Assault Family Violence Attorney
Houston Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer.
Arrested for Domestic Violence in Houston?
Domestic violence charges can move quickly and become complicated almost immediately after an arrest. In many cases, a person may be removed from their home, placed under protective orders, or restricted from seeing family members before the full facts are ever reviewed in court.
Texas prosecutors aggressively pursue domestic violence allegations, even when the alleged victim later asks for charges to be dropped. Arguments between spouses, dating partners, family members, or people living in the same household can quickly turn into criminal investigations based on limited evidence, conflicting statements, or emotional accusations made during heated situations.
Andre L. Ligon defends clients throughout Houston and across Texas facing domestic violence and assault family violence charges. These cases often involve witness credibility issues, inconsistent statements, lack of visible injuries, or allegations that do not fully match what actually occurred.
Assault Family Violence Charges in Texas.
Domestic violence allegations in Texas may involve misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the circumstances, prior criminal history, alleged injuries, or claims involving weapons. A conviction can affect employment opportunities, firearm rights, professional licenses, child custody matters, and future background checks.
Many people underestimate how serious these cases can become, especially when prosecutors pursue enhanced felony charges or protective orders that remain in place during the criminal proceedings.
Early legal representation can be critical when protecting your rights, limiting damaging statements, and preparing a defense strategy before the case progresses further through the court system.
