Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence Charges Texas
San Antonio Board Certified Criminal Defense

Domestic violence, also known as family violence, occurs when a member of a household uses physical violence, threats, emotional abuse, harassment, or stalking to control the behavior of another member of the household. Family members involved in domestic violence may be heterosexual or homosexual, married or separated, living together or dating.

Contact the Law Offices of Anthony Cantrell immediately if you or someone you know has been charged with domestic violence or is suspected of or under investigation for domestic violence. It is important not to make any statements without an attorney present.

A variety of offenses may fall under the general category of domestic violence, including:
• assault
• battery
• kidnapping
• sexual assault
• false imprisonment.

Restraining orders, protective orders, and no-contact provisions may be invoked. Law enforcement has developed new policies for domestic violence over the past few years. The Texas court system has implemented extensive changes, and prosecuting attorneys are actively enforcing both new and existing domestic violence laws in Texas.

If you are arrested for a domestic violence related charge, contact our office as soon as possible. We have a better sense of what you should and should not say to law enforcement officers to avoid being misinterpreted or misunderstood. Anthony Cantrell also can advise you or your family or friends on the bail process.

The Law Offices of Anthony Cantrell provide a Bail Bond Service to our clients. This is extremely helpful because a bail bondsman has no way to negotiate the amount of bail set at your hearing. As your attorney, we can petition the court to set a lower bail so that you get more than just bail, you get a built in negotiator on your behalf for lower bail. We are available 24 hours a day – seven days a week if you need these services.

We offer:
• Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Criminal Law
• Emergency hearings and bail bond service 24 hours a day - 7 days a week
• Free initial consultations
• Affordable fees in writing
• Personal care and attention by an experienced Texas lawyer
