There is perhaps nothing more frightening than to be confronted by seemingly insurmountable debts and taxes that threaten to ruin your family and/or your business.  This is particularly true as we emerge from this recession.  I have been representing my clients in bankruptcy law since 1978.  I am a certified bankruptcy specialist by the State Bar of Arizona.  I am a recognized member of the Order of Protectors of Consumer Debtors by the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.  Whether it is a personal bankruptcy or a reorganization to save your business, I can help you through this difficult time to give you the fresh start you and your family or business need.  I also help clients deal with the Internal Revenue Service and the Arizona Department of Revenue regarding past due taxes.  We are flooded these days with advertisements from out of state firms claiming to know the secrets of how to deal with your tax problems.  Unfortunately, most of these firms are scams with no accountability to you.  I am an ARIZONA attorney representing ARIZONA clients so I am always here and accountable.  I have assembled a great staff to give you the best representation possible.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Harold is the best!
Finding yourself in a situation where Bankruptcy is your best option is not fun. Harold showed me the options I had. Explained the long and short term of each choice, and assisted me to the right choice for me. I have referred many people to him through the years, and will continue to do so. He made what could have been very emotionally challenging simple and safe.

Completely satisfied
I had a small case compared to most of what Mr. Campbell would deal with, fighting a Chapter 11 in which I would have ended up being a claimant. Mr. Campbell got it dismissed and sent back to the court in which it should have been taken care of originally. His communications with me were clear, straightforward, and very pleasant and understanding. He made me feel confident that I was in safe hands. After my divorce I will likely need more legal financial guidance and wouldn't consider going to another attorney. Thank you, Mr. Campbell.

Bankruptcy
Harold Campbell is awesome! He made my bankruptcy case.easy for me. He was always there to assist me with questions and inquiries, even on a Sunday! A true professional and an all around great person. I also interacted with Danielle and Kelly who were wonderful to work with. They all made my situation seem not as bad as they assisted me through this hard time.

Even Better Than I Had Hoped For
I chose to contact Harold Campbell because he is certified as a bankruptcy specialist by the Arizona State Bar. Since I serve attorneys as a consultant and expert, I know how important this rarefied distinction is. Often, attorneys who specialize in a different area of law decide to add bankruptcy to their service menu as an additional revenue source. I wanted someone that I trusted as an expert in their field. Hal Campbell is that expert. My initial call to Mr. Campbell was just for advice. I received excellent information that included changes in the law, what my options were, and the pros and cons of the various options that were open to me. I learned a lot and was able to make an informed decision that included engaging Mr. Campbell’s services. I was not disappointed. In fact, the service I received from Hal and his staff was even better than what I had hoped for throughout the entire successful process. My advice for anyone experiencing financial difficulty is to contact Hal now to find out what your options are before you unknowingly dig yourself into a deeper hole. Immediate relief is possible.

A beautiful man
I came to discuss a will. Harold began our meeting by singing me a Beatles song. He offered me some jolly ranchers and then we got down to business. Harold then invited me to play a game of chess. I politely declined and he said he understood. The will took about two hours to hammer everything out, but Harold only charged me for 45 minutes. I thought that was very gracious of him. As I was leaving Harold asked me if I'd like to listen to him play the guitar. I accepted and was pleasantly surprised at how good he was. It was a great experience. I told Harold that I plan to recommend him to all my friends. Harold truly knows his stuff...and he's a sensational singer with a golden voice.

Response from Harold Campbell June 7, 2021
Thank you for the review. However, I believe this review was meant for another office. Although I do play the guitar, I do not keep it at the office and my voice is certainly not golden. As much as I would like to claim this victory for myself, I want to make sure that the correct Harold gets the proper recognition. Have a wonderful day!

Awesome!!!
It was a great pleasure working with Mr.Campbell and staff through my Ch 7 Bankruptcy!! Mr. Campbell is very professional, thorough, efficient, super helpful, kind, friendly, very knowledgeable...and the list goes on...he definitely knows his stuff!! The staff Kelly and Danielle were just as awesome! Going through a bankruptcy is hard enough, having this team by my side along the way made things easier and had many moments of relief thanks to their help! I’m so very grateful for Mr. Campbell and the rest of the team for all the time and help they’ve provided and I recommend them 1000% to anyone who is needing a bankruptcy lawyer.

Hal Campbell is thorough, straight forward, and gets things done. I always felt he had my best interest at heart. He was empathetic, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. His staff, Kelly and Danielle, were exceptional. I am appreciative of being treated so kindly through a difficult period in my life. I highly recommend Hal, Kelly, and Danielle, to anyone who needs help when filing for bankruptcy.

