Concerned for whomever is on the wrong side of the track of this man!!!

I had a very bad experience with this lawyer as he threatened myself. Can Lawyer's do that? Best believe I will do my homework on that issue. He was the worst lawyer I have ever come across in my forty plus years of dealing with lawyers!!

Incredibly awesome

I pulled Steven's name out of the phone book after my 13 year old daughter and I were hit by a tractor trailer while sitting at a stop sign. My car was totaled and my daughter received significant knee damage which caused her to lose time at school, cheerleading and horse riding. He was so attentive ...and efficient during our year long preceding, making sure my daughter was taken care not only now but in the future should she have any reoccurring issues or pain. The settlement we received was enuf to allow her plenty of therapy so she could return to her normal activities and even win 4 ribbons in her first horse competition. I can't thank Steven and his daughter enough for all their hard work

I first met with Steve when he came to our home while I was still recovering from my injuries. I explained to him how the accident occurred and what we’ve been through. He explained what he would do for us. It was such a weight off our shoulders. From that point on he took care of everything. Wh...enever we received any correspondence or bills we sent it straight to him. He kept us informed about what was going on and also kept us from being anxious. He was very persistent in getting information from companies that were not forthcoming. It took a long time for us before we were mobile and for our convenience, he met us at our home. We feel like we developed a friendship over the months. Because of his persistence we feel the outcome of the case was much better for us than it might have been. We feel he served us as well as anyone could have. If we ever need a lawyer again, we would not hesitate to call Steve.

Absolutely Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Campen is a truly amazing advocate and exceptionally skilled attorney who makes it his mission to fully inform his clients at every step of the way while providing top-notch legal services. He assisted us with a very difficult case, providing superior legal advice and making himself available to ...us throughout the multiple phases of trial and beyond. I could not have asked for more stellar representation and I endorse him and his firm fully to anyone in need of legal representation.

Beyond Informative and Helpful

I was caught off guard as to when my court appearance was supposed to be for Traffic Violations that could require jail time. I was under the impression it was supposed to be the next month but it was actually the very next day. I had met Steven socially only once but reached out using a card he had ...given me if I ever needed it and he responded immediately and was able to provide representation on the spot. After providing him with the information he needed to represent me he was extremely thorough in walking me through every step of the proceedings that was about to occur and I felt supremely confident walking into court the next day with him as my lawyer. He was very personable and helpful in every possible way and helped me not only avoid possible jail time but also made sure there was lasting affect against me points wise. I would recommend him 10/10 times.

He was already an experienced and successful lawyer then and has only increased in his expertise and success in representation of clients since then. He has been a mentor to me for all of these years and has been a partner in some cases. I know I can always get a good answer from him to any question related to a personal injury case.
