In mid-2014, I made a horrible decision to drink and drive. I ran a red light and crashed my car into another vehicle carrying an elderly woman. Both her and I escaped with no injuries, something which I am immeasurably thankful for, but I knew in the aftermath that without a fast and competent response, I could easily end up in jail. Both cars were totaled, and I was booked as blowing a .2% BAC. Max was recommended to me by a couple friends/co-workers as being personable and capable, so I took their word for it and gave him a call. He did not judge me for what I had done, which I really appreciated, and we quickly worked out an approach that was suited to my situation. When it came time for court, Max was great about meeting up with me before my appearances, to make sure everything was in order and that i was comfortable with how things were preceding. I was quite worried, and with good reason. I ended up being charged with 3 criminal counts, and 3 traffic violations....I really expected I would spend time in jail. How he did it....I honestly have no idea, but Max managed to get me into diversion (removing the DUI), and to get the other 2 criminal counts dropped, in addition to 1 of the traffic violations. I cannot describe the feeling of relief I had leaving court that day, after many months of agonizing over whether or not I would end up with a record, or even losing my job. None of this would have been possible without Max's experience and specific attention to my case, I highly recommend him to anyone who lands themselves in a situation similar to mine. Thank you, Max -G

I had received a DUII citation in the spring of '14. This being my potential third in 10 years I was facing a possible lifetime revocation of my ODL as well as at least a month jail time and multiple thousands in fines. Max took a look at my case and first fought the DMV and was able to get my lifetime revocation dropped to a one year suspension based on the way I was wrongly stopped. Max then proceeded to negotiate with the DA and through a thorough knowledge of the legal system and a keen eye for details was able to get me through this process with only 10 days road crew and the minimum allowed $1k fine. Max's representation of my case far and away exceeded my expectations. My life would have been significantly altered should this not gone the way it did.

Woke up this Christmas morning, thinking about who I could talk to about hiring an estate attorney to write up my will...I’m going to call Max. From start to finish of my case in 2015, I was in good hands. I only had to go to court once, and the judge said to me at sentencing, “I don’t know if you hired the right attorney, or what happened, but consider yourself lucky.” Good show Max!! Thanks for helping me get on with my life, as painlessly and efficiently as possible!

In the Eugene area I don’t believe there is a better defense lawyer, especially against DUI. I made the poor decision of drinking and drinking. I received a DUI, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment. Mr. Mizejewski worked very hard to get both reckless charges down to a careless and he was able to get me on diversion program. Keep in mind it was recorded that my BAC was a .189%. No lawyer will respectfully represent and defend you like Mr. Mizejewski.

Max was on point! He was fast to reply, easy to talk to, answered any questions, and took care of everything in a very efficient manner. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. He was able to get two of the three convictions dismissed, and now I can get my life back on track! I would highly recommend him to anyone. I plan on never needing another criminal justice attorney again, but if I do, I know who to call for the best results! Thanks Max!

I am very thankful that I had found the right attorney to represent my case. Max Mizejewski at MJM Law Office is smart, professional, and delivers on progress. I can tell Max cares about his clients by the way he conducts himself and negotiates. Please take my review as a very high recommendation to hire MJM Law for your needs. I am so glad I did.

Max was very effective in our case - he was able to come in and negotiate a very reasonable result in a case that got elevated unexpectedly. Straight and timely communication throughout, cared about getting the best results for the client, and was very informative about the follow-through as well. He does care about his clients, that is clear to us.

Max returned my calls right away, was always clear and compassionate with his advice, and was a reassuring and knowledgeable presence with me in court. He challenged my license suspension at a DMV hearing and was able to have the suspension revoked. Very grateful for his help in getting me into the DUII diversion program as well.

I would highly recommend working with Max through any size of ordeal you're faced with. We all encounter those times in life where we feel the weight of what we've been dealt; sometimes that results in making the worst decisions for our lives. Through my wake up call with a rough DUI, Max kept me afloat when I had hit rock bottom. He was sweet, compassionate and above all trustworthy. To work with someone as knowledgable, professional and humanizing as Max was a blessing throughout dark times.

Max is competent, straightforward, and compassionate. We had an abbreviated timeline and Max got us the results we wanted.
