Domestic Violence

Domestic violence and spousal abuse charges have never been more serious. In the past, police would respond to a domestic disturbance and settle the matter with no arrest. Now, a call to 911 almost always ends in a full arrest and aggressive prosecution.

A conviction may result in sanctions against one’s professional license, limitations in child visitation rights, loss of gun privileges, mandatory counseling, extensive fines, restraining orders and significant jail time.

Of real significance in Texas is a law that requires a second-offense of family violence be charged as a felony. That means that if you are found or even plead guilty to any misdemeanor domestic violence charge, your next offense will have extreme consequences.

I fully investigate every aspect of domestic abuse allegations to ensure your rights are protected. I apply my many years of prosecutorial experience to achieve the best possible outcome for every family violence matter.

I represent defendants in all aspects domestic violence, from simple battery to self-defense spousal homicide.

I am sensitive to the family situations that are involved, and in addition to providing a solid defense, I advocate counseling to help couples get through this difficult time.
