Assault - Family Violence

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, the client struck a family member and a 911 call led to an arrest for assault family violence. There were no photos taken at the scene and the complaining witness did not wish to pursue charges. We moved in early, obtained the police reports and recordings, and the complainant signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We compiled a mitigation and evidence packet and pressed the state on limited corroboration. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Injury to a Child (Intentional Bodily Injury)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC1

Allegations

A later traffic stop led to our client’s arrest on a warrant stemming from a school report that she injured her child during a chaotic episode at home. The nonverbal child, later documented as being on the spectrum, had been throwing items and striking family members, and the client admitted using her hands and a broom to move him toward the shower. We compiled medical and school records confirming the diagnosis, ER visits, and behavioral crises, and provided proof of completed parenting courses. We presented the context and contested any intent to injure. The state reduced the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Allegations

Police issued a Class C assault by contact citation after a domestic disagreement at a residence, when the complainant said her wrist hurt as the client took back his phone. We got involved quickly, opened discussions with the prosecution, and sought the police report and any video. Our review of the incident showed the complainant had taken the phone first, there were no documented injuries, and her statements and later messages were inconsistent. We packaged those issues and pressed the State on proof of offensive contact. The prosecution dismissed the case for insufficient evidence.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Following a dispute with a former partner at a storage facility, our client admitted to a brief slap and was arrested for assault family violence. We secured the police report and dug into the evidence. The investigation showed the facility's surveillance did not capture any physical contact and photos documented no visible injury, while the state's case hinged on a pain claim alone. We presented those proof problems along with mitigation and our client's clean history. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

An argument at a residence escalated after a night of drinking, and police arrested our client for family violence based on the partner's initial statement and photos of injuries. Once retained, we moved quickly to obtain an affidavit of non prosecution and a detailed follow up statement describing mutual intoxication and that the contact occurred while the partner was restraining the client. We presented this context to the prosecutor, emphasized the complainant's lack of interest in prosecution, and made clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, D297

Allegations

The case began after an altercation in a residential parking area as the complaining witness approached the client’s home. Hearing the commotion, the client brought her inside, asked a neighbor to call 911, and called himself, providing aid while officers responded. Months later, investigators alleged he helped orchestrate the attack with another person. We obtained and reviewed the 911 audio, bodycam, surveillance clips, and interview transcripts. We emphasized shifting statements, no direct link to any plan, and that another individual was pursued as the assailant. The state dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Police alleged our client orchestrated an attack on a pregnant acquaintance outside a residence. He maintained he rendered aid and called 911, and a neighbor also contacted police. Investigators later identified another person as the assailant, yet the state tried to tie our client to it through timelines and phone activity. We obtained 911 and video records, compared reports with sworn testimony, and documented key inconsistencies in the complainant’s account. With no direct evidence linking him to any plan, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge
