DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Family violence allegations move fast and hit hard. Before the facts are ever sorted out, you can be removed from your home, separated from your children, and saddled with a protective order. At Roeder Witt, we defend clients throughout Ellis County and Waxahachie against domestic violence charges, drawing on our experience as former prosecutors who've handled these cases firsthand. 

Domestic violence charges carry consequences that reach beyond the criminal courtroom. A conviction—or even just an accusation—can affect custody and divorce proceedings, your right to possess a firearm, your housing, and your employment. Protective orders can be issued quickly and change your daily life immediately. The stakes are high from the very first day. 

These cases are often more complicated than the initial report suggests. Allegations can arise from heated arguments, mutual conflict, misunderstandings, or—in contested divorces and custody disputes—from motives that have nothing to do with safety. We take the time to understand what actually happened, gather the evidence that tells the full story, and defend against accusations made in the heat of a difficult moment. 

Having prosecuted family violence cases, we know how these charges are pursued, how victims' statements are used, and where the proof tends to fall short—including cases where the alleged victim no longer wishes to proceed. We use that knowledge to protect your rights and pursue the best available outcome.
