Houston Assault & Domestic Violence Lawyers
Protecting Your Rights, Your Reputation, and Your Future

An assault or domestic violence accusation can have immediate and lasting consequences. Even before your case reaches a courtroom, a criminal charge can affect your career, your relationships, your reputation, and your freedom.

En Adrogué Law Firm, PLLC, we provide experienced criminal defense for individuals facing assault and domestic violence charges throughout Houston and the surrounding communities. We understand that every case has two sides, and we are committed to making sure your side is heard.

If you have been arrested or are under investigation, now is the time to protect your rights. Early legal representation can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.

Experienced Defense for Assault and Domestic Violence Charges

Texas prosecutors aggressively pursue assault and domestic violence allegations. These cases often involve conflicting statements, emotional circumstances, and limited physical evidence. Unfortunately, people can find themselves facing criminal charges based on misunderstandings, false accusations, or events that do not tell the complete story.

Our attorneys carefully examine every detail of your case, including witness statements, police reports, available evidence, and potential constitutional issues. We work to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case while developing a defense strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.

Understanding Assault Charges in Texas

Texas law recognizes several types of assault offenses, ranging from misdemeanor charges to serious felony allegations.

Depending on the circumstances, assault charges may involve allegations of:

  • Assault causing bodily injury
  • Assault involving family or household members
  • Aggravated assault
  • Assault with a deadly weapon
  • Threatening another person with bodily harm
  • Offensive or provocative physical contact

The severity of the charge often depends on the nature of the alleged injuries, the relationship between the parties involved, prior criminal history, and whether a weapon was allegedly used.

Domestic Violence Allegations Require Immediate Action

Domestic violence cases are unique because they often involve spouses, former partners, family members, or individuals living in the same household.

These cases can move quickly, and prosecutors may continue pursuing charges even if the alleged victim later decides they no longer wish to proceed.

A conviction can lead to serious penalties while also affecting child custody matters, firearm ownership, employment opportunities, professional licenses, and immigration status.

Because of these potential consequences, it is critical to work with an attorney who understands both the legal and personal challenges these cases present.

Our Approach to Criminal Defense

Every criminal case deserves careful preparation and individual attention.

At Adrogué Law Firm, we begin by understanding the facts, evaluating the evidence, and identifying opportunities to challenge the prosecution’s case. We investigate whether law enforcement followed proper procedures, whether witness statements are reliable, and whether the evidence supports the allegations.

When appropriate, we negotiate for reduced charges or dismissal. If your case proceeds to trial, we are prepared to advocate aggressively on your behalf.

Conoce tus derechos

If you are facing criminal charges, effective representation matters immediately — not just at trial, but during the pretrial phase, when the most important decisions in your case are often made. At Adrogué Law Firm, our Houston criminal defense attorneys give your case our full attention, so you are treated fairly by the criminal justice system and never left guessing about where your case stands.

Even when the facts seem stacked against you, skilled defense counsel can be the difference between jail time and probation — or between a permanent felony record and a clean one. Many convictions are avoidable with the right strategy applied early.

A criminal charge touches every part of your life. You likely have urgent questions, from how to confront the case against you to how to minimize the impact on your career, family, and future. We answer those questions directly, from day one.

Atendemos todas tus inquietudes

We are here to help. Our attorneys can answer your questions and offer straightforward guidance regarding your concerns.
¿Cuáles son mis derechos después de un arresto?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney — use both. You are not required to answer police questions, explain your side, or consent to searches. Politely state that you are exercising your right to remain silent and that you want a lawyer. Anything you say, even casually, can be used against you. Contact Adrogué Law Firm before speaking with investigators.

¿Por qué necesito un abogado de defensa penal?

Assault and domestic violence cases move fast, and prosecutors build their case from day one. An experienced defense attorney can intervene early — sometimes before charges are filed — to challenge weak evidence, protect you from damaging statements, negotiate bond conditions, and in some cases prevent a case from being filed at all. Early representation consistently produces better outcomes than waiting until a court date.

What Penalties Am I Facing?

It depends on how the offense is charged. In Texas, assault can range from a Class C misdemeanor (fine only) to a first-degree felony carrying years in prison. Family-violence findings add consequences beyond jail time: loss of firearm rights, immigration consequences, effects on child custody, and enhancement of any future allegation to a felony. We will explain exactly what your specific charge exposes you to during your consultation.

¿Debería declararme culpable?

Not before an attorney has reviewed your case. Many people plead guilty to “get it over with,” not realizing that a family-violence conviction can never be sealed or expunged in Texas and follows you permanently. Cases that look bad on paper often have defenses — conflicting witness statements, self-defense, lack of evidence, or constitutional violations. Let us evaluate your options first.

Can Charges Be Dropped If The Alleged Victim Recants?

Not automatically. In Texas, the State — not the alleged victim — decides whether to prosecute, and Harris County prosecutors routinely pursue domestic violence cases even when the complaining witness asks to drop charges. However, a recantation or an affidavit of non-prosecution can significantly affect the strength of the State’s case. We know how to use these developments strategically on your behalf.
