Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years

Michael P. Maddux, P.A. achieved a victory for a client wrongfully charged with battery by uncovering the truth behind the incident. OurTeam 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 actually acting in self-defense and was the true victim, we successfully dismantled the prosecution’s case. As a result, all charges were dismissed, protecting our client’s record and reaffirming her right to defend herself in her own home.
