Self Defense
South Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney Raising Self-Defense For Clients In Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean And Salem Counties
A simple disagreement can sometimes escalate into a physical altercation. Even when death results, you are not guilty of a crime if you acted in self-defense, defense of property (in some cases), or in defense of others. While these defenses are available, they also have limitations and require a knowledgeable attorney to ensure they are properly raised.
As a prosecutor, I litigated many cases, whether they were aggravated assaults or criminal homicide, that involved the potential defense of self-defense. I am familiar with the specific statutory language and how it relates to the facts of each independent criminal case.
