Great Attorney
John Campo has been our company attorney for years. He has helped us on many cases. He reviews all of our contracts before we sign, he has helped defend us in cases where we've been unrightfully sued, he has helped immensely with understanding the lien process and has helped us file multiple liens and get money back that was owed to us. He has a very assertive, strong attitude; he is very confident; he gives advice and he has a very strong knowledge base. He also, if he doesn't have knowledge in a certain area of the law, has helped us find someone who does. We will continue to use him and continue to recommend him for as long as he's in business.
