At Barnett Howard & Williams PLLC, we defend against all violent crime charges. While the law in Texas states that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, prosecutors will put forth every effort to see that you are convicted. Depending on the charge, a conviction could result in penalties that are life-changing or even life-ending, if you face capital murder charges. You need a dedicated Fort Worth criminal defense attorney to help you maintain your innocence.
Aggravated Assault Charges Defense Attorneys
Assault charges come in many forms. People can face charges of simple assault for merely making threats of bodily injury. Aggravated assault is a more serious offense, typically charged when the alleged victim suffered severe injuries or there was a weapon involved in the altercation. When an alleged assault involves individuals in a romantic relationship, family members or members of the same household, it is usually charged as domestic violence. Our lawyers defend against all assault charges, including all 3G offenses.
Violent Crime Defense Lawyers
As former prosecutors, we are skilled in the courtroom and prepared to defend against any violent crime charge. In addition to assault charges, we can defend against charges of homicide, sexual assault, and other violent sex crimes, armed robbery, and more.
Murder and Manslaughter Defense Attorneys
In our legal system, the loss of a life is considered one of, if not, the most heinous criminal acts that exist. In Texas, the penalties for murder and manslaughter reflect the obvious seriousness of the offense.
Murder
In general, murder is a first-degree felony. A person charged with the first-degree felony of murder faces anywhere from 5 to 99 years in the penitentiary and up to a $10,000 fine. If it can be shown during trial for murder that a person committed the murder under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from adequate cause, the classification for murder can drop to a second-degree felony. For a second-degree felony, a person faces anywhere from 2 to 10 years in the penitentiary and up to a $10,000 fine.
Capital Murder
Under some circumstances, the offense of murder can be enhanced to a capital felony. If convicted of a capital felony a person faces only two options: life without parole or the death penalty.
9 circumstances can enhance the offense of murder to capital murder. These are:
the person murders a peace officer or fireman who is acting in the lawful discharge of an official duty and who the person knows is a peace officer or fireman;
the person intentionally commits the murder in the course of committing or attempting to commit kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or terroristic threat under Section 22.07(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), or (6);
the person commits the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration or employs another to commit the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration;
the person commits the murder while escaping or attempting to escape from a penal institution;
