An assault arrest moves fast. In Dallas County, prosecutors begin building their strategy immediately, while surveillance footage is overwritten and witnesses forget what they saw. Texas assault law is also broader than most people realize: a threat of bodily injury or offensive contact can be charged without anyone being hurt.

The stakes reach well past the courtroom. A conviction can put professional licenses, security clearances, firearm rights, immigration status and child custody at risk, and the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony can come down to a single allegation about injury, a weapon, or who the complainant is.

Before the firm was founded, our attorneys prosecuted assault cases for Dallas County. Our team runs its own investigation from the first call: preserving video, interviewing witnesses police never contacted, and analyzing 911 calls and reports for inconsistencies. We build defenses around self-defense, defense of others, false accusations, lack of intent and mistaken identity, and we push for dismissal, a grand jury no-bill or a reduction at every stage.

Everything you tell us is protected by attorney-client privilege, so you can be completely open with us. Do not speak to law enforcement or contact the alleged victim before you talk to a lawyer.
