Assault & Family Violence

Central Texas Domestic Violence Lawyers

When tempers flair and angry words give way to violent actions, it can be difficult once the conflict has died down to determine exactly what precipitated the incident. Whether the assault has occurred in the home involving persons sharing domestic space, or in a crowded parking lot between strangers, it is important to secure legal representation immediately.

At Hines, Ranc & Holub, in Austin, Texas, our attorneys apply over 50 years of combined experience to the defense of those charged with assault or domestic violence. We understand that sometimes bad things happen to good people and we seek to provide support in situations where impersonal systems overtake rational thinking. Contact us today.

Assault Charges: What You Need to Know

• When law enforcement responds to an incident involving assault, chances are, all parties involved will be detained or even arrested – even those who were simply defending themselves.
• Before speaking with the police, it is critical that you engage an attorney who can advise you and ensure that you do not sign away your rights.
• Our attorneys take an aggressive approach early on in defense cases, gathering statements, employing investigators and obtaining security camera footage when available to build a strong case.
• While we can never promise an outcome, we work for reduced charges or dismissal of charges altogether. In addition, we explore options such as alternative sentencing.

Domestic Violence: Dismantling the Machinery

• When an assault takes place between those living under the same roof, matters often escalate uncontrollably: social workers, victims’ rights groups and the courts can all become involved. What might have been an argument involving minor physical contact may result in a criminal charge.
• At Hines, Ranc & Holub, we acknowledge the serious nature of domestic violence and therefore work to ensure that criminal cases involving domestic abuse are handled in a rational manner. Our attorneys are experienced in protecting clients from often overreactive or heavy-handed legal processes.
• We advise clients on ways to avoid some of the pitfalls associated with the Travis County court system and self-serving family violence programs.
