Assaultive Offenses

Defending People against Assault Charges in Texas

Allegations of assault can arise out of domestic disputes, bar fights, fights between acquaintances, and situations where you weren't even the first aggressor. Since police officers usually show up after the fight has started, they have to take the word of witnesses to determine whom to arrest. This might not be the person responsible for the assault.
