Excellent Attorney

When you hire an attorney, you need both: 1. An attorney who knows the law inside and out. 2. An attorney who knows the players in the township or county you got charges in. Tom is your guy. He’s honest with you. In my case, I was an emotional mess. My father is dying and I had other f...amily issues that were not within my control. Tom listened and showed me empathy when I needed it the most. He understands that no one wants to hire an attorney. When you are facing charges that affect your freedom and/or long term ramifications from the incident, you want to hire a good attorney. This is not the time to take the cheap way out. You pay for what you get. I had 9 traffic violations at 10 am and was on the way to a dr’s appointment. I was so angry that I was being pulled over that my “attitude” dig me a bigger hole. At the right time when I was ready to listen, Tom took the time to tell me where I made my mistakes with my case. Also, he told me I did a lot of right things. And because of that, he was able to fight for me. 8/9 cases were dropped and I lost my drivers license for 30 days. I had a second case 6 weeks later. I recently moved and all the homes looked exactly the same. Thankfully, no one was home, but I tried to break into the wrong home. I just want successful but was arrested immediately with 2 criminal charges. I knew I was wrong. Tom is so good at talking to people. He’s got a likable personality and that’s a critical attribute to have when you’re representing clients in the legal system. Just divide any documents and/or information he might need and let him do his job. He’s not cheap but he’s fair and a man of his word. Hopefully,I won’t need to hire anymore attorneys but if I do, Tom is the ONLY attorney I’d hire in NJ, especially ocean county. Good luck and hope this helps. Good luck with your case.

Tom Campo

Tom Campo had the two tickets I received dismissed. This could have affected my driving status at my place of employment. Couldn't be happier with the outcome

Highly Recommend Tom Campo

I am an out of state driver who got a traffic tickets while passing through Jersey. Not knowing anyone in South Jersey, I knew I would need to hire a lawyer purely based on anonymous reviews and a website and that made me very nervous. However, I was very pleased with Tom. He always took my calls and... answered my questions. He knew how the potential charges could affect my driving and record in my home state, unlike some of the other lawyers I spoke with previously. On the day of court, he was there early and my case was the first one called. Overall, he lowered the tickets to the lowest possible speeding ticket. I could not have asked for more from a lawyer. I would highly recommend him.

Saved my license

3rd cell phone ticket and had it downgraded and no loss of license excellent results better than hoped for ... professional and readily available to communicate and especially responds quickly . Was recommended to him from my sister who had favorable outcome in her situation as well. Our other sister... who is an attorney in Florida researched our area for attorneys and recommended him. Would highly recommend him to anyone ; you will not be disappointed .

My experience with Thomas V. Campo

Thomas Campo did a great job defending me. I was extremely happy with the outcome. I was charged with my 3rd DUI offense possession of CDS as well as paraphernalia and various traffic violations falure to maintain lane, speeding, falure to stop at a sign, carless driving, reckless driving. I was look...ing at a 10 year plus loss of licsense, jail time as well as enormous fines. He was able to find a way to get the DUI dismissed. I ended up pleading guilty to reckless driving and possession or CDS. 30 Day loss of licsense and minimum fines. He is a true professional at what he does. On top of that he was always available he met with me on a Sunday afternoon after a Sunday morning arrest and would pick up the phone at anytime of day for legal advise I needed right away or simply to discuss questions about my case.
