Definitely the right choice
George was a great attorney that helped me with my DWI case. He was very kind, professional and understanding. He took the time to get to know me and was very happy to answer any and all questions I had concerning my case. He was also able to negotiate my case down to a violation leaving my hopeful career choices all that more attainable! I would highly recommend his services if you live anywhere near the Greater Manchester area!

Great Experience
My experience was excellent. I had defaulted on two DUI's from four years ago and had no idea how to even begin to resolve them. After helping me to understand my options, we agreed to a plea bargain. My offenses could easily have resulted in jail time and my being declared a habitual offender, resulting in a four year loss of license, but thanks to George T. Campbell, I ended up having one DUI reduced to Criminal Mischief, for which I only paid a fine, and the other resulting in a 90 day suspension and a fine, with no probation.

Skip is Aces as a person and a terrific attorney
Skip has represented me 3 times in the past eleven years and I couldn't possibly speak highly enough of not only his results but profeasionalism . He is very easy to ask questions and explains them thoroughly, my first case I visited 3 attorneys including the office of the superstar lawyer from the big 80s murder case and was sent away with zero chance and basically told to take a plea... Skip actually took the time to read the case and really listen told me the case he thought we had and the way to go about defending it... he took it to trial and I was found not guilty... from that point on he was my guy... he also helped me she Allstate Insurance for a coverage issue to favorable results also... third time I got a dwi knocked down to a 60 day reckless operation which was fantastic... Skip is very personable and respectful and I know he is highly respected in the court room by his peers... which in turn I believe helps him achieve the great results he does... he is not only my go to legal advisor he is also now a friend .

A Great Lawyer
I have used George "Skip" Campbell's legal representation services several times over the last decade. He is an excellent lawyer that has delivered the best possible results for me in my cases. He has delivered a not guilty DWI verdict for me in 2008 & a favorable plea deal of a DWI 2nd first offense in 2013, which significantly reduced my loss of license & avoided any possible jail time. His experience & expertise in law is evident upon the initial consult interview. He listened intently & was very detailed & honest in laying out my options moving forward. His confidence & command of the court room really stood out to me as he professionally addressed the judge & prosecutor throughout my proceedings & relentlessly cross-examined my arresting officer. He is honest, reliable, & highly talented as a lawyer. He has continued to honor his word & represent me even after changing law firms. His integrity is top-notch & I would highly recommend George “Skip” Campbell to anyone that needs representation.

George Campbell Review
Mr. Campbell provided excellent legal advise and counseling and continues to do so for our family. Throughout the process (and is it continues) he has listened attentively to our concerns -- always responding to our inquiries in a timely manner and only after careful thought and reflection. In the Court Room his presentations are based in fact and delivered in a highly effective manner--which has proved beneficial in our case. His compassion for all of us and his empathy for the situation we are all involved in has made this journey more palatable--especially because of his regular communication through various technologies.

the lawyer you need
George is by far the best lawyer I know. My case took almost 3 years and every day George worked above and beyond what I perceived to be capable. In the courtroom it is clearly evident that his dedication and hard work pays off. George owns that courtroom and proves it by knowing every detail about the case and cases in the past alike. It was incredible watching him work and fight for the client. I highly recommend George to anyone who is in need of an attorney.

Great Lawyer
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this experience went. My husband was looking at a 3rd DUI charge and minimum of 1 year in jail for a crime that happened over 10 years ago. Trying to get this cleared up with the least amount of impact on our 3 yld son was our main priority. George was 1/2 the price we was quoted from other lawyers and went above and beyond to help our family. He was able to get the charge dropped to a DUI 1st and not jail time for my husband! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great DUI lawyer.

The most trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring attorney I have ever met. George has represented me in several cases and just when I thought there was no hope I would receive a call or an email from him explaining what he was doing for me or just to tell me he was on it and ease my worries. I have met many attorney's in my profession and it goes with out saying that George Campbell is on the top of the list of truly great attorneys.

Disingenuous and incompetent
I hired George “Skip” Campbell to represent me in a child custody case where there was criminal activity involved. Skip led me to believe that he was experienced in child custody as well as criminal justice so I hired him. He was an unmitigated disaster. He gave me extremely poor advice on how to deal with the guardian ad litum that was involved in the case and that was my downfall. He told me to shy away from saying negative things about the child’s father which after consulting with many different people turned out to be a very bad piece of advice, especially considering that the child’s father crucified me with lie after lie after lie. He also gave me bad advice on whether or not to testify against someone who was facing felony charges. It is my belief that Backus, Meyer and Branch, the firm where my lawyer is employed, cares only about money and that their clients best interests do not come first.

Response from George Campbell April 6, 2017
This review could not be more inaccurate. I terminated this client relationship because the client and her family refused to take my advice and harmed the case in the process. Skip
