Mark Mansfield helped me out so much and I can’t thank him enough. I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I had to leave my husband of 16 years. He was drinking so much, he had drank for a long time but by that time he was up to two of those huge bottles of whiskey a day, the economy size. I kept having to call the ambulance on him, when he would fall and not be able to get up. Then he started taking so many ambien with his drinking, when I left and took our 6 year old daughter, I never went back. I had had enough. I took my minivan, the cat, our clothes and went to my best friends, she took us in. My husband would no longer work or hold a job, he was having his liquor delivered into the house, and he was living off his mom’s social security and retirement fund. I got a bonus at work and went to his office and he helped me file for divorce. He was so kind in helping me, like he really understood what I was going through. There were a lot of different things to file for my daughter, he totally helped me to file the proper paperwork. He helped me learn how to use Dropbox, I had so much video proof of his drinking. It was hard to have to share custody of my daughter with him but the courts said that since he lived with his mother she could be the guardian, I hated it. In the middle of everything Covid struck and all the courts closed. So when court finally happened we had to do it in his conference room over zoom. He made it in my custody papers that we had to meet at a police station to exchange our daughter, guess what? My husband never showed one time to pick her up. When I found out my husband was on drugs I told him and he knew exactly what to do, he made me call CPS and tell them. So they had to do an investigation and it really helped my case. My whole goal was to keep my daughter safe. Mark did so much to help me. It takes time but in the long run it’s better, you think this divorce is never going to happen. Mine never did happen, my husband died exactly one year from when I left him, he drank so much he got pancreintitis and he died. There were a lot of other things I could go on and on about that he did for me and my little girl. But basically he had my back and did everything to keep her safe. He was always kind, informative, very understanding…but most importantly, he knew the law and how to help me. I’m thankful now that the divorce never happened, if I ever get into a jam and lose my job I am able to collect spousal benefits from social security, that sure comes in handy when your a single mom trying to raise a daughter. I couldn’t say more about him, just know he’s on your side and will get the job done, He always has your best interest at heart. ❤️

This law office was referred to me by a friend. Mark & his staff helped me thru a tough litigation, making the process easier to walk through. I highly recommend this firm.

I needed someone to look over some legal documents I needed for an interview. Mark took great effort to make sure I understood what the papers meant and how to better negotiate the terms. Then followed up with me days later to make sure everything turned out fine, then helped me re-work the approved documents. Thank you.

I really appreciated Mr. Mansfield from the beginning of our working relationship. He immediately took a personal interest, offered the best of himself, and was very reasonable in his fees. I know he work tirelessly long hours pulling together information and working on our case. Although our case has been in the courtroom several times, and we did not always have the outcome we wanted, I know we were represented well.
Mr. Mansfield always had his ducks in a row, was overprepared, and always had a plan. He has restored my faith that there really are lawyers that are good people. He is full of integrity and tenacity. Two things you really want in a child custody battle.
Unfortunately, I have learned that judges may be more the problem than the lawyers. It is nasty to see how biased and lazy a judge can be.
Would I recommend Mr. Mansfield, YES. Would I use him again in the future, YES! Why? I trust him. I trust him as a man, and as a lawyer.
