Criminal Defense & Self-Defense Dismissal

Scott Cummins secured the dismissal of felony aggravated assault charges against a man accused of stabbing another individual, after a thorough independent investigation and direct negotiations with the prosecutor established that the client had acted in self-defense.

Rather than waiting for the case to go to trial, Scott built the self-defense argument from the ground up and took it directly to the prosecutor. The State agreed and dismissed all charges.

For a client who had acted to protect himself and then faced felony prosecution for doing so, the dismissal was the just outcome he deserved.
