Fighting False Charges

A sad situation that we see again and again is when one parent brings false charges of child sexual abuse against the other during a divorce or child custody battle. We are on to that tactic, and we will fight hard to protect your reputation and your ability to parent your child.

We know that being falsely accused of sexual or physical abuse you did not commit can be one of the worst things you could ever face. With devastating consequences, false allegations put people at the mercy of a vindictive spouse in a divorce case or an overzealous care worker who reported a bruise to CPS. When you are facing false charges of child sexual abuse, physical abuse or neglect, take the charges seriously. Contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

Sex Offenses: Texas law is harsh on sexual offenders. In addition to a long prison stay, those convicted may face a lifelong stigma often associated with sexual crimes. The best way to avoid these consequences is to prepare a strong defense by working with Hendricks, Weathers & Jefferson, P.C.

Domestic Violence: We provide representation to people accused of domestic violence (or domestic assault). We know that allegations of domestic violence can have a huge impact on people and their families. For example, members of the military may face trouble if they are slapped with an injunction against persons. Injunctions carry with them a prohibition against having firearms, which may prevent military personnel from performing their jobs. Domestic violence cases are often associated with divorce situations and are brought by vindictive spouses.
