Biography
I am a FLORIDA BAR BOARD-CERTIFIED SPECIALIST AND EXPERT IN CRIMINAL TRIAL LAW. My practice is limited to criminal defense and related matters. No case is too big or too small. Every client is important to me. My office is located in Saint Augustine near I95 & County Road 210 at exit mm 329. I provide free and confidential case evaluations. Virtual or in-person consultations are available. You can reach me at most hours by phone, text, or email. See below and visit my website for more information. A large portion of my practice is DUI defense and DMV formal review hearings. I also frequently defend gun, drugs, and domestic violence / battery cases.
As a BOARD CERTIFIED CRIMINAL TRIAL LAWYER I have passed a written examination, peer and judicial review, practiced criminal law for over 5 years, completed advanced continuing legal education courses, and completed a minimum of 25 criminal trials to verdict. Overall, my experience spans more than a decade on both sides of the courtroom as a prosecutor and defense attorney in North Florida. I have handled over 3,500 cases and 45 trials to verdict from first offense DUI to homicide.
Since 2020, I have been rated "AV PREEMINENT" BY MARTINDALE-HUBBELL. This is the highest peer rating standard.

He WILL help you!!
I was arrested for DUI with a crash. The circumstances my situation were very bad. I knew I'd need an attorney and not a court appointed lawyer. I found 3 attorneys, but out of the 3, I felt most confident in Mr. Mydock. Being a former prosecutor himself, he knows the court system and those who ...

Worth his weight in gold..
