Protecting children

He has made remarkable efforts to keep children safe from the sex offenders, such as writing legislations implementing restrictions in residency for sex offenders, and installation of monitoring software on the computers of sex offenders that have been registered. A top accomplishment of him has been establishing a website which has maps showing neighborhood heroin arrests for increased public awareness, and mandating police alerts in school districts whenever there is a nearby arrest.

Tragedy in personal life

For him, personal became the political, as becoming a law practitioner was the only way he could support his family in times of financial ruin, as well as support others with their pain.  Mejias feels for his clients, and that shows in the strategic, creative, and pragmatic spirit that he fights their legal battles with.
