We thoroughly investigate whether you were defending yourself from imminent harm, examining factors outlined in Indiana Code 35-41-3-2 (Indiana’s self-defense statute).

Battery requires “knowing” or “intentional” contact. We challenge cases where the contact was accidental or there was no intent to cause harm.
The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We examine witness credibility, physical evidence inconsistencies, police investigation procedures, and medical evidence accuracy.
We investigate motive for false accusations, inconsistencies in accuser’s statements, alibi evidence, and character evidence.
