In Texas assault is defined as the threat or attempt of violence against another person, with the apparent ability to carry out the threat, therefore causing reasonable fear in the victim. Assault is distinguished from battery in that it does not involve the actual carrying out of the threat or attempt. Battery involves striking or touching another person, intentionally and against the victim's will. Often assault and battery charges are grouped together and used interchangeably in common use.

Self defense, mistaken identity and lack of physical evidence are all means to successfully defend assault and battery charges. Victor Sturm and his staff will thoroughly review the circumstances of your arrest to determine exactly how to best defend your case. Law enforcement may have illegally entered your premises or collected evidence in a manner which violates your rights.

As an experienced assault defense lawyer, Sturm will use this and any other information, evidence or testimony in order to weaken and destroy the prosecution’s case against you.

        THE RIGHT DEFENSE STRATEGY FOR YOU IS KEY

If you are accused of a first time violent offense, then Sturm can help you fight to keep your record clean and take advantage of the options and leniency that may be available. If you are facing a charge as a repeat offender, then he will work to keep you out of jail and challenge the typically aggressive prosecution that seeks conviction and maximum penalties.

All too often, people charged with assault do not act quickly enough to hire an attorney who can build a strong defense for them. An experienced and skilled assault defense attorney can pull apart a weak case against you and present a solid defense to the court early, when it matters most.
