Rachel Mattie has been practicing criminal defense since 2015. In law school, she was Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review and graduated in the top 10% of her class. She began her career as an Assistant Public Defender in Orlando, Florida. There, she developed a passion for aggressive litigation, trial strategy, and client satisfaction. Ms. Mattie is not only committed to achieving favorable results, but also ensuring that her clients fully understand the legal process and are actively involved in the outcome of their case. She primarily handles DUI cases, having recently been named “Orlando’s Best DUI Lawyer” and regularly teaching seminars on DUI defense.
Ms. Mattie was born in Detroit, Michigan, a city with one of the highest violent crime rates in America. This sparked an initial interest in the prosecutorial side of crime. However, in high school, she volunteered with the Duval County Teen Court Program and learned how rewarding it is to represent the accused and advocate for constitutional rights. She committed to defense work and never looked back.
In addition to her law degree, Ms. Mattie holds a bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies, with minors in Criminal Justice and Political Science from UCF. She is a published author on self-defense law and ethics.
She is a member of the Orange County Bar Association, served on the board of directors for the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL), and is a past president of the Central Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (CFACDL). She has repeatedly been named as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers magazine.
