Lance Mixon’s practice is heavily focused on DUI defense and the defense of other serious misdemeanor and felony crimes. He has represented clients in cases across Mississippi in numerous municipal, justice, county, and circuit courts, as well as the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, spanning over seventy (70) counties during the course of over a decade and a half in practice.

An active member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), Lance is also a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) and serves the NCDD as the State Delegate of Mississippi. He has been selected as a “Rising Star” for

the Mid-South region in the area of Criminal Defense by The Super Lawyers magazine beginning in 2011. He was included as a member of the Mississippi Business Journal’s “Leaders in Law” class of 2015. In addition to this publication, Lance is a co-author of Thomson Reuters’ Mississippi Criminal Trial Practice Forms, Aspatore’s Inside the Minds: Understanding DUI Scientific Evidence, 2010 Edition, and Inside the Minds: Witness Preparation and Examination for DUI Proceedings, 2015 Edition. He is a 2002 cum laude graduate of Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology, and subsequently earned his Juris Doctor degree from Mississippi College School of Law. Lance appreciates and respects the trial preparation as much as the trial itself, and a big part of that involves heavy research into case law and other authoritative sources in the quest to maximize the results for each client. No two cases are ever exactly alike, and each case that Lance accepts for representation receives a complete and intensive review to determine the most effective strategies for the most successful results.
