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. In violent crime cases, investigators often try to get a suspect to explain “what happened” or claim self-defense on the spot — anything you say, even in your own defense, can be used against you before an attorney has reviewed the evidence. Say nothing beyond identifying yourself, and ask for a lawyer immediately.

Can I claim self-defense in a violent crime case?

Yes. Self-defense and defense of others are recognized legal defenses in Texas when the force used was reasonable and necessary to protect yourself or someone else from imminent harm. Whether self-defense applies depends heavily on the specific facts, and an experienced attorney can help determine whether it’s a viable strategy in your case.

What's the difference between manslaughter and murder charges?

Murder generally requires intent to kill or cause serious bodily injury. Manslaughter typically involves reckless conduct that causes death without that same intent, and criminally negligent homicide involves an even lower level of culpability. The distinction significantly affects potential sentencing, and prosecutors don’t always charge the correct level from the outset.

Will I be held in jail while my case is pending?

It depends on the charge and the judge’s assessment of flight risk and danger to the community. Serious violent crime allegations often come with high bail or bond conditions. An attorney can advocate for reasonable bond terms and, in some cases, argue for release pending trial.

How does a violent crime conviction affect my future?

A violent crime conviction can result in lengthy prison time, loss of firearm rights, and a permanent record that affects employment, housing, and immigration status. Some violent offenses in Texas are also classified in a way that can affect parole eligibility. Early, strategic representation is critical to minimizing these consequences.
