Q:     What exactly is the stand your ground law and will that stand up in court?  Something happened at our residence and I had to defend myself because I didn’t know what she was going to do. She was belligerently drunk and rushing at me with her fist clenched, so I hit her one time and walked away back into my household. The incident happened in front of my door. I really need to talk to a lawyer about everything included, it is a huge case that we are trying to get corrected.

Answered Sounds like you have a self-defense / castle doctrine / stand your ground claim. You have essentially defined it in your question. Especially in your home (the castle doctrine) but anywhere (stand your ground), if you reasonably (objectively) believe (for real in your mind’s eye) that you must use force to protect yourself from harm. There are some limitations but that’s essentially it in a nutshell.

If you were arrested then you do need to speak with an experienced Tavares area criminal defense lawyer and let a skilled professional determine whether or not s/he can piece together a legally sound presentation which comports with your proffer. If so then you may very well be immune from prosecution; if not then at least you will have built a solid defense to more fully develop, fortify and ultimately present to a jury.

I hope that this has been helpful and wish you good luck.

For more than a quarter of a century I have striven to make Michael A. Haber, P.A. a business that custom tailors its services to meet the needs of the client. This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the parties, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective. This is why I refer to Michael A.
