Domestic Violence

Because Family Violence is typically filed as a Class A Misdemeanor, many defendants fail to grasp how an allegation of domestic violence can adversely impact their life. It not only jeopardizes a defendant’s freedom, but it can also adversely affect their rights to serve as the managing conservator of their children. Additionally, it can destroy a person’s professional reputation and social image. A conviction can also rob you of your right to own a firearm or ammunition. You should never take allegations of domestic violence lightly. Immediately contact Attorney Charles Adams for a FREE INTIAL CONSULTATION. Texas law broadly defines the term “family” to include any household member, a spouse, child, parent, sibling,roommate, or someone with whom the accused has a “dating relationship.” Simply being arrested for domestic violence can lead to the issuance of an emergency protective order, which prohibits the defendant from going within a certain distance of the victim. If you reside with the victim, the order will prohibit you from returning home until the order expires. If you violate a protective order, the state can charge you with an additional crime. Charles D. Adams defends people against domestic violence charges arising from allegations of domestic abuse, child abuse, assault and sexual assault of a family member.
