Max Mizejewski

Max Mizejewski grew up in Los Angeles then received his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1993. After graduation he scored in the 99.8th percentile on the Law School Admission Test and went on to graduate from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College with a focus in Environmental Law. Mr. Mizejewski worked for Oregon Department of Transportation for 10 years, eventually in the role of Region 1 Environmental Manager in Portland where he gained valuable experience negotiating, problem solving and working through confrontational issues with emotionally charged individuals. In 2009 Mr. Mizejewski started a private law practice to pursue courtroom advocacy, with the simple goal of providing the accused high-level professional legal representation. Since 2009, MJM Law Office, PC has grown into a premier Eugene, Oregon law firm representing clients statewide who are accused of DUI, traffic crimes, drug crimes, assaults and other misdemeanors and felonies. Mr. Mizejewski chose this practice area out of personal interest and as an important window into the government’s police power in our society. While the vast majority of criminal cases resolve with a plea deal, Mr. Mizejewski has shown success in many Municipal and Circuit Court jury trials, particularly cases involving forensic science and toxicology such as DUI controlled substances (including marijuana, prescription drugs and recreational drugs). In January of 2019, Mr. Mizejewski served as co-counsel on a manslaughter / DUI jury trial and secured a 12-0 Not Guilty verdict after several months of pre-trial hearings and two weeks of presentation to a jury. Through clear presentation of scientific evidence and deconstruction of the police investigation, Mr. Mizejewski and his team won freedom for the client. Presentation to the jury included use of expert and clinical medical witnesses to educate the jury on how our theory of defense made the most sense when reviewing accident reconstruction data, airbag control module data, bio-mechanics, DNA evidence, neurology and other medical conditions.
