Orlando Stalking Defense Attorney
Understanding Stalking and the Penalties in Florida
Section 784.048 of the 2015 Florida Statutes defines stalking as the willful, malicious following, harassing, or cyberstalking of another individual. Often, criminal charges of stalking occur in conjunction with criminal charges of domestic violence—meaning that many individuals do not solely face the penalties associated with stalking.
Should you be accused of stalking alone, you will face a first-degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by:
- Up to 1 year of imprisonment
- A maximum fine of $1,000
Should you be accused of stalking an individual and making a credible threat against another person, the crime could be elevated to aggravated stalking, which is a third-degree felony punishable by imprisonment up to 5 years and a maximum fine of $5,000.

"I cannot express my gratitude enough for this man. Seriously."Lyle has helped me tremendously during my injunction case. He has assisted with not only the civil side but stepped into a very messy criminal case as well. Lyle is a fierce advocate for his clients through and through. Incredibly knowledgable, personable, and emotionally supportive during a difficult time. When no one else would listen, Lyle made sure my concerns were heard and addressed. I would trust this guy with my life. Choosing any other attorney is a mistake you will never live down.- Brooke L.

"Lyle represented a very good friend of mine and made a miracle happen, in a time where it seemed impossible."While being on 5 years probation, Lyle not only got a drug charge dropped but he also got his probation terminated, something we could have never imagined happening! My friend is back in county again on another charge and if it wasn’t for Lyle getting the probation terminated, we’d be looking at a very long prison sentence. Lyle is a 15/10, don’t look any further if you’re looking for a reliable and respectful lawyer who will make the impossible happen. TRUST ME!- Faye H.

"Thanks Lyle and Taylor!!!"I had the pleasure of hiring Mazin Law for a situation I was going through. Attorney Taylor and Lyle brought me into their family (so to speak) and represented my case until it was dismissed. The care and compassion they showed to their occupation and my case, was second to none. The firm was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had during this process. They kept me updated with any changes that occurred regarding my case, up till the moment I could breathe a sign of relief, when my case officially was dismissed. I would recommend Mazin Law to anyone, and I could not be happier with my decision to trust the staff with my well being.- Charles S.
