Helped me through a hard time

This lawyer helped me a few years ago with a juvenile crime case. I had got in with a wrong group and was caught up in a crime that I really didn't want to be part of. Mr. Mayfield helped me get through the system and got me a fair result. After the case was done he went back to court with me a...nd my record was washed clean (expunged) and the charges were dropped. I don't ever want to go through that again but Mr. Mayfield made it easier for me. He kept saying I would get through this and I did. He knew the laws and everybody in the courthouse which I think helped. Very much recommend.

Knowledgealbe, experienced, and personable.

I am thankful for Mr. Mayfield's help, he was very knowledgeable and experienced and dealt with my son's case in a professional manner. I would recommend Mark Mayfield to anyone who needs legal help and would like an attorney who will work hard to get the best outcome possible. Having Mr. Mayfield on... the case was a comfort, he made sure that we understood how the court process works and made us feel a little more at ease during a very stressful time.

"Not just a lawyer......but a father"

When the Court assigned Mark Mayfield as our counsel, we thought we would only have the typical lawyer-client relationship. We had a misunderstanding on one of our meetings but when we hired him as our private lawyer, things had changed. We had the chance to talk long enough that we became comfort...able around him. We could e-mail him anytime we want and he would e-mail us back even if it's late at night. When we are in Court, he makes sure that we're doing okay and he constantly checks on our son. He also tells us about his wonderful family and he shares to us a lot of things about parenting. We feel that we're being treated as part of his family. Three of my godfathers are lawyers and most of my friends are lawyers but I could say that Mark is one of the best lawyers I've ever met not only because he has a very kind heart but he is very knowledgeable and goes an extra mile on every case that he handles. His exemplary performance in Court will always leave a mark in our hearts.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
