Charged with Assault in Texas?
We Build Aggressive Defenses for Violent Crime Allegations
Assault charges can turn your life upside down in a matter of moments—especially if the allegations involve a weapon, injury, or someone you know personally. At Christian & Nisbet, we don’t just react—we respond with a calculated legal strategy designed to protect your record, freedom, and future.
We Defend Against a Wide Range of Assault Charges
Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or felony assault, we represent clients in cases involving:
Misdemeanor assault (bodily injury or threats)
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Assault causing serious bodily injury
Assault of a family or household member
Assault of a public servant
Self-defense and mutual combat cases
Bar fights, road rage incidents, or domestic disputes
We know that not every altercation tells the full story—and we make sure your side is heard.
OUR APPROACH
Focused on Facts. Built for Trial.
Assault cases often boil down to credibility: who’s believed and what evidence backs up the claim. We dig deeper into witness statements, surveillance footage, medical records, and any past history between parties. If self-defense or provocation is a factor, we’ll bring it to light.
We’re not interested in quick plea deals unless they serve your best interest. Our team prepares for trial from the start to ensure you're positioned for the best possible outcome.
Potential Penalties and Consequences
The penalties for assault vary significantly depending on the nature of the charge:
Misdemeanor Assault: Up to 1 year in jail and $4,000 in fines
Aggravated Assault: 2 to 20 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines
Family Violence Assault: Additional consequences, including loss of gun rights and protective orders
A conviction can also affect your ability to find employment, housing, or maintain custody of your children.
