Lawyers At Your Side When You Face Felony Aggravated Assault Charges

Aggravated assault is a major crime that comes with grave consequences. An individual can be charged with aggravated assault if he or she attacks another individual and causes serious bodily harm or uses an object classified as a deadly weapon. The Texas Legislature defines the term “deadly weapon” very broadly. Nevertheless, we have a very lengthy and impressive record of getting these types of cases dismissed.
