Representing the Wrongly Accused for Using Self-Defense

Self-defense is a type of criminal case defense that seeks to excuse the defendant's violent acts because the use of force was necessary for protection. This includes both injuring and killing someone in self-defense. Legally a person has a right to protect themselves if they believe they are in danger of being harmed and they use no more force than is necessary for protection.
