Expert guidance, tailored for you.

Domestic Abuse & Assault

When facing drug crime charges, the stakes are incredibly high. Whether you're accused of possession, distribution, or trafficking, having a seasoned attorney on your side is crucial. At the Law Offices of John S. Cossum, we work tirelessly to protect your rights, challenge the prosecution's evidence, and seek the best possible outcome. Our role is to navigate the complexities of the legal system on your behalf, scrutinize law enforcement procedures for any errors, and build a defense tailored to your unique situation.

01

Threats of Violence

Even threats of harm can lead to domestic abuse charges. We challenge the prosecution’s ability to prove the validity of these threats, whether spoken, written, or electronic, and seek to have the charges reduced or dismissed.

02

Aggravated Assault

A more serious charge, aggravated assault can involve the use of a weapon or cause serious injury. We will challenge the evidence, question the credibility of witnesses, and explore any violations of your rights during the investigation.

03

Domestic Violence

Allegations of physical harm or threats within a household or intimate relationship are taken seriously in Texas. We focus on defending you against these charges by investigating the details and motivations behind the accusations, including potential false claims.

04

Violating a Protective Order

If you are accused of violating a protective order, this could escalate the severity of your case. We’ll investigate the circumstances of the alleged violation and explore every legal option to minimize the consequences.

05

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

This involves accusations of intentionally causing physical harm to another person. We look closely at the events leading to the incident to uncover possible defenses, such as self-defense or lack of intent.

06

Domestic Battery



Even unwanted or offensive physical contact can lead to domestic battery charges. We challenge the prosecution’s ability to prove the intent behind the contact, whether minor or accidental, and work to have the charges reduced or dismissed.
