Hiring Jeff Kennedy turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Mr. Kennedy was able to have my case dismissed. Yes, outright dismissal of the charge!
We did exactly as Jeff instructed and the case was dismissed. There are no words to explain how happy we are with his performance.
Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car.

People can be falsely accused of a crime for a variety of reasons, and sometimes a person is charged with a crime based solely on one person’s statements.
Sometimes a witness may give inaccurate information based on what they think they saw. If this happens, the person may not be in any trouble. If, however, someone knowingly provides false information for any reason, this is a crime.
Take, for instance, a woman who accuses her husband of domestic assault and then files a police report stating that her husband assaulted her. Say she makes this accusation to get back at her husband out of anger.
What happens to her if it’s proven that she made a false accusation? The husband may rightly wonder, “Can you go to jail for false accusations or for filing a false police report?”
When you make a false accusation, someone’s life can be greatly harmed. Lying to the police for any reason is a crime under Texas law. That means you can be punished for it.
For instance, making a false report is a Class B misdemeanor.
Some other crimes that involve false statements are:
Can you go to jail for false accusations? Yes, you can. People can be held legally responsible for the false information they give to police.
If you’ve provided false information and you’re worried about getting into trouble, or if someone has given false information about you, you should contact a lawyer. The Law Offices of Jeff C. Kennedy can be reached at 817-605-1010. You may also reach us through the online contact form below.
