Collin County Attorneys Defend Clients Facing Assault Charges

Assault and Battery Criminal Defense Lawyers in Plano, Texas

Assault is a crime of violence against another person. It is not necessary to have caused actual physical harm; rather a threat of violence towards another person is sufficient for a charge or conviction. Assault can range from simple assault to more violent crimes such as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, where serious bodily injury is inflicted.

The Law Office of Jeff L. Pierce has extensive experience defending clients accused of assault crimes. We defend clients charged with all misdemeanor and felony assault cases.

If you are accused of assault and battery, do not delay. Call our Plano office at (972) 423-0331 or e-mail us today for a free initial consultation. We are skilled trial attorneys prepared to develop a strong defense strategy.

Defending Clients Facing Assault Charges

Defense attorney Jeff L. Pierce is a former prosecutor and police officer with more than 25 years of experience. He is joined by criminal defense lawyer Tom O'Connell, who served as Collin County's elected criminal district attorney. Our legal team's clear understanding of how the other side works helps us defend clients accused of:

• Assault and battery
• Aggravated assault
• Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
• Domestic assault
• Family violence and spousal abuse
• Bar fights, street fights, and violent crimes

Domestic violence and assault are serious charges. The district attorney's office may choose to prosecute even if the alleged victim refuses to pursue charges or testify. A domestic abuse arrest may lead to a restraining order or protective order being filed, which can effectively dismantle a family, leaving the party charged with domestic violence locked out of their house and cut off from their children.

Our attorneys prepare every case for trial, reviewing evidence and other facts critical for an effective defense. We determine whether our clients felt in danger or acted in self-defense. If a trial is not in your interest, defense lawyer Jeff Pierce will negotiate with prosecutors for a reduced sentence.
