Waco Domestic Violence Defense Attorney
Strategic Legal Support to Beat Domestic Violence Charges
At Law Office of Kyle C. King, our Waco domestic violence lawyer is dedicated to protecting the rights of people whose assault charges have been elevated to domestic violence, as well as those facing enhanced penalties for repeat or aggravated offenses.
Led by Attorney Kyle King, a former police officer who has witnessed firsthand the injustices people face within the criminal justice system, our team is committed to doing good and seeking justice for our clients. We are experienced in handling cases that proceed through the Waco Municipal Court, McLennan County Courthouse, and other area courts. We'll help you navigate pre-trial hearings, protective order requests, and communication with law enforcement in Waco.
Texas tends toward a stricter, formal definition & higher penalties for domestic violence than many other states across the country. If convicted, you could face severe penalties such as jail time, fines, and loss of your gun rights. Having an experienced domestic violence defense attorney on your side serves as a critical advocate when your rights, reputation, and future are at stake. With strategic guidance and skilled representation, Attorney Kyle C. King can help you address and mitigate significant legal risks, including:
- Safeguarding your criminal record
A domestic violence conviction can result in a permanent criminal record, creating lasting obstacles in employment, housing, and other opportunities. We'll work to pursue dismissals, charge reductions, or alternative resolutions designed to protect your record and preserve your long-term prospects. - Protecting your firearm rights
Texas law authorizes courts to restrict firearm possession following a domestic violence conviction. We'll evaluate the evidence, challenge the allegations, and advocate to prevent or minimize firearm-related consequences, ensuring your constitutional rights are fully protected. - Addressing protective orders and contact restrictions
Courts may issue protective orders or no-contact provisions that impact where you can live, work, or with whom you may communicate. As your attorney and legal advocate, Mr. King can contest unnecessary or overly broad restrictions and seek modifications that allow you to maintain stability in your daily life. - Preserving your interests in family law matters
Findings of domestic violence can significantly influence child custody, visitation, and divorce proceedings. We work proactively to ensure your perspective is clearly presented and your parental rights and family interests are safeguarded throughout all related legal processes.

How We Help You Navigate Your Domestic violence Charges
- Challenging the underlying allegations: Attorney Kyle King scrutinizes the evidence and the circumstances to identify weaknesses or inconsistencies (self-defense claims, lack of credible evidence, mistaken identity, etc.), with the goal of securing a dismissal, reduction, or acquittal before a conviction ever enters your record.
- Minimizing or avoiding enhanced penalties: When aggravating factors (injury, weapons, prior history, repeated incidents) are alleged, Law Office of Kyle C. King can push back, which sometimes results in lesser charges or even negotiated resolutions that avoid felonies and the harshest penalties.
- Protecting your long-term rights and freedoms: A solid defense can help prevent orders that restrict your movement, communication, or firearm rights; or at least work to modify or limit those orders so everyday life remains possible.
- Preserving your rights in related family law matters: Because a domestic violence finding can impact custody and divorce proceedings, we ensure your side of the story is heard and work to prevent unfair damage to your parental rights or family relationships.
- Maintaining your reputation and future prospects: By avoiding a conviction or minimizing charges, an effective defense helps prevent the long-term collateral consequences associated with a criminal record (job loss, housing issues, reputation harm, etc.).
