Family Violence: An Accusation That Can’t Be Taken Back

At Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, L.L.P., we understand from our years of experience as chief prosecutors and assistant district attorneys that charges of family assault are often made without much forethought on the part of the accuser.

Most prosecutors in Texas have a firm policy that they will never drop spousal abuse charges—even when the alleged victim says that the charges were a mistake. This policy is intended to protect a battered wife from being bullied by her abuser into dropping legitimate charges. In many cases, however, an ill-considered or spiteful call to the police sets a prosecution in motion that is not in the interest of either the accused or the accuser—and it virtually cannot be stopped.

If you or a loved one has been accused of committing a crime involving family assault or domestic violence, we are here to help. Each  Houston, Texas family violence lawyer at Stradley, Chernoff & Alford is board-certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is dedicated to protecting our clients from unreasonable and overbearing prosecution.
