San Antonio Lawyers for Assault and Sex Crime Defendants

Criminal charges for assault, battery or a sex offense can cause fear, embarrassment and uncertainty. They often arise out of situations where different people have different perspectives on what happened. But if the prosecutor is bringing a charge against you, they have taken a side.

You need a skilled advocate on your side. At Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley, based in San Antonio, we have been helping Texas and federal defendants fight criminal accusations for 40 years. Contact our San Antonio criminal assault defense attorneys to discuss your charges during a free initial phone consultation.

Defending You Against Violence Accusations

Assault — physically threatening behavior — and battery — violent or unwanted physical contact — are charges that frequently arise out of a number of situations such as domestic disputes and bar fights. These are serious charges that require the attention of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

If you are accused of family violence, you may, in addition to criminal charges, be facing a domestic violence restraining order hearing that will determine whether you will be forbidden from approaching your own home and family. Our attorneys can defend you in both proceedings.

Vigorous, Ethical Representation on Sex Charges

Conviction for a sexual offense can have particularly serious consequences, including permanent placement on a Texas and/or federal sex offender registry.

Sex offense cases can be difficult and unpopular for an attorney to take on, and many are squeamish about doing so. At Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley, we will provide a vigorous and ethical defense of your rights if you are accused of any of the following sexual offenses:

• Rape
• Sexual assault
• Aggravated sexual assault
• Child sexual assault
• Statutory rape
• Indecency with a child
• Assault with a deadly weapon
• Child pornography
• Bigamy

Under the American system of justice, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. We will fight to defend your presumption of innocence. Contact our South Texas criminal defense law firm today.
