Facing Charges of Aggravated Assault?

Aggravated assault is a serious crime that comes with serious consequences. An individual can be charged with aggravated assault if he or she attacks another individual and subsequently causes serious bodily harm or uses an object classified as a "deadly weapon."  The courts define "deadly weapon" very broadly. However, we have a very lengthy and impressive record of getting these types of cases dismissed.

If you have been charged with aggravated assault, Pelley Law Office, L.L.P. can help you prepare a strong defense. Contact our law offices at 972-608-0335 or 903-813-4778. We offer a free initial consultation.

Understanding the Charges

At Pelley Law Offices, L.L.P., we begin by thoroughly investigating the charges against you. Even in the "toughest" of cases there are almost always a number of defenses available. Our firm will look at the facts to challenge the state's case:

• Was the accused acting in self-defense?
• Was the accused protecting an innocent third party?
• Was the crime committed accidentally?
• Can the identity of the accused be proven?
• Was it "mutual combat" (a fight agreed to by both you and the other person)?

Your Next Steps

If you were involved in a bar fight, street fight, or domestic dispute, you may find yourself facing charges of aggravated assault. This may be true even if you were not the aggressor and were acting in self-defense or in a mutual combat fight. The circumstances leading to your charges or arrest may be unclear, and you probably feel totally unprepared to deal with criminal charges that could leave you living your life in prison.

Aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon charges are serious felony allegations in Texas. You can spend up to 99 years in prison under certain circumstances. Do not wait to speak to a criminal defense attorney. Contact our law offices today to schedule a free initial consultation with a criminal defense lawyer so you can get protection.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
