Great Listener

My mom died, and I needed help transferring her property to my sisters and me. I was in charge, and I learned that mom's first attorney had made some mistakes. I found Paul's website, made an appointment, and met with him. Wow! He explained what was wrong, gave me an estimate of what he thought... it would cost to clean things up, and wouldn't even take a check on the spot. He told me he waits a couple of days, so that people won't feel pressured. The best part is that he actually listened to me. He didn't talk down to me. He even explained some pretty complicated things to me without using a bunch of legalese. I was really impressed with Paul. If more lawyers were like him, maybe people wouldn't make so many jokes about them.

Probate lawyer | Jun 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Paul V.L. Campo is a warrior, a scholar and a gentleman. You would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable, experienced, capable, skilled, engaged and thorough attorney. He is a true professional. He is formidable as an opponent and a strong advocate on behalf of his clients. Paul provides expert legal representation. His knowledge of Probate, Trust and Estate law including the nuances of guardianships and conservatorships that tend to elude the attorneys that do not specialize in these fields is unparalleled. Hard to find a better attorney within his respective areas of law."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
