Lubbock Assault Defense Lawyers
Under Texas law, a person can be convicted of assault either intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly. Often, the accused cause or threaten to cause bodily injury to another person. Intentionally or knowingly coming into physical contact with another person when the contact would be deemed offensive or unwanted is equally important in assault defense cases. This, of course, is the simplest form of assault.
Other forms include aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault of a public servant, as well as many others. Depending on which type of assault you or a family member have been accused of, the potential consequences of one of these charges could range anywhere from probation to 20 years in prison.

Intoxication Assault Defense Attorney
In a prosecution for intoxication manslaughter or intoxication assault, the prosecution is not required to prove that the accused intended to cause the death. Nor is it required to prove that the accused recklessly caused the death. All the prosecution has to prove is that the person was intoxicated and by reason of that intoxication caused the death or serious bodily injury of another. Many times prosecutors will seek a conviction only proving that the accused was intoxicated and death or serious bodily injury occurred. An experienced defense lawyer, like those at Hurley & Guinn, will not let this happen. No matter who you decide to hire, your attorney must force the prosecutor to prove that intoxication actually caused the accident.
