Q: Can a victim of an aggravated assault be arrested for further defending herself against her attacker
Wouldn't it be considered self defense if my attacker had been charged with aggravated assault against me with a special condition of no contact to being released on a 10 yr probation plea.
A:
The answer is, it depends. More information is needed before an accurate answer can be provided. It is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.

A: That would depend on the individual facts of the incident.
A:
The answer is that it depends on the actual facts of the case.
That being said, the fact that you were a prior victim to the aggressor who was prohibited from having contact with you may strengthen your self defense argument if you are actually criminally charged in the case.
Please feel free to call me on my cell phone at 404-932-3099 to discuss further if you are actually criminally charged and need a defense attorney. Sincerely,
