The legal aftermath of a criminal charge—even a misdemeanor—can haunt you for years if you don't take proper action. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, I share why misdemeanor charges deserve serious attention and proper legal representation.

My own DWI charge from my early twenties followed me through job applications, law school admissions, and attorney licensing because I didn't understand my options for record cleaning. This experience drives my passion for helping clients avoid similar pitfalls. Family violence cases particularly demand careful handling, as Texas law imposes consequences more severe than many felonies—permanent record stains, lifetime firearm restrictions, and significant custody implications. 

Most people don't realize that "family violence" extends far beyond marriage to include dating relationships, co-parents, and even roommates. A college dormitory dispute could potentially carry devastating legal consequences under Texas law. While most charges allow for record sealing after successful completion of deferred adjudication, family violence cases with that formal finding remain permanently on your record unless dismissed or won at trial.

San Antonio's recent 12% decrease in homicides contrasts with the politically-motivated approach to family violence arrests, where officers often feel pressured to make arrests regardless of circumstances. This explains why over half of misdemeanor family violence cases here eventually get dismissed—but not before causing significant disruption to lives and livelihoods.
