Texas Domestic Violence Attorney
Outstanding Criminal Defense for Texas
A domestic violence charge can do considerable damage to a person’s
future and reputation. Domestic violence involves assault or aggressive

assault, as intimidation or using fear of bodily harm can cause equally intense
psychological distress.
