Family Violence

Being accused of family violence can flip your life upside down in a matter of hours. One call, one accusation, and suddenly you’re facing arrest, being removed from your home, losing contact with loved ones, and staring at charges that could follow you for life.

In Texas, “family violence” covers a wide range of situations — from physical altercations to accusations of threats or intimidation against a spouse, partner, roommate, or family member. Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding. Sometimes it’s exaggerated. And sometimes, the truth gets lost before you ever have a chance to tell it.

At Cardenas Witt Law, we know what’s on the line. A conviction can mean jail time, steep fines, loss of child custody, a permanent criminal record, and damage to your reputation that’s hard to undo. That’s why we dig into the facts, challenge weak or misleading evidence, and make sure your voice is heard in and out of the courtroom.
