1000% recommend

I am extremely satisfied after working with Tom. I have a long record and any small charge can cause me a very harsh sentence. I hired Tom only 2 weeks before my court date for a simple assault charge and in that short amount of time he did everything he needed to do to make sure that i would not end... up in jail again. I didn't say one word in court, Tom handled everything and i was released with no fines, nothing on my record and all i can say is that god forbid i get into any legal issues again, Tom will be the first person i reach out to. Highly recommend.

LIFESAVER

Tom is the best. Outcome came out way better than I planned. Very Accurate he pin points your case, which gives you confidence. Tom has so much confidence he picked me up when this case got me down He answers the phone he makes the schedule. He does it all himself so very professional, I have ne...ver experienced this. So I would like to tell everyone that if Tom Campo ever retires I will never feel safe again. Tom saved me from the worst and kept me safe from the law's intimidation and fears. Thank You

miracle attorney, best money spent

Thomas Campo is a consummate legal professional. He has a depth of experience few attorneys possess. He works hard to provide top-tier quality legal services and strategies. He does his homework and ensures that his legal strategy is supported by case law and practical knowledge. Excellent legal r...epresentation is worth its weight in gold. Our family truly appreciates everything you have done for our niece. She was facing very serious criminal charges which would of been a life changing event if we wouldn't have used him. You have given our niece her life back and we can't thank you enough for fighting for her. I feel 100% confident in referring family and friends to him should the need arise.

Best money ever spent

I was given Tom's information through a family friend of mine, and i was told he was the person to talk to. Without getting too specific i was facing 19 counts, C2/C3 felonies, a weapons charge, and more. So clearly i didn't think anyone would have the ability to get me out of this without doing ...serious time. After 16 months of hard work, i just stood up in front of the judge recently to hear "24m Probation!" Now she was clear that this deal was unusual, and warned me that if there were any violations, i have used up all my leniency. Tom pulled off the impossible, kept me a free man, and turned my life around. Without him I wouldn't have this second chance to make better choices and reform my life. Tom is a fantastic person, a hard working attorney, and has the magic to make miracles.

The man that made it all go away

I was fortunate enough to find Tom as a lawyer after doing a little bit of research and it was an absolute blessing. When I first reached out to Tom I told him everything. I was facing a criminal Charge with CDS and I was scared to death. He told me the worst case scenario and then he told me the bes...t case scenario and what steps we would have to take to try and make that happen. Tom was always a phone call away and if he was too busy too answer He always called me back later even if it was on his own time. He always reassured me that everything was going to be okay and that was the best feeling through this hard time. Tom is so knowledgeable and knows everything about the law. He is so personable and friendly. If Tom can’t help you out then in my opinion I don’t think any lawyer will be able to. I highly highly recommend him for everyone who is ever in a serious jam. I will forever be grateful for what Tom did for me and helping me get everything dropped
