Assault - Family Violence

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic dispute at a residence, and our client was arrested for assault family violence despite no reported injuries. The complainant made clear they did not wish to pursue the case. The state later offered a plea to a lower class offense with probation, but the client needed a clean outcome. We gathered an affidavit of non prosecution from the complainant, documented the client's proactive completion of an anger management course, and highlighted weaknesses in the evidence. After sustained pressure and meetings with the DA's office, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Collin County, None

Allegations

A domestic argument escalated to pushing, and the complainant reported that the client put hands near the neck. The client had a bite mark from the encounter, and a family member called police afterward. We moved quickly to address bond conditions and reviewed the statements and potential witness accounts, which were limited and disputed. We coordinated with the prosecutor on a family witness interview and provided proof that the client had already completed an anger management class. In light of the disputed facts and mitigating steps, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 11

Allegations

During a family dispute at a residence about removing someone from the home, tempers flared and a scuffle broke out. Officers alleged our client struck a relative and noted minor injuries on both sides; the client acknowledged throwing a punch after being confronted at close range. We scrutinized the report and witness accounts, showing that the two purported eyewitnesses did not see how the encounter began and that the facts were consistent with mutual combat. We also clarified the context of the client's statement and pressed the state's difficulty obtaining the complainant's cooperation. With credibility and proof issues mounting, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Police responded to a domestic disturbance and arrested our client at a residence. He consistently maintained that he did not strike anyone, and he had no prior history or protective order. We got involved immediately, obtained the case materials, and met with the prosecution to lay out the context of the argument and the limited severity of the allegations. We pressed for a full dismissal based on those facts and his clean record. The state agreed and dismissed the case.

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

A family argument at a residence escalated when the client stepped in to protect a family member. During the chaos, a kitchen knife on the counter was briefly picked up to stop the confrontation, and the other person recorded video and called police. No one was injured, but the client was arrested and strict protective conditions were imposed. We obtained the video, documented the lack of injury and context, and presented the complainant’s stated desire not to prosecute to the DA. After sustained negotiations, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated, a neighbor called 911, and officers documented red marks before arresting our client for felony strangulation after taking the initial statement. The client consistently denied choking. Soon after, the complaining witness signed an affidavit of non-prosecution and described the incident as a misunderstanding. We presented that affidavit to the prosecutor, compared it against the police narrative, and challenged the proof on strangulation. After sustained negotiations, the charge was reduced, keeping a felony conviction off the client's record.

Allegations

The client reported she was being grabbed by the ankles and threw a drink to get free. We obtained the police records and engaged early with the prosecutor. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented along with the self-defense context. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

The case arose from a disputed custody exchange at a home where the complainant alleged our client threw a diaper bag and small plastic toys, causing minimal contact. The arrest that followed led to charges being filed in the wrong county, despite the police report and address tying the event to a different jurisdiction. We pulled the discovery, verified the location against county boundaries, and pressed the venue issue with the prosecutor. Confronted with the jurisdictional defect, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Tarrant County, Fort Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

Police mailed our client a citation for assault by contact after a domestic dispute at a residence. The complainant arrived uninvited and intoxicated, and the client removed her after she began hitting him. We gathered the client's video clips and photos of fresh scratches and documented that she entered without permission and reported no injury. We highlighted that officers never came to the scene and relied on a phone account to issue the ticket. After we presented this evidence and asserted self-defense, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
