Collin County Assault and Domestic Violence Charge
Collin County Defense Lawyers in Assault Cases
Law enforcement’s response to domestic violence and assault charges has changed dramatically in recent years.
Previously, police officers could arrive, assess the situation, and decide for themselves how to proceed.
Now, law enforcement takes an altogether different approach. Often, police departments have policies (written or unwritten) that police officers must always make an arrest in domestic violence situations, even if the alleged victim protests. Due to these policies, domestic violence charges have skyrocketed and many otherwise innocent people have found themselves under arrest.
It gets worse. Once you are charged, the State becomes the complaining party. The case is now styled, “The State of Texas vs. YOU.” This forbids the complaining party from dropping the charges. Instead the State will proceed, regardless of the complaining party’s wishes.
Protective Orders
Courts can issue protective orders based solely on allegations of domestic abuse. This can create heavy burdens because temporary restraining orders can prevent access to a family’s house, including access to collect clothing or other necessities, the other spouse and children.
As Assault Attorneys, we work to get restraining orders and emergency protective orders modified or lifted. Modification of a restraining order could allow the individual accused of domestic violence or spousal abuse back into the home.
Our Goal
Our Goal for each of our clients is to obtain the best possible result. What does that mean? For each person, the best possible result is different. For many, it means a dismissal or being found not guilty, keeping your record clean, and preventing you from being a convicted criminal. For others, the best possible result may be a successful plea bargain negotiation with as small a punishment as possible.
