Client was charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon after using a knife to defend himself during an unprovoked attack by his roommate. He did not initiate the confrontation and acted solely in self-defense. After reviewing the Stand Your Ground law with the prosecutor and explaining its clear application to the facts, the State agreed and dropped all charges without the need for a hearing. As a result, Client avoided a felony conviction, kept his employment at Disney, and is now eligible to have the case expunged from his record—restoring his future and his peace of mind.
