Mayfield is a liar. He does not represent military members against military law, he is a parasite on the veterans and does falsely claims he advocates for protestors as a member of the national lawyers guild. he should be in jail himself for his continual theft of community property and civil right...

We called Mr. Mayfield for an important and urgent matter that needed immediate attention. You can tell he's an attorney who makes himself available without asking too many questions first. I was able to speak to him on first call and he spent over 20 minutes covering all the issues and possibilities...

Just very expensive and bad handling of the case. I am not a citizen and I was accused of DV. I came to know of Mr Mayfield from an immigration lawyer. In the very first meeting, when we did not have the police report or any evidence I was told straight that I will have to plead guilty and that I wil...

During his handling of my case, he was most concerned about justice and not about fees. He was extremely knowledgeable about the most arcane procedural details and local court customs and practices. He was persuasive in court. He cared.

Earlier this year, I was attacked by a woman at my gym and then accused and arrested for assault and battery. Bewildered by these events, I turned to Daniel Mayfield for assistance in fighting these charges. Through the ensuing months, Daniel counseled me every step of the way from pre-booking to p...
"I highly recommend Dan Mayfield of the law firm Carpenter and Mayfield. Mr. Mayfield is an extremely experienced criminal attorney in San Jose, California. I have know him and worked with him for at least 33 years. Dan Mayfield was my mentor when I was in law school at the University of Santa Clara. During that time, Dan Mayfield appearing on behalf of my clients in court many times. My clients were very impressed by Mr. Mayfield's legal knowledge and experience and wisdom. Dan always impressed my clients and has always impressed me. He truly cares about his clients. Mr. Mayfield has always been committed to justice, especially for the poor, the disenfranchised and disadvantaged. I highly recommend that you hire Mr. Mayfield. He has the wisdom and passion you need. Eric Alan Berg"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the opportunity to witness his work in the courtroom and have found him to be diligent and hardworking. He is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Dan Mayfield for many years. We have handled many co-defendant cases together, including a case where we represented Stanford Students who advocated divestiture of Stanford's investment portfolio in companies doing business with South Africa during Apartied. Dan is a tenacious lawyer, principled advocate and teacher. All of these wonderful qualities are what make Dan Mayfield a great and successful lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is one of a kind. He believes truly in justice for all! And practices what he preaches. He has been involved in a number of high profile cases, defending members of ethnic groups that are targeted by the authorities, as well as bolstering the right of peaceable assembly. He also has a high profile criminal practice in San Jose, and takes the time each year to assist new lawyers with the new laws passed every January. Anyone who is lucky enough to be represented by him has a skillful and zealous advocate"
"I've worked with Dan Mayfield on a couple of cases and am very impressed with his work. He is thorough and knowledgeable. He has a very client-centered approach to how he practices law, in that he keeps the client informed every step of the way with what is happening on the case, and does his best to empower the client to make his or her own decisions (an important trait in military law, where so many clients feel timid and disempowered after having been abused by the system). I highly recommend Dan Mayfield."
"Dan is an outstanding defense lawyer, and one of San Jose's most highly-regarded attorneys. His command of the law and skill in the courtroom is matched only by his passion for the people he works for. Dan's wealth of experience has been an asset to the local defense bar, and his readiness to lend a hand with complex legal and ethical issues in other lawyers' cases has made him a friend and mentor throughout the legal community. If I were in trouble, Dan would be the first person I would call."
