We mentioned earlier that it is critical to not speak with detectives or investigators without your attorney present, but that leaves out the most important part: hiring an experienced attorney. Your attorney will help guide you through the legal process, but more importantly they will help you understand the best defense available to you. This might mean they discuss a strategy of defense utilizing:
- Self-defense
- Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law
- Suppression of evidence
- Supervening circumstances
- And more.
