And your question is?

IF this is in SoCal courts, and he's serious about hiring an attorney to defend him, have him contact me.

You neglected to tell us which county this case is going to be in. You will likely want a lawyer reasonably close to the court at issue. I see Deirdre O'Connor responded. If you are down her way, I have a good opinion of her legal abilities from prior contacts.

If however, you are in Nor Cal, I have been doing criminal defense work for over thirty years and do the most serious kinds of felony cases, including murder, drive by shootings, weapons cases, and hand to hand fights. You can call me for a free consultation if you wish. To see my background and some sample case results, you can see my website at:

Sounds like there are some decent self-defense facts. In a case like this, it is important to do a thorough investigation as soon as possible. If the case is in LA County, let me know. Email or call for a free consultation. I might be able to help.
