Answer:
If you are accused of assault family violence (also known as domestic violence) you need an attorney immediately. You could be facing up to a year in jail and a loss of your rights to ever own a gun in the future. Even a deferred adjudication will result in a loss of your right to ever own a gun. I have been successful in getting family or domestic violence cases dismissed. I have handled several hundred family violence cases and most have ended with some form of dismissal. The sooner I get started, the better the results I can obtain. I never give up. Whether charged with domestic (family) violence or some other serious offense such as DWI, I can help.
