John Andrew Campanella

Mr John Campanella provided his services and advice according to my best interest. He answered each of my questions and concerns and was available when called upon. His fees were more affordable than some of other DUI lawyers I called. John represented me at the court on my behalf as I was living ...out of state. John is very pleasant to speak with and I fully trusted him to give the right advice as more conversations took place. I fully recommend John Campanella to represent anyone else who is looking for affordable, dependable, highly professional, and exceptional knowledge of laws in California.

After consulting with at least 3 other attorneys I decided to have John Campanella represent me in court. Although he specializes in DUI's he made me feel very confident in his ability to represent me for a No drive DUI case in which I had two CHP testifying against me in court. Mr. Campanella's expe...rtise was very evident every time I was with him in the courthouse. He kept me in the loop with all e-mails to and from the DA. He shot me straight in every situation and I never felt like he was blowing smoke. John knew many investigators and experts which were very important to my defense through both trials. The first trial ended up with a hung jury. I was soo satisfied with my representation that I retained Mr. Campanella for a second trial in which he brought an even stronger case to my defense and I ended up having my case dismissed. I cannot explain how lucky I was to have the experience and professionalism that Mr. Campanella provided through one of the darkest parts of my life. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is unfortunate enough to get wrapped up in the legal system.

I called his office the day after I was citied for a DUI in February 2015. I used this website to find a really capable lawyer to take my case, because a convicted DUI would have me fired from my government job. Mr. Campanella managed to persuade the district attorney to throw out my case ENTIRELY o...n the grounds of insufficient evidence. I paid him only to cover court cost, however he went out of his way to ensure my career was not in jeopardy. He produced several letters regarding my case to my supervisors to secure my career status was not impacted in any negative way. I feel extremely thankful to Mr. Campanella. I can not thank him enough for sucessfuly guiding to safety because of my irresponsible mistake. He is someone you can trust not only for his extreme legal knowledge and experience, but for his great character as well. Thank you, John Campanella.

I had never been in any kind of trouble with the law. This was my first DUI and I had no idea what to expect. I had a high blood alcohol level and hit another car from behind - thankfully no one was seriously hurt but I definitely committed a serious crime and could have killed someone. From the beg...inning, John was very kind, compassionate and very honest about what could happen as a result of my DUI. I know that he looked at every single aspect for my best defense and was very good at persistently working with the judge and the DA in my best interest. I had no idea how hard the whole legal system could be with a first offense. When I questioned him about the possible effects a DUI could have on my job as a professional, he answered all of my questions to the best of his knowledge and then took time to research my situation for more information (calling colleagues and researching past cases and the laws). The judge was very hard on my and pretty much said she wanted to make an example of me because of my position. She sentenced me to 6 months in jail and 5 years probation. I ended up serving 30 days in jail and another 60 days with an ankle monitor. I was able to keep my job. When I was later hit by duplicate charges for restitution, John persistently presented my case to the DA until it was finally shown that all charges had already been paid by my insurance. This took 5 more appearances in court - John had all the patience. When I first met John, he honestly told me that dealing with this problem was going to be hard and that my case could go many different ways. He also told me that we would get through and it could be life changing in positive ways. He was right. I have survived all of this and I do believe I am a much better person as a result. I am very thankful that I had John to help me through.

Personally I would never write a review about anything in general but this time I had too. I have absolutely no regrets what so ever in hiring John, none. He pulled through with everything he said he would and I am extremely grateful and pleased with his performance and the outcome with my case. I w...ould highly recommend John he is extremely knowledgeable and his experience as a lawyer is indescribable. He handled my case professionally and at the same he kept me informed every step of the way and explained the process of a DUI in a way that was easy to understand and would constantly keep in contact with me to let me know what was going on with my case. He is the best attorney you could hope for when dealing with DUI's. The whole time he was patient and persistent, and eventually got my charge negotiated down to a wet reckless. I didn’t have to do work service, have an ignition interlock requirement, or anything like that, I was very happy about that. He will take care of everything for you, and make the process completely stress-free makes it all worth it. All I can say is that he went to great lengths to help me in my time of need and he's worth every cent. Thank you.
