Levels of Charges in Texas Family Violence Cases
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your arrest, the level of your charge may change, as well as the potential penalties that accompany a conviction on that charge. A simple assault is a Class C offense, while an aggravated assault that results in a serious bodily injury or involves a deadly weapon is classified as a 2nd degree felony. It is important to understand what your rights are in these cases and what you could be facing down the road.
Our lawyers will thoroughly review your case to determine what happened, whether the events in question happened the way they were alleged and whether your rights were violated at any time during the process. You can put your confidence in our ability to look at your side of the story and work for the reduction or dismissal of your charges.
