About Mark
Mark Oxford built a career at the intersection of national security, military affairs and the law. His path began in the classroom and then moved into government and private practice. He has combined academic training and government service into a practice that touches immigration, administrative and military law.
He earned an M.A. in National Security, concentrating on counter-terrorism, from American Military University in 2009. He went on to law school at Western Michigan University, receiving his J.D. in 2012. He later returned to the same institution for an LL.M. in Homeland and National Security Law, conferred in 2015. Those credentials reflect several years of study on topics that often overlap in courtrooms and agency proceedings.
Early in his career he served as an assistant professor for the U.S. Department of Defense in 2006. That role placed him in educational work tied to military operations and policy. After completing his legal education he opened The Oxford Law Office in 2013. He later spent time at the Internal Revenue Service as a tax examiner in 2016, a role that gave him direct exposure to federal administrative processes and tax-related fact gathering.
Oxford is licensed to practice in Minnesota, California and Texas. He maintains memberships in several State Bar of Texas sections, including Administrative and Public Law, Government Lawyers, Immigration and Nationality Law, Military Law, and the General Practice, Solo, and Small Firm Section. He is also a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and holds memberships in the State Bars of Minnesota and California. Those affiliations indicate an ongoing engagement with issues that arise at the crossroads of immigration, military service and government practice.
His practice has drawn on both his academic background in national security and his experience in federal agencies. He has handled matters that involve immigration law and nationality questions, military-related legal issues, and administrative proceedings. The period he spent as a tax examiner has informed his approach to agency records and evidentiary review in administrative matters.
Colleagues describe him as someone who moves easily between technical subject matter and practical courtroom or agency tasks. He has shown an interest in public law questions that affect service members, noncitizens, and federal administrative processes. He continues to operate The Oxford Law Office and concentrates on cases that involve immigration, military law, administrative law and related federal issues in the states where he holds licenses.
