Family violence allegations move fast in Texas. One call to law enforcement can lead to arrest, protective orders, removal from your home, and restrictions on seeing your children — sometimes within hours.
If you are accused of family violence or facing a protective order in Austin or Central Texas, you need experienced legal representation immediately. These cases are serious, emotional, and aggressively prosecuted. Jessica has successfully defended many family violences that lead to a dismissal of the case or a denied application for a protective order.
JVH Law provides strategic, trial-ready defense for individuals facing family violence and aggravated assault allegations.
