How To Get An Assault Case Dismissed: A Former Prosecutor Answers Your Questions! (2021)

Описание: How To Get An Assault Case Dismissed – A Former Prosecutor Breaks It Down!

Assault is vigorously prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Office in Tarrant County. If you were arrested for assault, you need to consult with a criminal defense lawyer with real trial experience and vast knowledge of the Texas Penal Code. I have dedicated my career to Texas criminal law, trying countless misdemeanor and felony cases before both judges and juries. Prior to opening my boutique criminal defense law firm, I worked as a prosecutor in Tarrant and Collin Counties for the District Attorney’s Office. My previous experience as a prosecutor enables me to think critically and holistically about each client’s case. I will do my best to evaluate the facts and evidence, poke holes in the prosecution’s case, zealously advocate for your rights, and present a creative yet strong defense theory.
While criminal assault may come in many formats in Tarrant County, any type of criminal conviction can have dire and lasting consequences for your future. Not only do you face lengthy prison time, fines, and parole, but you may suffer difficulty in finding and maintaining employment and even renting an apartment. I can assist you with understanding the nature of the assault charges, deciding how to best proceed with your case, and diligently and doggedly pursuing justice on your behalf. I provide free consultations to residents of Fort Worth, Arlington, Tarrant County, and other surrounding cities.

WHAT IS ASSAULT?
Assault is a blanket term used by the Texas legislature that can involve either traditional battery or assault. The Texas Penal Code § 22.01 defines assault as:
Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury to another;
Intentionally or knowingly threatening another with imminent bodily injury; or
Intentionally or knowingly causing an unconsented, offensive, or provocative contact with another.
Assault can involve a stranger, a friend, a family member, or a romantic partner. Domestic violence acts of intoxication and road rage all constitute assault. While assault generally refers to misdemeanor assault, it can take many other forms depending on the exact circumstances including:
• Aggravated assault
• Domestic violence
