Accused of a Crime While Defending Yourself? Protect Your Rights with an Experienced Self-Defense Lawyer.

In Florida, the law recognizes your right to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property from harm. Self-defense is a legal justification for using force, including deadly force, when you reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent imminent harm. However, claiming self-defense can be complex.
