Experienced Criminal Defense
For a free consultation contact Kernan & Clark, P.C.

Our firm provides skilled legal defense to individuals facing the following domestic violence charges:

  • Assault and bodily injury of a family member

  • Aggravated assault

  • Terrorist threats

  • Interfering with a 911 call

  • Violation of a restraining order or protective order

As former Assistant Criminal District Attorneys and family violence prosecutors, attorneys Bradley L. Clark and Deborah A. Kernan are intimately familiar with the procedures of the DA's office as well as the dynamics of family violence cases.

Our attorneys have over 30 years combined experience in criminal law and are extremely familiar with the criminal justice systems throughout the Fort Worth area, Parker County, and Wise County. We have taken a wealth of criminal cases to trial and have successfully represented clients in even the most complex criminal law matters.

It is critically important to understand that there are significant collateral consequences associated with these charges. If you accept probation, rather than fighting a domestic violence charge, and are accused a second time, you could be charged with a felony offense. A domestic violence conviction can also affect your ability to own a handgun as well as the outcome of family law matters, such as a divorce or child custody dispute.

For committed advocacy and attentive legal guidance in your family violence case, contact us today. We will listen to your side of the story in a free initial consultation, discuss your individual goals and concerns, and work diligently on your behalf to ensure your rights and interests are promoted at every stage of the legal proceedings.
