I have had the good fortune to observe Mayo at work. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, dedicated, hardworking and caring attorney and litigator, not only in the area of criminal law, but in civil rights matters as well. Mayo makes himself available to his clients and colleagues as needed and to members in the community who request or require his assistance and varied expertise. If someone close to me needed a criminal lawyer, Mayo is the first person I would call. I heartily endorse this lawyer.
