When protecting yourself leads to a criminal investigation.
Georgia law recognizes that people may lawfully defend themselves or others in certain situations. Whether self-defense applies depends on the facts what happened, where, and what each person reasonably believed at the time.
How we approach these cases
• Careful review of statements, 911 audio, body/dash video, and witness accounts
• Explaining how justification defenses work in Georgia in plain language
• Protecting your rights if you are contacted by law enforcement
Important: Do not give a detailed statement to police without counsel. Early advice can help you avoid mistakes that are hard to undo.
