Posted by anonymous | July 10, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great service and results.

Handled my case smoothly, received a positive result. Very professional service. Address a ticket received outside of Needles, San Bernardino Court.

Posted by anonymous | January 19, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Honest, professional and dedicated for a fair price!

After consulting with several attorneys in the region, I found Mr. Campbell was one of the few that provided with me an in-depth and honest appraisal of my traffic case. He was also by far the most reasonably priced. Throughout the case I was kept very well informed and the end result was a dismissal.... Thank you Mr. Campbell!

Don't let the misconduct/ lower rating stop you from hiring Mr Campbell

I affirm that I have no affiliation with Mr Campbell's office. My sole relationship with Mr Campbell is as his client. When I was charged with driving 102mph through Barstow (on my way home to San Diego CA from Las Vegas NV, I interviewed 5 attorneys' offices. Brian was the only attorney to actual...ly take the interview himself... all other offices were represented by sales people. This impressed me, as did his deep knowledge of the system. He told me that he had handled 100 of these type of cases over the last 2 years with a 99% charge reduction rate (102mph is a much greater charge than 100mph) (while the other offices' sales people could not offer any firm figures or stats). I asked him about the misconduct on his file, and he was happy to defend it (as he has done publicly on AVVO). Apparently it relates to an unrelated (non- traffic or criminal law) matter of many years ago which happened during period of a horrific family stress. So, I decided to remove the misconduct from my decision making and hired him above any of the other attorneys appearing at the Barstow court, including the higher rated attorneys on AVVO (as they all gave me sales people to speak with). A 102mph excessive speeding charge is still an infraction but seeks a 2 point conviction and holds a mandatory appearance. I was thankful to learn from Mr Campbell that the law allowed him to appear for me in my absence and that I would not need to return to Barstow. I trusted Mr Campbell to appear for me, and he managed the entire case in my absence. He kept me informed via email throughout his expert navigation of the system. Of course I was nervous that he might fail me because I did not know him otherwise, but I now have a letter from the court confirming that he adequately represented me and that my case was DISMISSED (ie I was found not guilty) because the charging officer failed to adequately defend the charge. I would hire Mr Campbell again and highly recommend him to others. I affirm that I have no affiliation with Mr Campbell's office. My sole relationship with Mr Campbell is as his client.

Mr. Campbell did a great job representing me!

I’m a commercial driver and needed a speeding ticket changed so that I would have a No Point violation. Mr. Campbell was able to represent me from out of state and accomplish exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Reasonably priced and responsive staff

Mr.Campbell represented me on a speeding ticket for over 100mph and a failure to appear charge. I represented myself on the same charges in Orange County with similar penalties and paid about 1/3 less by hiring Mr. Campbell to represent me in Bakersfield. Saved money and didn't have to drive to the b...oonies. Highly recommended!!

Rating:  8.0 (Excellent)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1992.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 1992

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

James’s comment:

“When my infant son suffered tremendous brain damage due to spinal menengitis, my wife was away with him for a three month period. I had to care for our four children, ages 2, 3, 4 and 10, run my practice and travel to Phoenix. I got behind and I had a complaint to the state bar regarding a civil matter. I was placed on a probation period as a result.”
