Assault Family Violence
Dallas Assault Family Violence Attorney
The Traylor Law Firm has handled Assault Family Violence cases since 1995. Assault Family Violence cases are handled differently in most Texas cities and counties than they were in past years. There are exceptions to this, and it’s important to have a lawyer who knows where the exceptions are. But for the most part, gone are the days when a victim could walk in and drop charges.
State and city prosecutors will usually seek a plea bargain even with a reluctant complaining witness. You need a lawyer with experience to get the best result. Because we want the very best result, we’ll take time to listen to you. We’ll tailor our handling of your case to your specific situation. We’ll work on your case together.

Warrants? Often Assault Family Violence cases are filed even if you’ve already left the scene. This is called filing the case “at large.” Police officers called to the scene will gather information on you to file a case. In some cases they mail notice of the filing to your address. In other cases, a case gets filed, a warrant gets issued, and you never know you’ve been charged until the day you get arrested.
