Family Violence Defense

Texas  Family Violence Defense Lawyers

For over 30 years, the San Antonio, Texas Law Offices of Allan R. Manka, P.C. has represented numerous clients who have been charged with family violence. Often what we see is that our clients just want the whole mess to disappear -- they wish it had never happened and that their spouse will drop the charges. A single occurrence is all that is needed for the police to become involved. Once the police are involved, restraining orders, being unable to see your loved ones or come home are all typical problems resulting from a domestic abuse or spousal assault incident. The family violence defense attorneys in our office can work with clients to get the restraining order removed and assist the family in getting back, and staying, together. To arrange for your free initial consultation, contact our office by phone at 210-807-8629.

San Antonio Family Violence Attorneys

A family violence protective order requires that actual assault type behavior took place. It does not have to be between husband and wife; it can involve a couple that is dating, family members, child abuse or households. Most protective orders are issued on an ex parte (temporary) basis by the court prior to a final order which is in effect for up to 2 years. These orders essentially eliminate any type of contact between the parties.

There are tremendous negative effects which can arise from a family violence order of protection being issued. These include custody and visitation of children, no owning of firearms and other weapons, and licensing issues. In order to prevent these adverse effects from taking place, it is important to contact an attorney to contest the case. Failing to do so can be highly detrimental to your future. Many times the prosecution's case will be suspect and we will be able to get them to drop the charges.
