Florida Self-Defense Case Study: Success Story

Judge-Stand-Your-Ground | Palm Beach Garden criminal defense lawyer

When facing attempted murder charges in Florida, having an experienced criminal defense attorney makes the difference. Our West Palm Beach client's case proves this - turning a potential life sentence into a sealed record through strategic defense and Stand Your Ground law expertise. 

Criminal Defense Case Details: 

In Palm Beach County, Florida, our client faced a terrifying carjacking situation. The perpetrator stole our client's vehicle and then escalated the situation by driving the stolen car directly at him. Acting in self-defense - a right protected under Florida's Stand Your Ground law - our client used his legally owned firearm to protect himself. 

Despite clear self-defense circumstances, the West Palm Beach Police Department charged our client with attempted first-degree murder, a charge carrying potential life imprisonment in Florida.
