"John Campo is an excellent attorney. He specializes in criminal defense, appeals, and handling traffic and speeding matters. I have worked with Mr. Campo for 2.5 years, and am impressed with what he does for his clients in court. In one case, his client was arrested for Gang Assault (a violent felony), and he was able to have the case reduced to a disorderly conduct. He is also one of the few criminal attorneys with a real expertise in handling post-conviction appeals work. I highly recommend him."
