Few accusations are more damaging than being charged with felony family violence. The moment you are accused, your life can change instantly – relationships become strained, your reputation is at risk, and law enforcement treats you as guilty before you’ve had the chance to defend yourself. These cases are prosecuted aggressively in Texas, and without the right legal representation, you could be facing years in prison, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record.
The earlier you involve a felony family violence attorney, the stronger your defense can be. At M|C Criminal Law, we understand the complexities of these cases and how easily misunderstandings, false accusations, or exaggerated claims can lead to life-altering charges. As former prosecutors, we know how the state builds its case, and we use that knowledge to fight for our clients.
Our firm is dedicated to protecting your rights, challenging weak evidence, and advocating for your best interests at every stage of the legal process. Do not wait to see how things unfold – take action now. Contact us today to discuss your case and start building your defense.

Messina Madson is the greatest!! She not only knows the law in and out, but truly cares for her clients. Messina was up front and honest about everything happening throughout my case. I spoke to Messina for the first time while I was in jail and thought I had zero chance of getting out on
My loved one had a very serious charge, and I wanted to do everything I could to make sure he got the best outcome possible. After almost a year, the plea deal stayed the same, and I was frustrated. Also getting his bond reduced was denied over and over. Someone I work with told me
When I first learned I needed a defense lawyer for some very serious charges I was lost and scared, and feared the worst. I saw my life spinning out of control with the possibility of losing everything and even jail. I had never needed a lawyer and didn’t know who to turn to. Kendall Castello
