Legal Support for My Divorce

Mr Campbell was very up front from the beginning and was easy to work with. He was excellent when we went to court. He was also experienced enough to include a statement in the divorce agreement stating that the mortgage escrow account was an asset of mine. This was very helpful when the check ...arrived later with both our names on it.

Child Custody/Support for Unwed Mother

Mr. Campbell came highly recommended by a close friend when we were seeking legal advise for my daughter, who is an unwed mother, regarding the custody/child support for her daughter. He listened to us and never judged us or my daughter's situation. He was always willing to listen to our side, but ...also give his legal opinion on the best way to handle the case since of course when dealing with a custody/support issue of a child much of our side was emotion driven. He has always been available to answer our questions and respond to our needs in a most expedient manner. His staff is one of the best to work with. His legal assistant goes above and beyond and has always been courteous and helpful as well. I would not hesitate to use his services again as well as highly recommend him to anyone.

Review of Legal Services Provided by Mr. James C. Campbell, P.A.

My case involved a Marriage Settlement Agreement (MSA). Mr. Campbell represented me in a very Professional Legal manner. He did not promise me anything that he knew could not be achieved. He explained the laws of Florida to me clearly as they related to my case and was extremely helpful in answeri...ng my questions during the course of the MSA. I would gladly recommend Mr. Campbell to someone who is looking for an attorney that will plainly let them know what they are facing and where they stand.

Outstanding Legal Representation

I would highly recommend Mr. Campbell for all of your family law needs. I am a returning client. Mr. Campbell has represented me in two contempt hearings and a child support hearing, and we have won every hearing. Mr. Campbell is a tiger in the courtroom. He points out inconsistencies in document...s and testimonies given by “the other side,” he objects often when it is necessary, and knows what he is doing. Mr. Campbell does not sugarcoat anything. He clearly outlines the best-case scenario as well as the worst possible case scenario. He does an outstanding job at making sure his clients know what the law states, and he has the ability to explain it so that the average, non-law speaking person can understand. Mr. Campbell is very quick to return emails and phone calls. Before hiring Mr. Campbell, I had contacted several other attorneys. Mr. Campbell was the only one that gave me the impression that he wanted to help me. The others did not seem to care one way or the other. Mr. Campbell’s staff is some of the most professional, polite, and respectful individuals I have ever had the pleasure to talk to. His staff worked with me on making payments, kept me informed on court hearings, and when I needed additional documents for an out-of-state attorney, his staff sent me the documents immediately. The client intake forms and payment schedules were clear and concise. I knew what I was paying for and when. Should I ever need legal representation again, I WILL return to Mr. Campbell and his staff.

Military Divorce

Mr. Campbell was very good lawyer, told me the truth and what my options were. I found his advice sound and insightful. He staff was also very nice and helpful. While I hope never to use his services again (divorce) if needed I would definitely use him again.
