Domestic Violence Charges

A lot of times people come to us, a wife or a girlfriend, asking "How do I drop charges once an assault for domestic violence has already been filed?" The problem is, once someone is in an argument at their home and that person makes the 911 call, the cats out of the bag and you can't un-ring that bell. The state of Texas then takes over the charge and prosecutes the case. Often, whether you, the wife, or girlfriend wants you prosecuted or not, the charges can only be dismissed and can only be dropped by the state of Texas through its district attorney. What you need in order to get charges dropped is an aggressive, strong defense. The way you do that, first and foremost, is you hire lawyers who have the reputation for not backing down and not laying down for the district attorney. At Stradley, Chernoff and Alford that is the kind of lawyer you are going to get.
