About

I started my own law firm in September 2015 after working for seven years as an attorney for Southern Oregon Public Defender in Jackson County.  As a public defender, I handled thousands of cases from Murder to Disorderly Conduct and everything in between.  I have earned a reputation with my clients, the court, prosecutors, my colleagues, and law enforcement as a dedicated attorney who is always willing to stand up for my clients.Before joining Southern Oregon Public Defender, I worked for two years as a personal injury attorney for Dwyer Williams Potter in Bend, Oregon.  In addition to working as an attorney, I have flipped burgers at McDonalds, operated ski lifts at Mt. Bachelor, sorted mail for the post office, and installed sprinkler systems and landscaping.I am originally from Washington, DC; I live with my wife and daughters in Medford.About my last name: it is pronounced “mĭ·shôn” or “mih-shawn.”  The name is Flemish, which means that it originates from Flanders – the Northern part of Belgium.

Chris represented me in a recent DUII case which we took all the way to a jury trial. Because of Chris's knowledge of the law, his experience in the courtroom, and his due diligence, the jury came back with a NOT GUILTY VERDICT, and I was acquitted of DUII. When I had questions, he listened & answered them with sincere honesty. I always felt like we were a "team", working together to win my case. I recommend Chris very highly if you need an attorney to fight your case.

My attorney, Chris did a great job representing me during my trial. He listened to the testimonies of my now ex-wife and her sister and exploited their inconsistencies. He definately knew what he was doing and I would definately recommend him. He also warned me of the risks involved in going to trial, but prevailed with a full acquittal. I am honored to be able to do this review for him.

Mr Missiaen is a very knowledgeable and forthcoming attorney. He helped on multiple occasions and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He's very professional and courteous, along with being very personable. I greatly appreciate his efforts and can't say enough positive things about his law practice.

I hired Chris to defend me on multiple felony marijuana charges i received in Lake County (Lakeview, OR). Not only is Chris knowledgeable, honest, hard working, credible, prompt, attentive, fair, and detail oriented, he knows what your constitutional rights are as an Oregonian and will fight for them on your behalf. If the cops did not do their job to the letter of the law Chris will catch it and call them on it. 6 felony marijuana charges GONE, need I say more? He arranged as many hearings as he could over the phone saving me both time and money in travel. If I could give Chris 100 stars I would. You will not find a better criminal defense attorney. And finally, my two cents, if you are in the marijuana industry in Oregon have a good attorney on retainer. Peace of mind is worth every penny.

Chirs has been great through my whole experience, he acted with professionalism and convictions. He also provides a level of confidence through his knowledge of the judicial environment and puts you at ease through the process. It's never easy to go through legal situations and it can be hard to find a genuine lawyer who has a good human way about them while also being an expert at his or her craft, you will most certainly find that In Chris.

Mr. Missiaen is the embodiment of integrity and honesty. He carefully communicated the risks and benefits of various decisions in my case. He was quite realistic if not conservative in his expectations of my case, so I was quite pleased when all of my charges were dismissed. He was honest with me about possible outcomes while working towards the best possible outcome. Mr. Missiaen will go above and beyond to protect your good name and solve other issues regarding your case; for instance, he quickly was able to get a publication to retract false information regarding the case. The article was retracted in mere hours. Moreover, I was charged with a new crime and he quickly was able to get the warrant withdrawn and keep me out of jail. Thankfully, all the charges included the new charge had the best possible outcome: dismissal.

Mr Missiaen provided professional, thorough, and honest counsel. All communications were prompt, providing the feeling of control over my legal affairs. All decisions met or exceeded expectations.
