THE BEST LAWYER

Tom was very accommodating to my needs and really helped me through a very not so good situation I put myself into. He got me a very favorable outcome and helped me save quite a bit of money with extra court costs that went along with my sentence. Thanks again Tom!!! I would suggest him for anyone li...ving in New Jersey!

Awesome Guy !

Mr. Campo is amazing ! but let me tell you my situation before him. I hired a different lawyer for huge amount of money in June. After 6 months of my discoveries being delayed my lawyer at the time basically told me there was nothing he could do. He also yelled at me lol, just used my fears and pre...tty much for free money. SO, I went to get a 2nd advice with Mr.Campo and he pointed out what was wrong with the police report. He didn't make promises but did say he could try to get to 3 months. HE DID! my 7months and interlock went down to 3 months and 12 hr idrc. I was worried I had to pay another full amount for another representation but He gave me a peace of mind on my financial and thats what a lawyer is about. You care and love what you do and make clients happy. I just got my license back yesterday and got a new car as well with my own insurance ( may be different for everyone) I'm only paying 230 for insurance. Just learn from your mistakes and never do it again. Even though I did the right thing and pulled over for someone to pick me up, I still took responsibility that I was intoxicated. Trust me these months go by quick and although I was grateful I had family, friends, and coworkers to take me to 2 full time jobs and full time school. I did feel like a burden to my family for constantly asking them but you will know who are true to you and I'm glad throughout this time I saw that because you don't want negativity people in your life. Everything happens for a reason. I even told my whole family about him and my family are big fan of drinking so after my situation they had laid back and we are more responsible than ever. Anyways, I recommend Mr. Campo to anyone. Thank you sir, my life is back on track.

DUI / CDS Case

During the summer of 2017 I was accused of a DUI and possession of a CDS. I hired Mr.Campo to represent me. After months of waiting to go to court I finally attended and because of stipulations regarding callobration of the Breathalyzer machine my DUI was dropped to a reckless driving and I acquired ...a conditional discharge for the CDS. Mr. Campo prevented myself from a terrible situation and if ever the situation occured again I would always hire him to represent me. He went above and beyond to reach my goal and surpassed the expectations. 10/10 I would always recommend him and very very reasonable pricing. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED WITH HIS WORK!

Cannabis- DUI for the odor of "Burt Marijuana".

This "Trial" took nothing but patience. Tom Campo & his years of experience really help me understand exactly what my options were. Even financially. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Toms River area. He was the first lawyer I chose for my case & I am 36 miles from Toms River. Great with up...dating you on any information you would want to know. Either phone call or SMS. Thank You again.

Great results, great guy!

Very well known in the area with tons of experience. Extremely responsive and fairly priced! Immediately gave me his cell phone number and was available every time I called and texted. Paperwork was filed/ failed for me the first day! Results were exactly what I hoped for!
