James Clarence Campbell

My case was very poorly handled, or rather mishandled. I believed Mr. Campbell during my initial consultation but as soon as I hired him he changed the attitude. Multiple mistakes happened by him and the office that had to be corrected and when I pointed it out I was charged for corrections. Mr. Ca...mpbell doesn’t listen his clients and simply didn’t care about my case. He wouldn’t let me finish my sentences, days would go by to get an answer from him or Stephanie, documents weren’t filed on time, emails from a mediator were ignored. They made sure I know in every conversation that they have other clients and my case is not that important. I wish I could say that it was worth of money, but after spending a good sum (several thousands), Mr. Campbell just complicated, and purposely dragged the case… such a shame and I wish I knew better.

I have so much I could say, but I am going to tactfully refrain. Based on my personal experiences with Mr. Campbell, I would never recommend him nor his apprentice , Mr. Clark Henderson. Mr. Campbell quit- after 18 months- as my legal counselor before my family/custody cases were even heard by the co...urt (he didn't even set a date for a final hearing). But he was sure to deposit over $20,000 into his account before quitting..

I retained Mr. Campbell in 2014 due to custody issues, and to this day he is still my attorney for custody/child support issues. My ex is a very manipulative and controlling person and, in the past, I had been very scared to stand up to him; however, with Mr. Campbell and his team by my side I am no... longer scared to fight. He goes above and beyond and is truly remarkable at what he does, he knows how to fight for you and protect you and your children. I consider him a knight in shining armor, anyone that gets to be his client is truly blessed. If you are dealing with custody or child support issues and need someone to fight for you, go nowhere else, you will not be disappointed.

This was my first time in need of an attorney, so I didn't know what to expect. I was under the impression that, if you Hire an attorney then they take it from there. That was not the case. There was a lot of leg work for me to do on my part. Example: documenting, fact gathering; and remembering pl...aces, times, people and things of that nature. Mr Campbell is very personable and easy to talk to. He helped me achieve my goal of getting my children away from a toxic environmen. I am definitely satisfied with the judgment and outcome.

For an attorney that charges $250 an hour, I was disappointed in the legal services I received. I expected an attorney with in-depth knowledge of divorce law, military law and contract law; however, this proved to not be the case. My case involved a legal dispute between my ex-wife and me regarding a...n invalid court order concerning the division of my military retirement. As the case progressed, I considered firing Mr. Campbell on several occasions, but we were too far along into the case to start over with another attorney. His knowledge of military DFAS law and the Survivor Benefit Plan was limited and I often found myself informing him of what the military law stated. Mr. Campbell failed to read all of my martial settlement agreement (MSA) which I provided to him, resulting in him advising me of information which went against the language in my former MSA. When it was all said and done, I ended up paying 3 times the amount that my ex-wife paid for her attorney and settled my own case because Mr. Campbell did not want to go to mediation. I settled because I did not feel comfortable in Mr. Campbell’s legal counsel and knowledge regarding the laws and defense of the circumstances surrounding this case. Mr. Campbell’s Staff: Overall fair performance. They overcharged on their billing which I had to correct on several occasion. Months after signing a service fee contract, they raised the rate $25 an hour without any advance notice or explanation. They consistently failed to proof read the legal documents and sent correspondence to the court which was inaccurate. On a major note, they scheduled 2 hearings without my consent even after informing them in writing to not schedule hearing without my prior knowledge, these oversights resulted in major complications and thousands of dollars in additional legal expenses. Overall, Mr. Campbell is a nice guy and he's quick to response to inquiries; however, he seemed to be way out of his league regarding the legal knowledge and understanding of military DFAS law and the facts surrounding my case. I would not recommend him if you're looking for someone with in-depth knowledge of military divorce law.
