Client

I hired Joe Campos for a dispute filing. He was thorough, did his research, prepared me well, laid out alternatives and supported me throughout the process. He clearly identified risks and areas needing clarification. Joe is a consummate professional and works for what is right. He provided super...ior legal advice and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Extremely knowledgeable about pursuing Employment cases and a Very Helpful Attorney

I was struggling with an Employment situation which involved forged documents and communication from people purporting to be from a well-known company based in California. Joe was extremely diligent and patient about hearing all the facts and then meeting with me in person to review the documents bef...ore recommending any action against the employer. He was able to use his connections to get me in touch with the employer's legal team to sort out the issue. I didn't even have to hire him as I am now working directly with the legal team of the employer to investigate and resolve the issue. He is very knowledgeable of the means to get desired outcomes. I definitely got a lot more than what I expected out of a 30 minute consultation. Very reliable and trustworthy.

Outstanding Personal and Professional support, based on wealth of knowledge and empathy for the client's well-being

My experience working with Joseph has been excellent. He was always very supportive in listening to my thoughts to understand my perspective and then, help me to focus on the appropriate response and options based on the best outcome, devoid of emotional connotations. Joseph's thought process is ...always anchor on the best strategy to achieve the desired result, expeditiously but without appearing to the other party as insistent, impulsive, nor anxious. His creativity in answering items brought by the opposite party or to bring to them, topics described by me showed me a dexterity in communication and lexicon that finished with very positive results. Joseph's quality of work, persistence to discuss important items about my case, no only from a professional - result oriented perspective, but also from a personal - put-matter-behind-me and move-on viewpoints were very valuable; the latter was very helpful and supportive at times... In closing, the final results of my case, giving my circumstances and items involved, were very positive and positioned me in a good place for my future endeavors. In my personal and professional opinion, it would be very valuable to discuss your case with Joseph, considering him to be your legal representative or to become a member of your legal representation as his listening attributes, empathy, and persistent manner of systematically work your case, will make his hire a very positive decision on your part.

Joe has been key to helping me build my business properly

I've been working regularly with Joe for nearly 3 years. I brought him an unusual and difficult case with a great deal of past history, and he has handled all the complexities so far like a champ. He is creative, technically well-informed, and easy to work with. He has helped me handle negotiation...s, buyouts, strategic business decisions, and a wide variety of other business-building challenges that go well beyond the normal issues with handling software IP. Many times it has been uncharted territory, but Joe remains unfazed and gets us through it. Joe always makes you feel like you're his highest priority, even when you know he's got bigger stuff going on. I've really enjoyed working with him and his team.

Excellent Communicator, Smart, Responsive, Thorough

I have worked with Joe on two real estate syndications now (4Q12 and 1Q13), one in Washington, one in Utah. On the first, we did not yet know each other, but his response to my request for some work on an expedited timeframe was "sure, we can do that". We were more reasonable with our second transa...ction, but Joe's work was nearly as fast and just as complete. His work product is excellent, and he is a pleasure to work with too.
