About Ayodele Mayowa
Ayodele Mayowa Ojo trained in Nigeria before adding an American law degree. He earned an LL.B. from Obafemi Awolowo University in 1992 and completed the Nigerian Law School, entering practice as a prosecutor in 1993. A decade later he received a J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law in 2004 after moving his practice to Minnesota.
His early career unfolded in Nigeria. He served as a prosecutor for the Kebbi State Ministry of Justice in 1993. The following year he joined Ogunbanjo Olorunminbe & Co as a civil trial lawyer, handling courtroom matters typical of a busy litigation shop. Those years gave him front-line courtroom experience and exposure to procedural and substantive Nigerian law.
After relocating to the United States, he began working in Minnesota. In 2004 he joined Lawson Watts and Associates, P.A. in St. Paul as a lawyer. Two years later he opened his own practice. In 2006 he established Ayodele M. Ojo and Associates in St. Paul and subsequently has operated under the name Ojo Law Office. His practice history spans public prosecution, civil trials in Nigeria, and private practice in Minnesota.
Licensing and professional membership reflect that trajectory. He holds a license from the Supreme Court of Nigeria and a Minnesota license recognized by the Minnesota Supreme Court. He has been a member of the Nigerian Bar Association since 1993. That combination of credentials allows him to work on matters that touch both Nigerian and Minnesota legal contexts, particularly where questions of comparative procedure or cross-border documentation arise.
Colleagues describe him as steady in court and meticulous with filings. He has handled a range of civil litigation and prosecutorial matters. His experience in two legal systems shapes how he evaluates evidence, structures claims, and prepares clients for hearings in both jurisdictions.
He continues to maintain an office in St. Paul, where he handles client work through Ojo Law Office. His current practice focuses on civil litigation and matters that require knowledge of both Nigerian and Minnesota legal procedures.
