About Cesar Mejia

Cesar Mejia Duenas built his legal foundation in Honduras before expanding his training in the United States. He earned an LL.B. from Universidad Tecnológica de Honduras in 2010. He later returned to graduate study in the U.S., completing an LL.M. at Brooklyn Law School in 2017. At the University of Miami School of Law he added an LL.M. in International Arbitration in 2018 and a J.D. in 2019.

Those academic choices shaped a practice that crosses borders. The international arbitration degree is reflected in his continuing involvement with arbitration organizations. His United States legal education and multiple bar admissions also position him to work on cross-jurisdictional matters. The sequence of degrees suggests a lawyer who has moved from a national training ground to an international practice lens.

Mejia Duenas holds admissions in several jurisdictions: Florida, New Jersey, California, New York, the District of Columbia and Honduras. That list spans state and international licensing and allows him to take on matters in different forums. He has combined those credentials with memberships in professional groups that align with both arbitration and immigration work.

In 2021 he founded CMD Lawyers. He established the firm as a vehicle for handling disputes and transactional matters that straddle national boundaries. Since launching the firm he has been active in arbitration circles and in association work that connects him with estate planning and immigration practitioners.

His professional memberships include the Miami International Arbitration Society and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. He also holds membership in the Coral Gables Estate Planning Council and, more recently, the Beverly Hills Bar Association. These affiliations reflect a practice that touches arbitration, immigration, and estate planning rather than a narrow specialization.

Colleagues describe his work as oriented toward resolving complex procedural and jurisdictional problems. He often appears on matters that require coordination across different legal systems. The combination of an LL.B., two LL.M. degrees and a J.D. gives him a technical and comparative perspective that clients encounter in multi-jurisdictional disputes and transactional work.

Mejia Duenas maintains his practice through CMD Lawyers and continues to accept matters that involve international arbitration, immigration-related issues and cross-border legal questions.
