Meet Christopher Missiaen

Experienced, Dedicated Attorney Who Always Stands Up For His Clients

I have worked as a criminal defense attorney in Jackson County since 2007. I founded my own law firm in 2015 after working for seven years as an attorney at Southern Oregon Public Defender.

As a criminal defense attorney, I have handled thousands of criminal cases. I have represented clients on charges of Murder, DUI, Disorderly Conduct, and everything in-between and have taken approximately 75 criminal cases to a jury trial.

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.

Lake County Oregon Marijuana Interdiction

Oregon citizens voted to legalize the cultivation, possession, sale, and use of marijuana for recreational purposes in 2014. Oregon voters had already approved the cultivation, possession, and use of marijuana for medical purposes in 1998. The Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon is a very productive area to cultivate marijuana and hemp. The amount of cannabis grown in the Rogue Valley increased significantly with the legalization of medical marijuana in 1998 and recreational marijuana in 2014.

Case Results

Not Guilty: My client was contacted by law enforcement after leaving a bar. She performed poorly on the roadside tests, but blew under the legal limit. Nevertheless, the state decided to proceed with the prosecution. At trial, I questioned the validity of the roadside tests and established that the police officer had a selective memory of events. The jury found my client not guilty of DUI.

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..

Attorney Missiaen undertook my case and represented me in court. His no nonsense approach not only obtained the best possible outcome, but also allowed me to feel confident I was in good hands and not to worry.

Chris was a huge help in my recent case. Even with my lengthy past record, Chris negotiated a plea deal with the district attorney which was very much in my favor and avoiding any jail time. It’s hard to find a good honest attorney these days and Chris is one of very few left.
