John Andrew Campanella

If you find yourself in the unfamiliar world of the judicial system, you need someone on your side, working with you, that has lived and breathed in that world for the last 30 years. I found myself reeling from a DUI charge. I had no recollection of anything that happened that day as I was concussed ...after I came off my motorcycle when my back tire blew out. I was ambulanced to the hospital with injuries and woke up with a DUI citation hanging from my hospital bed. Bummer. Once released, I researched extensively online. I asked almost every major AI (Gemini, ChatGPT, Anthropic, and Grok) for information on what I should do and who I should contact for help. There were 2 things that ALL of the AIs had in common. The first thing they ALL said was to get a lawyer. Do not go this alone. The second, ALL of them had in common was the name John Campanella listed as a DUI lawyer recommendation. I looked him up. He had the experience (30 years), he had excellent client reviews, he seemed to have the knowledge, and honestly, I liked his look. So, I called his office and left a message regarding my situation. I was shocked to receive a call from Mr. Campanella about 5 minutes after I left my message. He showed kindness, compassion, and understanding, which is what I needed after this traumatizing event. I was impressed by his quick reply and attention to my case. He gave me advice and asked questions about what I could remember and what steps I have taken so far. And this was all before I hired him as my lawyer! He was far and away my first choice and agreed to take my case. Mr. Campanella and his right-hand man Aaron then informed me of the process. They told me when I needed to be at court and when I didn’t, explained my rights, answered my questions, helped me obtain evidence, and most importantly knew the law as it pertains to anything DUI related. I must admit, I was down on my chances heading into our hearing. But John and Aaron told me to stay positive. We went into court and what I witnessed next from Mr. Campanella, I can only liken to sitting courtside in Chicago 1991 and watching Michael Jordan play basketball. It was amazing. The court room was his court. I could see his eyes grow wide as he listened to the prosecutor and officer speak. He would feverishly scribble into his note pad as the prosecutor spoke. And when it was his turn to speak, he made his point, there was no denying his knowledge or argument. He would rattle off Titles, Sections, Articles, Objections, and Subsections off the top of his head. Incredibly impressive. I went into court that day prepared for the worst. I walked out with a Motion to Suppress GRANTED! That would not have happened without John Campanella and Aaron. That’s real talk. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation to this team.

There is a first time for everything phrase that I will make sure of for this instance of my DUI, that said, I spoke to several local DUI attorneys for consultations and fee inquiries ;Mr. Campanella was the one whom called me back after business hours and spent quite a bit of time discussing my situ...ation and what the steps are in this state to get back on the road as well as how up coming hearings and court fees etc may entail. He was very helpful, highly knowledgeable and extremely compassionate. I felt like he was speaking to me as an individual not just another “statistic”. He was not pushy, quite the opposite. Forthcoming and again very personal in regards to his concern about my situation. I spoke with a few other DUI attorneys after ward and decided that John Campanella was the best fit for me. His fee is extremely fair but moreover, his ability to work for you is paramount. I can not express my gratitude to him and Aaron during this whole ordeal. They responded and represented me with diligence, dignity and determination to keep me from jail, let me stay on the road and never had to see a court room. John and Aaron walked me through all the steps and kept me in the loop and more importantly let me have a say or ask questions in all the information relayed or not comprehended by me without making me feel disrespected. He was able to lower my fines, reduce conviction and sentencing and provided me with so many resources for DUI classes, SR22 company, IID install and has been here for me during this whole time offering support and the team will call or text or email back with a quickness if they do not answer the phone right away. I can not thank him and his colleague Aaron enough for the time they have spent with my case. I am fortunate to have called around and then followed my intuition to hire Mr. Campanella. I highly recommend John to represent anyone in a situation that needs immediate intervention for a DUI with Professionalism, Integrity and Enthusiasm to get to work for you straight away! Many Thanks ~Kat

I cannot thank and talk highly enough of John. I made a huge mistake and got behind the wheel after I had been drinking. I felt ashamed and full of regret. John was extremely clear and to the point and explained in detail what to expect and how he was going to help. He never made me feel judged, but ...made me feel like we were on the same team. John handled everything from the arrest to the DMV to the court hearing and everything in between and after. John was always very available and would answer phone calls, texts, emails and help with any questions very quickly. I had a great experience with John and highly recommend him. Thank you again!!

I’m 53 years old and have over 25 career years as a first responder. Embarrassingly, I was arrested for my first DUI and I was faced with the devastating possibility to an end of my over 25 year career. I had never been on this side of the fence and I was so afraid and desperate, unsure what to do an...d who to turn to for legal advice. I called everyone and even turned to the public defenders office to find the best DUI attorney in town. I spoke with a lady and she told me, “If I had to hire someone, the best is Mr. John Campanella”. I made the call, explained my situation and hired Mr. Campanella. From day one, he confidently guided me through the entire legal process (case review, DMV, hearings, police reports, court, etc.) Facing my all important DMV hearing, I was up against a one year license suspension and a loss of the hearing would mean the end of my career. Mr. Campanella handled the hearing like an expert, guiding me every step of the way. After a hard fought battle, I was amazed to discover I won my DMV hearing and kept my drivers license. This was only the beginning of the good news for me. John continued guiding me through the entire legal process like a true professional. In the end, I was able to keep my drivers license and my 25 year first responder career. John Campanella never gave up on me and I can honestly say he truly does care about his clients. I can’t tell you in how many ways that this experience has changed my life. I now have over 2 years of sobriety and a new outlook on my career and life. Hiring John Campanella was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, he saved my career and changed my life. John is the best DUI attorney around!

I was arrested for a DUI with injury--a felony. I was also alleged to have refused a chemical test, an additional allegation that results in a one-year driver's license suspension. I immediately called John, as he has a reputation for being the best in DUI law. I can now affirm his reputation is n...ot only accurate, but understated. He is the most knowledgeable, assertive, yet kind attorney I have ever encountered. In speaking with him, it was evident he was an expert in DUI. Most importantly, he was creative. He not only knew the law, but he knew how to use it. Ultimately, John took an otherwise hopeless refusal DUI case and turned it into a victory. He saved my license. In doing so, he saved my employment and dignity. He handled the entire matter with compelling professionalism and understanding. I am still in awe of this result. Thank you, John. You are truly the best.
