Law Excellence
When I called Campbell Whitten I spoke to both Jesse and Sam, after describing our very difficult double felony situation they referred me to Clayton Campbell. Clayton listened and explained the complexities of the law he told me that what we were trying to do was almost impossible but he was "cautiously optimistic" that it could be accomplished. Clayton was always available, his secretary Kylie was very kind and helpful. We had many phone conferences. He was always sure that we were informed as to the status of the case. After several months and much work by Clayton we went to court for sentencing and the very best possible outcome was given. I would say that Clayton went above and beyond for his client. Clayton Campbell is a fine attorney, he knows the law and how to use it to best serve his clients. His brief to the court was brilliant. Having dealt with many attorneys over the years I would categorically state the Clayton Campbell is the finest attorney that I have ever met. He is personable, caring and extremely professional. I highly recommend Clayton Campbell and sincerely thank him for all of his efforts.

excellent lawyer
Clayton Campbell is an excellent lawyer, i couldn't have asked for a better PD. I never felt as if he was working with the DA at any point at all. He was always on call no matter what I needed, no matter how many times or how much time went by. He made a personal connection with me and made me feel as if he really cared for my future and freedom, not as if i was just another case. He handled my case for me and helped me walk away from a 5 year sentence to summary probation and classes. I highly recommend him to anyone ! The absolute best !

No nonsense, confident, takes charge in the court room
Clayton Campell represented me in a very serious felony vandelism, felony burglary, and mis domestic violence case. Mr campbell was allways accessable to me. I have had other local lawyers and I allways felt like they had some connection or understanding with the prosecuting attorneys. I never felt that with clayton he never backs down. He was allways prepared and never caught off guard. I am completly satisfied with the outcome of my case. ( mis vandelism a small fine informal probation) If ever i am facing charges again Clayton is the first one I would call.
