The police definition of an investigation is that they show up on the scene. They talk to somebody, that person says something and then based upon that statement and that statement alone. Then the client is charged. One of the many benefits of getting a skilled assault lawyer in criminal law. Is the attorney will sit down with the client and listen to their version of the events that led to the arrest. Typically get an investigator involved to help with the case, speak to witnesses, go to the scene, gather any pictures, videos, phone logs that may help with the defense and potentially contradict or cast doubt on the version of events according to the alleged victim.
Many times during the investigation. The alleged victim will decide that they no longer want to move forward on filing the case. In the state of Texas, however, especially with domestic assault cases. The state will typically continue moving forward investigating the Lubbock assault case. Even after the alleged victim no longer wants to pursue it. In these types of situations, the attorney will visit with the alleged victim and get statements and affidavits. This is why it is important to retain a lawyer as quickly as possible. Especially if you are in a Lubbock assault investigation process.
