Case Study

The client, the owner of a roofing company, was driving his daughter to elementary school when a loud and obnoxious driver tailgated him in the school zone.  He got out of the car and asked the other driver to cool off. Instead, the other driver cursed out the client loud enough for his daughter to hear it in the car several feet away.  The client punched the abusive driver in the face, knocking him unconscious.  The client was charged with assault.  Venue:  Montgomery County, Texas.
