Assault Charges Defense for Pearland and Surrounding Areas in Texas
One bar fight or incident of domestic violence can affect you for the rest of your life. If you are convicted, you will end up with a permanent criminal record that can keep you from getting a good job or even renting an apartment.
When you have been accused of an assault charge, very often what you need most from a defense lawyer is someone who can untangle the mess and find a solution that avoids significant penalties and a criminal record. At the Law office of Victor Sturm in Pearland, Texas, we are focused on this outcome and getting real and practical results for people in Pearland and surrounding areas.
At the Sturm Law Firm, we will work very hard to keep you from getting a conviction that will harm you in the future. We represent clients charged with all types of violent crimes, including:
- Assault and aggravated assault (the charge of aggravated assault usually refers to the threat of serious bodily injury)
- Domestic violence
- Assault by threat or contact
- Bodily injury
- Battery
- Murder
In Texas assault and battery statute, assault is defined as the threat or attempt of violence against another person, with the apparent ability to carry out the treat, therefore causing reasonable fear in the victim. Assault is distinguished from battery in that it does not involve the actual carrying out of the threat or attempt. Battery involves striking or touching another person, intentionally and against the victim's will. Often assault and battery charges are grouped together and used interchangeably in common use.
If you are accused of a first time violent offense, then we can help you fight to keep your record clean and take advantage of the options and leniency that may be available. If you are facing a charge as a repeat offender, then we will work to keep you out of jail and challenge the aggressive prosecution that you may face.
Self defense, mistaken identity and lack of physical evidence are all means to successfully defend assault and battery charges. Victor Sturm and his staff will thoroughly review the circumstances of your arrest to determine exactly how to best defend your case. It may be that law enforcement illegally entered your premises or collected evidence in a manner which violates your rights. As an experienced assault defense lawyer, Sturm will use this and any other information, evidence or testimony in order to weaken and destroy the prosecution’s case against you.
All too often, people charged with assault do not act quickly enough to build a strong defense. An experienced and skilled assault defense attorney can help you build a solid defense early, when it matters most, and can pull apart a weak case against you.
For more than three decades, the Sturm law Firm has built its reputation on the foundation of dependable criminal defense counsel and real results. To schedule a free consultation at our office and find out how we can put our experience and resources behind your case, call (281) 485-2011
