Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

If a person that got charged aggravated battery firearm/ domestic violence and there was no intent to hurt whatsoever but there was a gun that was drawn in regards to one protecting themselves in their own home, and the gun is registered to the person that drew it. And the person drew the firearm was under influence of alcohol and has a disabled persons history(that involves great pain of herniated disks) and lastly the person that the firearm was allegedly drawn for was a daughter that had no intent of harm towards the person, which in this case is between a mother and a daughter, (the mother is 62years of age, disabled, has a mental health history, which is the person that the charges are on, what would you suggest is the best defensive strategy? Outside of getting the witnesses full truthful account, studying the statutes of each charge, and diluting the charges by way of proving the nature was nonviolent,(adding that the person who is charged is not registered as a criminal in accordance to Florida database) but was under influence and argued with the daughter for startling her. (yet the police asked kids if the grandmother had pulled the firearm and they said yes) what would you suggest?/ thankyou sir/maam

The greatest suggestion that any attorney can give you is to stop trying to represent yourself by going on this format and asking for a complex answer to a complex question. You need to talk to your attorney about these questions. If you do not have one then I strongly suggest you get one. These are very serious charges as I'm sure you know and you are facing a long prison sentence. If you do not have counsel, feel free to give me a call at my number and website below.
