Excellent General Advice

After reading one of Mr. Camp's old blog posts, I reached out to him with questions based on his expertise regarding military gross income calculation for child support. I sent a general inquiry and explained that it was just for informational purposes, not as a prospective client. Frankly, I wasn'...t sure I'd even get a reply, as based on experience, even an attorney who has represented you won't respond to even a basic inquiry without charging. However, Mr. Camp not only responded, but did so within a few hours, provided more detail than I expected, then later replied to a followup question with examples, documents and attachments. At one point, he even thanked me for being respectful of his time. Frankly, I was blown away by the responsiveness and the helpfulness of the information he provided. Considering the level of assistance I got, I can only imagine the efforts he goes to for his clients. Unfortunately, due to location, we can't retain Mr. Camp, but if not for that, he would be my first choice for representation.

A man of integrity

Mr. Camp helped my sister in law through a very difficult situation involving her husbands infidelity and resulting issues of child support. In working with her, the advise he gave was invaluable to her case and his many years of experience cut the time she spent accruing legal fees in half. Mr. Ca...mp negates all stereotypes given to lawyers these days in the fact that his altruism and belief in a fair justice system are paramount to greed. I recommend any potential client who wants a lawyer who exemplifies integrity to look no further than Mr. Camp!

Appreciation for Mr Camp's services

My divorce required expertise in the field of military pensions because my then spouse was retired military and receiving a military pension. My divorce lawyer recommended we use John Camp because she trusted him to do an excellent job navigating this specialized area. I found him to be extremely k...nowledgeable in this area of military pensions as well as able and willing to answer any question I or my lawyer had. He was thorough, meticulous to detail, responded quickly when we were in need of assistance and very good about informing us when he needed to be out of town. I remember one specific incident when my lawyer, the opposing lawyer, my then spouse and I were all on a conference phone call with Mr Camp and he was able to calmly and skillfully by his words and the tenor of his voice defuse the tension that was occurring over a matter that had come up. He was an integral and important part of my divorce settlement and I am grateful.

Child custody modification

I hired Mr. Camp in March of 2014. I had been battling a 4 year custody case with my ex husband. I had tried several lawyers and was at my breaking point. I found myself wanting to give up, because it seemed like nothing could be done to help my situation. Mr. Camp was very professional, straight to... the point about what my chances were of this actually happening for me. He stayed in constant contact with me throughout the entire time. I guess you would say Mr. Camp is some what of a go getter!! He accomplished in 5 months, what no other attorney had been able to do. I just signed my final paperwork yesterday. I still can't believe this is finally over for me. I can only give Mr. Camp all the glory because he wasn't afraid to fight for what he felt I deserved. Mr. Camp really puts his heart into his work and it shows by the amount of sincerity, compassion, drive, and hard work that he invests in his clients cases. I couldn't be happier with what he accomplished for me. I will definitely use him again for anything I need in the future.
