Facing Stand Your Ground Charges in Miami or Broward County? Beaton Law Firm Can Help You Assert Your Rights

Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law offers strong legal protection for those who use force to defend themselves. But asserting this defense in court is not automatic—it requires a skilled criminal defense attorney to navigate complex legal terrain.

What Is Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law?

Under Florida Statutes § 776.013, you have no duty to retreat and may use deadly force if you reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent death, serious injury, or a forcible felony. This law applies in your home, vehicle, or any place where you have a legal right to be.

Despite the law, you may still face criminal charges such as:

• Aggravated assault

• Manslaughter

• Attempted murder

• Homicide
