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.

excellent

We have been very pleased with Joe and his supporting team at SA. Joe helped us complete our company formation & associated legal work (distribution of stock, employment agreements, etc), structure and close a first round of financing, and develop client contracts. On every project he has been fair, ...accommodating to our needs, and highly responsive. Joe takes a personal interest in helping clients build a successful business that goes beyond the execution of legal work. Therefore, we trust Joe both as a legal adviser and business adviser.

Thorough, trustworthy, and pragmatic

I had the need to find legal advice for issues with a startup I had co-founded. I knew Joe from a startup I'd worked for previously, and I contacted him to get perspective on my situation. He was able to quickly understand the context, and put together a plan of attack for solving these issues. ... He put together a team of legal help, which carried me through the litigation process, and we were able to come out with a successful result. I will continue to use Joe for all business-related issues for my new company, and couldn't recommend anyone more highly. He has a great pragmatic perspective on business practices, and is able to quickly explain all sides of any issue.

Joe Campos was and is invaluable to our business operation. We came to Joe with an idea and a goal and Joe worked the details every step of the way. Both Joe and his support staff are second to none when it comes to being responsive to our needs and taking the time to educate us. If it wasn't for Joe... Campos we would still be working on a "plan". Instead, we are working on our 3rd offering. I would recommend Joe Campos to anyone looking for a top notch attorney.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
