Battery charges dismissed under Florida’s self defense laws show how the right evidence can change a case entirely. Michael P. Maddux, P.A. achieved a victory for a client wrongfully charged with battery by uncovering the truth behind the incident.

How We Proved Self Defense in This Case

Our team presented clear evidence that the alleged victim showed up uninvited to our client’s home, refused to leave when asked, and then became the aggressor by attacking our client. By demonstrating that our client was acting in self defense and was the true victim, we successfully dismantled the prosecution’s case.

As a result, the court dismissed all charges. This protected our client’s record and reaffirmed her right to defend herself in her own home. If you were wrongfully charged and believe self defense applies to your case, our office can help.
