Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Public Intoxication a nd resisting arrest

My husband and I were at a bar. The manager apparently didnt like what my husband said to him. They never asked us to leave or anything. Next thing we know, cops are coming in and asking my husband to leave. Then no less than 5 ft from the door of the bar the cops say they are charing him with a PI. And then 3 cops took my husband to the ground and smashed his face in the concrete, breaking his nose. I need to know what kind of attorney I should get to fight the criminal charges and what type of attorney to sue the city cops. Please let me know what you think. Anyhelp is much appreciated.

You need a criminal lawyer for the criminal charges. For the civil lawsuit, you need a civil rights attorney. Make sure to take pictures of your husband.

Based on what you have written, you will need a local criminal defense law firm to assist you with the criminal charges against your husband. As for the suing the city cops, you would need a civil rights law firm to assist you with filing a law suit. If my local law firm can assist you with either of these legal issues or any other matter, please contact my paralegal Tina ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.
