COMPLETELY SATISFIED!

Tom is a total professional. Acknowledged my situation and helped me with the best course of action that worked out in favorably. Always available and answered every question I had promptly. I not only hired a great lawyer, I gained a friend. Highly recommend.

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.

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

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 .

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.
