Assault & Violent Crimes
One stupid bar fight or incident of domestic violence can affect you for the rest of your life. If you are convicted, you will end up with a permanent criminal record that can keep you from getting a good job or even renting an apartment.
At the law office of Peter Barrett in Dallas, Texas, our lawyers will work very hard to keep you from getting a conviction that will harm you in the future. We represent clients charged with all types of violent crimes, including:
- Assault and aggrivated assault (the charge of aggrivated assault usually refers to the threat of serious bodily injury)
- Domestic violence
- Robbery
- Illegal possession of a weapon charges, such as carrying a gun into a bar or into a restaurant that serves alcohol or carrying a concealed weapon without a permit
- Gang crimes
- Murder
There are several defenses our lawyers can use in cases of assault. One is self-defense or defense of a third party. Often, police do not bother to figure out who started a bar fight; they simply haul the last one standing off to jail. Police officers usually grade you on a much harder scale than a jury would when it comes to crimes such as assault and aggravated assault.
