Goes above and beyond!!!!
Let me start off by saying that Travis Mydock is an exceptional lawyer that was able to give me peace of mind throughout the whole trial process. I was arrested for a DUI in ST. Johns County and I live in Seminole County. Travis took my case and handled everything for me since I live so far away. He ...

Excellent attorney
When I had the public defender, the state attorney wanted to send me to prison for two years. After hiring Mr. Mydock, the prosecutor decided to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor and offer me time served just before trial. I am so thankful that Mr. Mydock took on my felony case.