Wonderful Man!
If you're not sure what to do, talk to Mr. Campbell. Make an appointment. Kelly answers the phones, she has to be the nicest person I've ever met in an office setting. She told me what I needed to hear, I wasn't a failure because my finances got out of control and that it happens to a lot of people but the important thing was, is that I was getting a hold on it. I was in tears talking to her and wasn't when I got done. She likes her boss and after talking to him, you will feel the same way. He is loud and calm at the same time. He wasn't interested in me filing a bankruptcy if I had other choices, he made me aware of those other choices. I am so greatful for the time Mr. Campbell took to talk with me and I look forward to working with him and his whole office to get this part of my life back on track.

Very Professional and Always Available
Mr. Campbell was terrific to work with on our chapter 13 bankruptcy. He is a true professional and so is everyone on his staff. Every question we had about the process, or every question we had as we proceeded through the Chapter 13, Mr. Campbell always called us back personally, emailed us, or had one of his office staff contact us. I strongly recommend Mr. Campbell!!

A True Professional
After me and my wife made the trying decision to file for bankruptcy, and hire a lawyer, the search was on for the right person. After doing a bit of research, we set up an initial consultation with an attorney. Unfortunately, we were not very impressed with him, and he more or less agreed he was not the right fit. We are grateful, however, that he directed us to Harold Campbell. I knew after only a few minutes that we were dealing with the right person and firm. As the saying goes "there's no substitute for experience" and this was exactly the case. Shortly after the initial consultation, the whole pandemic issue started and I wondered how this would affect the process with meetings and proceeding in a timely fashion, etc. To my surprise, it didn't have any effect on seeing it through until the discharge due to his expertise and with the help of his fine staff, namely Danielle & Kelly. If you're looking for an expert attorney, and for the process to go as smoothly as possible, then I wouldn't look any further. Sincerely, Bob T. Maricopa, AZ.

Wonderful!
I hired Mr. Campbell for my bankruptcy. From day one he walked me thru the entire process, prepared me for every last case scenario that may come up. He was wonderful to work with, I recommend him and his staff to anyone in need of an attorney. The entire team makes you feel like family and treats you “real”. It was nice to know I could call or email with as many questions or concerns and they ALL responded back quickly, made me feel important, and valued. Thanks again for everything!

Great Office - Very Knowledgeable and Caring
We have been very pleased with the Law Offices of Campbell & Coombs, P.C. Everyone in the office was always very helpful. Hal and Vanessa were always there when we had questions and returned calls and e-mails very quickly. Thanks so much for all the help and support.

Knowledgeable and thorough.
After the blonde lady on the TV couldn't handle the case and kept $1,000 of our money, I was referred to Mr. Campbell by a third-party attorney who stated the law offices of Campbell and Coombs would be the best representation. He was correct.

Personable, Kind, and Knowledgeable
Dealing with Bankruptcy is awful. I felt great shame. After meeting with Mr. Campbell, I felt a glimmer of hope, he assured me I could, in fact, get past this awful time in my life. Mr. Campbell was very supportive at the hearing and prepared me well to face the court representatives. He is an outstanding attorney.

Smart, effective and terrific service
Harold Campbell is my attorney for a chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization involving my medical practice. Through his efforts and work we were able to salvage the practice, reorganize and reduce debt and most importantly be in a position to continue to care for our wonderful patients. Without his help and advocacy - I am convinced we would have had to close the practice and start over. I advise any professional who is contemplating bankruptcy to call on him for his terrific service.

Harold Campbell is awesome; but his paralegal was enough to make me go elsewhere had I known earlier
Hal is very knowledgeable and easy to work with himself. However this process was an absolute nightmare and I did not feel supported or informed during the BK process and it was extremely stressful. I had to constantly ask questions and follow up on things myself. The paralegal Vanessa, came to both of my meetings in gym clothes and ear buds in. Being a professional office handling my financial life, this is unacceptable and definitely diminishes my trust in her to handle my affairs. She was curt and provided zero comfort to me. If you have never had to file BK yourself, there may be a lack of care of understanding of how it feels to do and the immense amount of stress one is under while and during the entire process. There could have been an effort to let me know what was happening and why, what to expect, etc. But there was none of that. I understand the Mr Campbell is extremely busy and he warned me about that, I can appreciate that for sure- but I expected his staff to be kind, helpful and polite. The assistant Danielle was wonderful and very kind as was the front desk person Kelly. This was an awful awful experience and could have certainly been made easier by a kinder paralegal and been less stressful if I had been informed better about the process and how things would work. I had to go to court twice and both times I had no idea who was meeting me there or when they would be there. I had to call the office both times to see what was going on while I was already stressed about the hearing. This is unacceptable in my book.

"I have known Hal for many years. As a peer the highest form of flattery is to have him on my referral list. There are a few attorneys who I will refer potential clients to. In order to be on my very short referral list: They must be more than extremely competent. They must care about their clients. They must be committed to the maintaining the professionalism of the law. Lastly, they must be very nice people. Hal exemplifies each of these characteristics. He is a mentor to many, including me. I have never heard a negative statement from any of his clients. The judges hold him in the highest regard, as do his fellow peers."
