Highly Recommend

had the pleasure of finding Mr. Campos after I originally went to Suzuki Law Firm in Phoenix, AZ. I spent almost a year of my life with Suzuki Law Firm — a year I won’t get back — dealing with poor communication and feeling like my case wasn’t moving anywhere. The difference with Mr. Campos was immed...iate. From day one, the communication, transparency, and genuine advocacy I received from Mr. Campos were outstanding. He not only took the time to understand my situation, but he told my story in a way no one else ever had. Because of his hard work, commitment, and professionalism, he was able to secure an outcome the other firm couldn’t even come close to: I went from an 18-month prison plea to probation with no jail time. To put that into perspective, my charges were prison mandatory since I was already on probation when the new charges happened — many of which occurred during active addiction and surfaced after I’d been sober for two years. Even with all that stacked against me, he fought for me. He advocated for my recovery, my progress, and who I am today. At sentencing, not only did the judge praise me, but even the prosecutor shook my hand. That moment said everything about how well Mr. Campos represented me. This man truly saved me from prison. He fought like hell for me, and I will never forget it. A huge thank you to Robert and Mary for their excellent service, professionalism, and follow-through over the past year. I am beyond grateful. Highly recommend.

He was always available. He made me feel like I was family. He made me feel valued, comfortable, & confident throughout the entire process. He visited me & explained the legal complexities in a way I could easily understand. After 20 years in prison, thanks to Mr. Campos dedication, effort, & long grueling hard work I was given time served I'm so grateful for Mr. Campos & his staff for their commitment on my case.

A True Man of his Word

We searched and searched for an attorney that would help us with a Rule 32 Appeal Case. After talking with several firms, we felt the most comfortable going with Robert J. Campos & Associates, P.L.C. in Phoenix, AZ. He reviewed our case and felt confident from the start that he/we could win. Two year...s later, our loved one that was serving a life sentence in prison with no chance of parole was released after 19+ years in prison. Mr. Campos is a man of his word. He will fight for you and your family like you were his own. He always kept us in the loop and was always on top of things. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. Mr. Campos is a top notch attorney. He did the impossible for us, and we will be forever grateful for him and his staff. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you...you have found him.

Let's call him Mr. Compassion!

I would recommend Mr. Campos over and over again. He is not only a well educated attorney, he holds compassion, and when he commits to his case he is all in. He treated his client and our family with respect. The system failed my brother n law. My brother n law spent nearly 20 yrs in prison. Mr. C...ampos took his case, long story short my brother n law became a free man. When shopping for an attorney you look at things like how many cases has he taken, how many has he won, what kind of cases and so on. Mr. Campos delivered. He was not only a wonderful attorney, he became so much more.
