Assault Defenses
The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure allows for certain legal defenses against a criminal charge of assault or aggravated assault, and if we are unable to argue that you did not commit the assault, we may choose one of those affirmative defenses.
An affirmative defense - a defense in which you admit doing it, but argue that you had a legal reason - in an assault case could be that you believed the assault was necessary to prevent the person from harming you or someone else, or to prevent the person from stealing your property.
Call us or use our Consultation Form to contact us regarding your legal matter so that we can discuss your case. We are available during regular business hours between 8:00 and 5:30, Monday through Friday, and weekends and after hours by appointment at other times.
