Criminal Conviction Can Have a High Personal Cost
In Dallas, domestic violence is defined by TX Penal Code Ch 71.004. You can be arrested for domestic or family violence if you were accused of:
- An act of assault against a family member
- A threat against a family member
- Sexual assault against a family member
- Physical abuse on a child in your family
- Violence against a date
Convictions on felony charges can put your lifestyle and career in jeopardy. It can mean difficulty obtaining housing or mean you are ineligible for financial aid to reach your education and career goals. We fight hard to limit these life-changing consequences.
Factors That Mitigate Your Domestic Violence Arrest
Whenever we can, we try to have the charges against you dismissed. If police mishandled your arrest or the evidence against you, we use that information to your advantage. When we represent you, we also look for the following:
- Lack of probable cause for your arrest
- Failure to inform you of your Miranda rights
- Questioning you after you requested a domestic violence lawyer
In addition, if the victim has injuries caused because you were acting in self-defense, we help you prove those facts. If the alleged victim tells an inconsistent version of events, we can help you, the police, and the prosecutor get to the bottom of the incident. We leave no stone unturned in your defense and work hard to resolve your case in your favor.

- Class B misdemeanor: Up to six months in jail and fines of up to $2,000
