Criminal Defense

Assault & Family Violence

Any type of assault charge, especially family violence, can carry serious penalties for the accused.

If you have been accused of assault, it is in your best interest to have an experienced criminal attorney defending you.  Lynn Johnson will fight for you and protect your rights while resolving your case as quickly and efficiently as possible so you and your family can get back to living a normal life.

Tragically, many Family and Domestic Violence charges result from misunderstandings, or false claims motivated by other conflicts, such as a child custody dispute.

Family and Domestic Violence charges are taken very seriously by Texas courts.  In Texas, alleged victims have no right to have a case dismissed, allowing prosecutors to move forward with a domestic or family violence case even if the victim does not want to pursue the charge.  Attorney Lynn Johnson knows how to work with this burden and build an effective defense for you.

The punishment in Assault cases ranges between serious felony jail time and minor misdemeanor punishment.  A conviction for family violence remains on your record forever, with collateral consequences, such as limiting job opportunities, denial of certain licenses, and hardship in renting an apartment.
