Posted by Ashley | January 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Hard working, connected attorney

A year ago, as I made my monthly visit to my probation officer, I was arrested on charges a detective filed over a year after they had occurred. Up to this point, I had navigated the justice system myself, but now I needed to find a knowledgeable attorney for these new charges, as they were serious a...nd I was already on probation. I had finally turned my life around, working two jobs and mentoring recovering addicts when i was taken down to county on these charges. I called my mother with my free phone call and she contacted and hired Robert J. Campos. Campos was so dedicated, he showed up at my arraignment, which is the first time you see the judge after an arrest. I was the only defendant, out of at least thirty, that had an attorney actually show up at this stage of the proceedings. He fought hard to get me a bond my family could afford so I would not lose my jobs and would have a chance to fight these charges outside a jail cell. Campos attended every other court date I had after my release. My first plea offer was in the ballpark of 8-16 years prison time. Campos fiercely negotiated with prosecutors and made strong arguments to the judge. Ultimately, I ended up signing a plea for 6 months jail time with work release so I did not have to throw away the life I had fought so hard to start building up after my first arrest. I am forever grateful to Robert Campos and recommend him to anyone looking for a hardworking, understanding, connected attorney! Thank you Mr. Campos!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Robert Campos without reservation. I have know Robert for nearly 13 years. I have done trials with him, and I have also seen how he works his cases. If you have an appeal or a case you want to take to trial, Robert is a criminal law specialist and one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Arizona. He is not afraid to fight for what is right or to take matters to trial when necessary. I would hire Robert for any close friend or family member if I ever needed to. Not only do I know he would never leave any stone unturned but he is very honest, trustworthy and demonstrates true compassion above and beyond other lawyers. He sincerely cares about those he represents and defends."
