Domestic Violence

San Antonio, Texas, Domestic Violence Attorney Bill Baskette

Working Alternatives to Conviction and Jail Time

While domestic violence is never to be tolerated, police often remove a spouse or boyfriend when a non-physical argument results in the police being called to a home.

At the San Antonio, Texas, law office of Texas domestic violence defense attorney Bill Baskette, I work immediately with the injured person or party who filed a complaint in order to dismiss the charges. In my more than 24 years of legal experience, including 9 years on the bench as a judge, I’ve seen how the circumstances surrounding a domestic disturbance can be ignored by prosecutors who simply want to charge someone or get a conviction. Don’t let the police or authorities dictate terms to you – be prepared with legal representation to explore alternatives to arrest and conviction.

Be Prepared with Alternatives

Oftentimes, the spouses or parties involved in a domestic disturbance want to reconcile but are prevented from doing so by legal action taken against one of the people involved. As your attorney, I recommend anger management and counseling programs as alternatives to conviction and sentencing. Working closely with the court, I negotiate for reduced charges and their dismissal.

Taking a Case to Court

When it’s necessary to take a case to court, I’m prepared to establish the facts involved in the case to learn why the police got involved in the first place. In many instances, a spouse or partner may allege an attack has taken place in order to have the police remove someone from the premises. As your domestic violence lawyer, I meticulously review the police report, contact the other party, and establish facts that paint a different picture than the one provided by the police.
