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.

A thorough, meticulous and conscientious attorney with a great staff.

I retained Mr. Campbell after interviewing 4 or 5 other attys. My case has been ongoing for almost 3 years now, and with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I couldn't be happier with my choice of legal representation. Mr. Campbell and his staff have been wonderfully helpful, friendly and courteous. ...Throughout the time that we've worked together, everything has been completed on time, in the correct format, and done right the first time. Mr. Campbell's suggestions and recommendations have all turned out to be well thought out and sound. During personal appearances in front of the judge, Mr. Campbell has always conducted himself in a experienced and professional manner. His demeanor conveys confidence, and has instilled the same in me. The support that his staff has provided has been flawless and left nothing to chance. Every detail has been checked and checked again, and then provided to me for review and input before being submitted to the court. It has been a true pleasure to have them on my team. I would highly recommend Mr. Campell and his staff to anyone who seeks legal representation or advice in Mr. Campbell's areas of expertise.
