Hero!!

BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!! Thomas Campo not only handled my case with professionalism and care, but also went the extra MILES and took my and my families calls day and night. He went above and beyond. Spared me from serious criminal charges and gave me my life back. Especially while I struggle with menta...l illness, his patience, support and dedication is unmatchable. He takes the time to understand his clients and their needs. Truly grateful everyday for his wonderful and detailed work fighting for me and my freedom. Thank you eternally Thomas Campo!!!

Best lawyer

I have to say Tom Campo is on of the best lawyers i could have asked for any text or phone had a response within an hour directly from him and not his secretary witch is very unusual these days he gives a personal touch to his profession which again you very rarely see he is a man of his word I wish... there were more than 5 stars to give.

Legend of a Lawyer

I was impressed by Thomas' ability to be empathetic, yet logical. He seems to be the most connected man in South Jersey! 10/10 would recommend.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
