Pure scumbag in thefilth

He screwed up and f***** up my case what should have been a simple walk from a so-called aggravated assault the victim didn't want to press charges but the state of Arkansas insisted the results I got 5 years in prison all because he didn't do his job up hauling the witness to court for Superior in t...he witness this is back in 1985 he was incompetent then and he's incompetent now buyer beware

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Don tells it like it is and he is honest

I have contacted two other lawyers before Don to review a problem I had. Both encouraged me to file a lawsuit. Don listened to my issues and then explained to me while I had an excellent case that we could probably win, I would most likely just break even financially. Along with that there would be l...ots of stress and frustration. If you are looking for someone to tell you the truth regarding your situation, Don is the guy. Next time I find myself needing a lawyer, Don will be who I go with.

My experience with Mr. Don Campbell

Mr. Campbell is my lawyer for my Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. If you need to file for bankruptcy and you live in Arkansas you should call him first. I spoke with several firms before I called him and was told by one to give up and walk away from the home I raised my children in, when I told him that t...hey would not listen or help me he said that he would make them listen and he DID. I am still in MY home today and that was 3 years ago. He will walk you through every step of the way. Please give him a call it is a call that you will never regret making. Don't let where you live in Arkansas keep you from calling him I do not live near Little Rock and yet he was still able to help me.

Totally pleased client

I highly recommend Donald Campbell as an attorney for any person who seeks an attorney with integrity, knowledge of the law, and professional courtesy. His knowledge of the law greatly benefited my case. He was easily accessible to answer any questions for me, as well as, explain the legal process as... my case progressed. I highly recommend Donald Campbell if you are searching for an attorney because I think he is the BEST!!!!!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He completely understood my question and what needed to be done

I have had peace of mind ever since I got his answer that paved the way for me to not lose my rights in a real estate foreclosure that I should have waited to go bankrupt after the property sold and even the time for being a resident in Arkansas was not reached when another lawyer said I didn't nee...d to wait to go bankrupt-- even with all that against me, I am relying on DKC III's advice to help me not have lien or lose this house or garnishment of social security and pension either ( since am unable to work while my husband is quadriplegic the past 3 years with a breathing tube, feeding tube) we would've suffered even more tragedy!. God Bless DKC III and Avvo
