The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm is not a general criminal defense firm. We represent clients charged with a wide range of offenses — but only when the case involves a claim of self-defense of a justified use of force.
If you used force to protect yourself, your family, or another person, and you are now facing criminal charges, this is exactly what we do. We have been doing it since 1997.
Self-Defense Cases We Handle
Homicide/Murder
Being charged with homicide after a self-defense or defense of others incident is more common than most people realize. We represent clients facing first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter charges when the case involves a claim of justified use of deadly force.
Assault
Various forms of assault charges frequently arise from use of force incidents, particularly when a weapon is involved. We represent clients who acted to protect themselves or others and are now facing assault charges.
Domestic Violence
In a domestic violence incident, self-defense or the justified use of force may occur. We represent clients who defended themselves in domestic situations and are now facing charges that may carry serious collateral consequences.
Brandishing / Display
Displaying a firearm in self-defense or defense of others — even without firing — can result in criminal charges. We represent clients charged with brandishing, threatening, or menacing when the circumstances involved a legitimate defense situation.
Disorderly Conduct
Charged with disorderly conduct after defending yourself or someone else? The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm handles self-defense use of force cases exclusively. Representing clients nationwide.
Defenses We Argue
Defense of Property
The law draws important distinctions between the force permitted to protect a person and the force permitted to protect property. We represent clients facing charges that arose from a defense of property situation.
Defense of a Third Party
The legal standards for defending a third party are similar to defending yourself. We represent clients who intervened to protect another person and now face criminal charges as a result.
