Defending Clients Against a Many Different Charges
Under Texas law, there are a variety of different types of violent crime, and each one involves specific legal standards and specific ranges of consequences if you are convicted. Among the most common violent criminal charges are:
- Assault and aggravated assault
- Battery and aggravated battery
- Domestic assault and battery
- Robbery and aggravated robbery
- Homicide
The terminology for violent crimes can be confusing. Assault is a threat of imminent physical harm, and it is considered a violent crime even if no actual physical attack takes place. Many violent crime charges can be considered "aggravated" if deadly weapons are used or other circumstances make them more serious.
Attorney Raul A. Guajardo fully understands the Texas criminal laws involving violent crimes and will vigorously defend your rights. He will always give your case the personal attention it deserves and put in the work that needs to be done.
Fighting for Your Rights in Domestic Violence Hearings
If you have been charged with domestic violence — any sort of violent crime, including assault, against a family member — you could be facing not only criminal charges, but also an order of protection, also known as a restraining order. This special legal procedure can prevent you from entering your own home or seeing your children, so it should be taken very seriously.
Protective order hearings involve tight deadlines. If you have had a temporary protective order served on you, contact us to make sure you are adequately represented at the hearing.
