WHEN LOVE TURNS VIOLENT
Depending
on the nature of the violent act, the prosecutors can charge it either
as a misdemeanor or a felony. A class A misdemeanor assault means that
one person caused bodily injury (or pain) to their partner. If the
person used a deadly weapon, then it is a felony assault. If the person
choked their partner or restricted their breathing, then it is also a
felony. No matter the level of the criminal offense charged, you can
expect the court to order you out of your home and have no contact until
the case is resolved with your partner or spouse.
Fort Bend county prosecutors immediately call
the alleged victim to get their statement as to what happened. The
prosecutors lock in the emotional stress of the event by obtaining their
immediate statement. However, facts tend to change and the importance
of the incidence significantly lessens frequently after a short cooling
off time.
The best way to resolve the case is by first talking with a criminal defense attorney. Houston Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan
will consider the merits of your case and give you an honest
evaluation. He will aggressively defend you. His legal fees are
