Houston Assault and Battery Attorney

Everyone gets angry from time to time, but when anger erupts into violence, a charged of assault and battery can be the result.

If you or someone you love has been arrested and accused of assault and battery, please contact the Law Offices of David A. Breston as soon as possible for a free telephone consultation.

Assault stops short of physical contact. Threats of violence are considered assault. Battery is any type of violence that involves touching another person.

Addressing the Cause of the Problem

Many assault and battery charges stem from domestic conflicts that get out of hand. We represent both men and women from all walks of life who have been charged with assault and battery. We often recommend our clients seek anger management or counseling. This proactive step shows the prosecutor that you are serious about addressing the root of the problem that grew into a criminal charge.

A conviction for assault and battery can have long-term consequences. You may lose your ability to own a fire arm. In divorce proceedings, your spouse will get an inequitable share of the estate if you have an assault and battery conviction on your record.

Our attorneys will work diligently to get the charge reduced or dismissed so that your future won't be compromised by accusations made in the heat of the moment.

If you have need of effective criminal defense, do not hesitate to contact us, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
