ALBERT MANSFIELD

 

             San Mateo county’s bar claims many of its best citizens.  Among these is Albert Mansfield, city attorney of Redwood City, and son of former Sheriff Joel H. Mansfield, who has spent his lifetime in this county.

             Mr. Mansfield is one of the county’s most successful young attorneys.  Although he opened up offices only eight years ago he has built up a large and growing practice.  To care for this business Mr. Mansfield maintains an office in Halfmoon Bay in addition to his offices at the county seat.  During the eight years that he has practiced in the county, Mr. Mansfield has been associated with many famous litigations among which was the Coburn case and the trial of S. R. Timothy for the killing of J.J. Moore.

             In public life Mr. Mansfield has been city attorney of Redwood for the past eight years, and in this position he has had a most intimate connection with the growth and development of this city.  He has been a spirited worker in all leading civic movements.

             Albert Mansfield was born at Halfmoon Bay on October 21, 1884 and has spent his entire life in the county.  He graduated from the county schools and later from Hastings College of law in San Francisco.  He started to practice after five more years of study in the law offices of Ex-Governor Budd in San Francisco and Stockton.

             Mr. Mansfield is a member of the Elks, the Native Sons and the Redmen.  He was married on August 27, 1911 to Miss Elizabeth P. Winter of Redwood City.
