Houston Domestic Violence Attorney
Attorney Representation in Houston, Texas since 1992
Any Houston domestic violence attorney will tell you that an allegation of “family violence” should be taken very seriously. Whenever a violent act occurs between family members, spouses, domestic partners, children, and parents, former partners or people involved in a relationship, the abuse is referred to as “family violence”. If the District Attorney seeks an affirmative finding of “family violence” it is imperative that you contact an experienced Houston criminal lawyer immediately.
Domestic violence comes in several forms, such as threats, physical abuse, disturbances at work, stalking, threatening calls, and emotional abuse. The consequence of this type of conviction is incarceration. Domestic violence can be determined to be either a misdemeanor if it was only a minor injury or a felony if serious injury occurred such as broken bones, lacerations or abrasions to the body or face. In addition, past criminal offenses will be taken into account when determining the charge by the district attorney. If there has been a finding of “family violence” in your past, a routine misdemeanor could be enhanced to a felony and could make penitentiary time a very real possibility.
