Fighting Assault Charges in Texas

San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyer Nico LaHood

You were in a heated argument, but no blows were exchanged. How is it that you're now being charged with assault?

Many of our clients don't understand how Texas law defines assault. Basically, any unwanted touch — even if it doesn't cause any injury — can result in criminal charges for simple assault.

Something as simple as restraining a girlfriend, boyfriend or roommate who is getting out of control can cause you to be arrested and charged with assault or domestic violence.

The other person attacked you. Why were you arrested?

Many times, the police are not concerned about who is at fault in a fight. It's a lot easier to lock you both up and let the courts sort it out. That is when it becomes extremely important to have an experienced defense lawyer on your side.

San Antonio criminal defense attorney Nico LaHood will fight in the trenches to protect your rights. He knows how to deal with overzealous cops and prosecutors who are more interested in convictions and guilty pleas than in justice.

As a former special prosecutor, Nico has the litigation experience and skill to protect you when if the State tries to railroad you or walk all over your rights. Call our office today at (210) 227-8236 or e-mail Nico directly for a free consultation.
