How Hiring Wyde & Associates Early Can Help Get an Assault Family Violence Case Dismissed
If you or a loved one is facing Assault Family Violence charges in Texas, the timing of hiring an attorney can make all the difference. At Wyde & Associates, we have successfully helped clients avoid charges or get their case dismissed by acting quickly—either before charges are filed or immediately after an arrest.
1. Preventing an Arrest Before Charges Are Filed
If law enforcement is investigating you for Assault Family Violence but charges have not yet been filed, hiring our firm immediately gives you the best chance to:
✅ Prevent Charges from Being Filed: We can present exculpatory evidence to law enforcement or the prosecutor before they move forward with the case. If we can show that the case is weak or the alleged victim does not want to prosecute, we may be able to stop the case before it starts.
✅ Challenge an Arrest Warrant: If an arrest warrant is issued, we may be able to negotiate a walk-through bond or prevent you from being arrested altogether.
✅ Secure an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution (ANP) Early: If the alleged victim does not want to press charges, we can help them draft and submit an ANP before formal charges are filed, showing the prosecution that they do not wish to move forward.
2. Acting Fast After an Arrest to Get Charges Dropped
If you’ve already been arrested, hiring Wyde & Associates immediately can still significantly improve your chances of getting the case dismissed.
🔹 We Can Obtain an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution (ANP)
• Many Assault Family Violence cases begin when an alleged victim calls 911 in the heat of the moment but later decides they do not want to press charges.
• Even if they tell the police they don’t want to prosecute, the state can still pursue charges.
• We can help the alleged victim submit an official Affidavit of Non-Prosecution in a way that aligns with Texas law, increasing the chances of dismissal.
🔹 We Can Negotiate with the Prosecutor Early
• Before charges are formally filed, we can argue for a no-bill (where the case is dismissed at the grand jury stage) or a declination of prosecution.
• If charges have already been filed, we can push for a dismissal based on lack of evidence or insufficient probable cause.
🔹 We Can Protect Your Criminal Record
• Assault Family Violence charges cannot be expunged or sealed if they result in a conviction.
• If we get the case dismissed early, you may qualify for expunction, erasing the charge from your record permanently.
