AMAZING! Knowledgable, brilliant, kind.

I consulted with Mr. Camp on a very complex former spouse matter, and he was thoughtful, thorough, and very kind. He took extended time to discuss the ins, outs, and loops of a complicated set of circumstances. There are many lawyers who claim knowledge of this area of law, but Mr. Camp ACTUALLY kno...ws it through and through. He is also up to date on Tricare changes coming up in 2018. I cannot say enough good things about this wise and careful advisor. I would hire him in a heartbeat; if things get even slightly complicated as my situation progresses, I am going to try to become his client.

A Divorce Client

Mr. Camp is truly an AMAZING attorney!!! My husband, who was a retired Federal Civil Service Employee, filed for divorce after 40+ years of marriage. Because my husband was a Civil Service Retiree, Mr. Camp came highly recommended from the office of another attorney where I had previously sought ad...vice. His experience and knowledge of the Federal Civil Service Retirement System is very extensive, and he was able to tell me of my all entitlements within the hour of our consultation. He quickly went to work on my counterclaim for the divorce, and in two weeks we were in court for spousal support. The outcome - I was awarded a substantial monthly amount. I could not have gotten through the complex situation surrounding the divorce, and then the difficult time of my husband’s death, without Mr. Camp being there every step of the way. Mr. Camp smoothly navigated the application process with OPM, and I am now receiving the monthly survivor benefit. Mr. Camp also made sure that I was able to keep the health benefits as well, because at my age, there is no way I could afford to pay health care premiums on my own. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Camp as the go to attorney for anyone involved in a Federal Civil Service case.

Fantastic Family Law and Divorce (Military) Attorney

I hired a Mr. Camp in July 2008, to handle my divorce. He made me feel so comfortable and that I made the best choice in an attorney. Mr. Camp, handled my divorce case, and my Modification of Child Support Case. He will make you feel as if you are his only client and he has your best interest at h...eart. He is well diverse in Military Law/ Divorces. His knowledge and expertise speaks volumes. Mr. Camp, keeps you well informed about your case and every thing that is going on. I continue to go through things with me ex and Mr. Camp continues to be my attorney. When he gives me advise, he gives me all possible outcomes. He guides me in making the correct decision and not one that just benefits him and gets him paid. His knowledge of Military Law and Military Divorces is outstanding!!! Mr. Camp is a GOD sent blessing to me! His is the BEST at his job!!!!

Invaluable expertise and support in healthcare options for former military spouses

When I divorced in 2010, my attorney unfortunately did not understand or comprehend my rights and entitlements as a military spouse. Because of his inadequacies in the area of Military Family Law, he could neither provide me effective and competent legal advice or ensure that I would be protected in... having access to affordable and quality healthcare after my divorce. In short….I did not get what I deserved and what I desperately needed because of my pre-existing medical problems. I was so disappointed and was left really in a mess. I was determined to find someone in the Universe that knew what they were talking about to help me. By luck or by God’s hand, I found an attorney, Wm. John Camp, who became my guiding hand and led me to secure my military healthcare entitlements when I thought they were all but lost forever! Mr. Camp immediately returned my calls. He provided precise and considered legal advice on the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP), and led me out of the confusing and frustrating maze of that helpless feeling of not knowing what to do and too scared to do anything. Mr. Camp did what all others said could not be done, and led me to safety. Mr. Camp helped me to achieve a positive outcome. I am very also grateful for the very hard work Mr. Camp has done for the members, spouses, and former spouses of the armed forces. I am grateful for his involvement in writing a lengthy and informative article about all of the Healthcare Options for Former Military Spouses. But even more importantly when it comes to evaluating lawyers, I was most impressed with Mr. Camp’s kind heart and his willingness to reach out to me, a perfect stranger. He listened to my story and gave me the prompt and professional guidance that I needed to turn my desperate situation around. You just don’t find many lawyers willing to do that for strangers these days. Mr. Camp’s expertise and support were invaluable to me! He has my highest recommendation.
