Assault Defense Lawyer in Frisco, Texas
Under Texas Law, you can be convicted of assault if you intentionally, knowingly or recklessly cause or threaten bodily injury to another person or if you intentionally or knowingly cause physical contact with another person while aware that the person will consider that contact to be offensive or undesirable.
Depending on the facts of your assault case, you may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. Additionally, if you are charged with committing an assault against a public servant or an elderly person, you may face enhanced penalties.
Assault and domestic violence charges can result in extremely serious penalties that could affect you for the rest of your life. In some circumstances, you could be refused access to your children or other family members. In other cases, you could be prohibited from owning any type of firearm.
