Doesn't Value Accountability to his Clients

I generally appreciate how they handled the case itself. They helped me to understand what was important and make sure we did what was necessary. That being said, towards the end of the case, they asked for an additional retainer which I paid with the trust that any unused retainer would be refun...ded. I ended up negotiating an early end to the case, which brought it to a close sooner than expected. After the case closed out I patiently waited for the judge's orders and final executed agreement and it wasn't until I contacted them twice that I was finally given these documents. They told me that their email server had crashed, though apparently they made no effort to verify that necessary communications had gone through. Once I told them I wanted to close out the case and get my final itemized billing statement it became very difficult to reach them. I had to contact Legal Shield just to get Mr. Campbell to answer. He eventually sent me a statement with many obvious overbillings, such as: * an erroneous process server fee (which he admits) * billing for a subpoena for a court appearance Mr. Campbell missed (which had to be rescheduled, everyone else was there but him) * billing for me to go back and forth with them to obtain the end of case documents they never sent me Mr. Campbell said he would review the statement and make any corrections then get back to me. However, since this response from him I haven't heard back from him and it is clear that he is not interested in providing fair and accurate accounting. I'm not sure what's going on, if he's just busy or if he really doesn't care and thinks it's beneath him to be accountable to his client who's paid him thousands of dollars for representation. Whatever it is, it's unacceptable and he should be ashamed of himself. I placed my trust in him and was not treated like a valued client in the end. Keep that in mind when you think of letting him hold onto your retainer. You may not get it back and he may not care to be transparently accountable about how it was spent.

Car Accident

Hired John to take on a claim I had against a car insurance company that was incredibly difficult to deal with in settling this matter. The Insurance company's client rear-ended me, sent me to the hospital and I had lasting injuries afterwards. John immediately took the case and spent nearly a year... arguing with the insurance company. In the end, he got a huge settlement for me!! Amazing attorney!

Excellent Attorney!!! Highly recommend!!!!

I went to John Campbell's office after having another attorney work on my case for 2 years... He was understanding and always available or called back in a very reasonable time frame. What another attorney had worked on for over 2 years John settle one case in less than 6 months and another in less t...han a year. I would highly recommend this great attorney! He and his staff were very caring and concerned about my health and well being. Many thanks for a job well done. He won both cases for me and prices and rates were fantastic. ( I actually got more money than the attorney did). Highly recommend him and again Thank you John Campbell for your great service and support.

Unfit and does not do his job

I hired John Campbell, He appeared to be taking my data and making reviews and getting ready for court. He didn't even give any of the stuff to the judge. I gave detailed financial data with every last transaction to him for more than 1 1/2 years only to have to get him to deliver it to the judge ...in court at lunch time. He didn't give the judge any data about my ex's misdeeds, he didn't even counter illegally obtained evidence until I demanded he do it. The other attorney brought into court stolen cell phone data obtained by spy device and such and which was agreed that he would be disbarred if he brought it in and then my attorney did nothing. John Campbell wouldn't file motions for contempt on violation of Pendente Lite which included nearly 2 years of unbelievable harassment of myself. I repeatedly demanded he do this and basically got told no. He took vacation to go see his girlfriend which cost me a delay of 6 months on the case and over $35,000 in expenses. He wouldn't even file one motion for my benefit during his time. He didn't support proof of affair of my ex. He didn't even make attempt when requested in court to consult with him. I actually sat there and asked to speak to him and he wouldn't do it. All he did is run up a massive bill in excess of $30,000 and resulted in nothing for me.
