aggravated assault with a deadly weapon case rejected

Results: Self Defense Shooting – Case Rejected

Our client was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a self-defense incident. During a threatening confrontation, the client was cornered and knocked to the ground by an assailant. In a bid to protect himself, the client used his concealed pistol to shoot the attacker.

Despite the circumstances indicating self-defense, law enforcement proceeded with the arrest.

Outcome

After thorough consultation with our client and a detailed investigation, we engaged in strategic discussions with the district attorney’s office.

Our comprehensive approach highlighted the self-defense nature of the incident, leading to a successful resolution. Ultimately, the district attorney’s office decided to reject the case for prosecution, resulting in a dismissal of all charges against our client.

This case underscores our commitment to defending clients facing serious accusations. Through meticulous investigation and advocacy, we strive to ensure justice is served, protecting the rights of individuals in complex legal situations.
