Highly Recommended Criminal Defense Attorney

Living out-of-state, a member of our family had outstanding warrants in multiple counties for past drug-addiction related charges. After searching on line and discussing the case with multiple attorneys in New Jersey, as well as considering referrals from family and friends, we chose Mr. Campo to re...present us. He displayed a high degree of professionalism and expertise, coupled with the necessary mix of optimism and compassion – all the qualities needed to face this legal battle. Tom Campo was the best decision we could have made! Mr. Campo immediately responded to our texts and phone calls and kept us educated and informed; guiding us through the criminal court system every step of the way and advising us on what to do and what not to do. He is a skilled litigator who projects a commanding presence in the court room; with obvious mutual respect from his peers and the judges. Tom Campo is tenacious in his defense of his client, and through his excellent representation was able to achieve successful outcomes. We are forever grateful to Tom Campo for his counsel and recommend him highly. He is a winner and anyone facing criminal charges would be extremely fortunate to have Tom for their legal representation – he is the best!!!

Attorney

Thomas Campo is a very knowledgeable attorney who commands the courtroom. I was facing very serious charges that he was able to get me minimum charges . He simplified my matter and spoke on my behalf in court . I am grateful for the work he has done on my case.

Caught in a jam

Mr. Campo is very professional and knowledgeable. He met with us within 20 min of calling him on his day off. We sought out his advise prior to being charged. It was to ensure we were protected. He advised us more than I thought he should without a fee. After he heard our case, he looked at it from a...ll angles and then was very clear on what he will do and what the cost would be pending the outcome. He then followed through with haste and everything he predicted to happen, happened. To include NOT being charged. Mr. Campo was even available afterwards for follow up questions from us as well as contacting us before correspondence was recieved by us in the mail from the courts. He ensured that the innocent stayed innocent. There is no doubt that I would call him again and pay any fee if I or we were to run into any trouble again. Thank you Mr. Campo. Your services are greatly appreciated.

Best lawyer ever!

Mr. Campo is the best lawyer ever. My boyfriend and cousin were facing some legal issues in new jersey and we was desperate to find a lawyer. when i found Mr.Campo on AVVO, WHEN I SAW THE AMZING REVIEWS i gave him a call and not only did he not talk about money rigth away, like the other hundred i ca...lled, but he instanly told me exactly what would happen if we hired him to defend my family. he gave me such hope as well a my boyfriend and cousin who instanly believe that they would be going away for a long time, he made all of us feel extremely comfortable and we. Not only did he put his finanical fees to the side but he made it his mission to make sure that my family were not facing not only jail time but no ties to the systemm at all. hes a good listener and a good man. May god bless him in more ways then one. I would most certainly reccomend to anybody facing legal matters.

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.
