DUI Defending Your Rights, Upholding Your Freedom - No Compromises, No Exceptions.

Experienced DUI Lawyer in Orlando, FL

Reliable Criminal Defense Representation in Orange County

If you are arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs in Florida, you may be facing a misdemeanor or felony charge, depending on the circumstances.

If your DUI resulted in only property damage, such as in the case of another vehicle, you will probably be facing a misdemeanor charge.

If your DUI violation resulted in serious bodily injury to another, you may be facing a felony charge. If another died as a result of your drunk driving, you face a DUI manslaughter charge.

The penalties you face for a first DUI conviction include:

Fines of up to $500
Community service work of up to 50 hours
Probation for up to one year
Loss of your driver’s license for up to 180 days
12 hours of DUI school

Jail time is another risk: up to 6 months for a first time DUI and up to 9 months if you were driving with a minor in your vehicle. Subsequent convictions will result in even harsher penalties. DUI cases can be complicated, involving legal and scientific sobriety tests, all of which need to be investigated and addressed by an attorney who is familiar with handling all of these factors. Mazin Law is here to help.

"I highly recommend Mr. Mazin, he definitely is top notch and of the very best."
Great attorney. In search of an attorney we had came across Mr. Mazin. We reached out after reading reviews, as most of us do, and he immediately took my phone call. We were in a desperate situation and needed an attorney almost immediately. Not only did he review the case while on the phone with me, but made sure to even reach out to others who were involved within the case. We hadn't signed a contract or made a payment and he had done more for us than several other attorneys that we had spoken with. I explained the details in reference to the case and he asked that I send him anything that he could review and give his legal expertise. I was utterly shocked. He's extremely polite, diligent, and more so he's worth every dollar. He let's you know from the get go, that when you invest into him, he makes you family. He treats your case as if he were going through it himself or a close relative. He advised our family and educated us on how these upcoming court proceedings would happen, and made sure to let us know that he would work with us in any way possible.
