You never want to meet with the police and answer questions about an alleged family violence incident. Our family violence defense team has experience in this situation, and we will talk to the police for you and protect your rights in the process. In family violence investigations it is often presumed that you are guilty. There is rarely a presumption of innocence. Going to speak with the police or investigator will not help you if they already think you are guilty. And guess what, even though they say that they want “to get both sides of the story” many just want to see if you’ll confess or make a statement that can be used against you. They aren’t going to believe you if you claim innocence. So let our team handle this critical part of the case by talking to the police for you.

Not really. You are thinking of what’s called an “affidavit of non-prosecution”. Which is a document that a victim or complaining witness signs in a family violence case. In this situation the State can still prosecute the defendant. The victim has no legal right to have the case dismissed. She may express her wishes to the prosecutor and the prosecutor may ignore that affidavit. If we believe an affidavit will help your case, then we can discuss how that process works in Kaufman County.

Most family violence cases in Kaufman County are misdemeanor offenses. The exceptions are if you have a previous conviction or probation for family violence, or if you are alleged to have choked the victim. Then it becomes a felony offense..
