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 superior 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 before 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 negotiations, 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.
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 transaction, 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.

The Right Advice Amid the Fog of War
Joseph Campos has the knack. He did an extraordinary job of listening to what I really wanted and maintained those goals amongst changes in the situation. He guided me through the process and told me what to expect and when to expect it. He lead me through the 'fog of war' as he called it and helped me find the path. He helped me tip toe when needed and knew when to ride in guns blazing. He was always available, even on his cell phone when he was on vacation for a few days with his family. His response to emails was lightening quick-as things progressed in real time it was almost like instant chat. Joe has the ability to lean hard on the other side and explain how things are going to be. He always allowed me to make the final revisions, final choices while providing advice on what choice to make only when I asked him for it. He has great confidence and skill but not an ego. He stays on task all the time and always gets it done the right way, the first time. I would not go to another Lawyer for any future similar situations. Joe is by far the best Lawyer in Seattle.

Free consultation
My partner and I are in the process of developing a business and Joseph was more than happy to provide a free consultation. We had met with other attorneys but Joseph stood out in that he did a bit of research that indicated our business plan had some major legal obstacles if we continued down the path we were on. The other attorneys we met with weren't able to provide such definitive examples.

Review of Joe Campos
I am pleased to recommend Joe. He has provided excellent counsel to me over the years. Joe is a natural leader who consistently demonstrates an impeccable work ethic in all that he does. He leads by example as one who possesses the rare combination of a “think-tank” attitude, while exhibiting a meticulous and strategic approach, handling a number of legal matters for my company.
Joe’s support of my company and local community, as well as his ability to consistently lead by example, made me feel well taken care of as a client. As an executive, I know what it takes to be a leader. Joe impressed me from day one as an attorney who not only educates his clients, but who also has the ability to accurately forecast the necessary groundwork required today for success tomorrow. His talents in leadership and strategic planning, as well as his inherent knowledge of corporate law, make Joe an invaluable business partner to any organization, large or small.

Top Notch
I was extremely pleased with the way Joe handled my issue. He was always able to see a number of moves ahead and plan accordingly. I am very impressed with both Joe and his staff and highly recommend them.

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.

Rest Assured - You'll be in great hands!
We needed an attorney to assist in ending a business partnership. Researching firms online I came across Stanislaw Ashbaugh and was lucky enough to be put in touch with Joe. Upon our first meeting with him I found him to be very professional, forthright, personable and extremely experienced and educated with respect to the type of legal counsel we were seeking. Throughout the process of ending the partnership, he was thorough, communication was constant, and he was a force to be reckoned with while negotiating the terms of the agreement. I only wish Joe practiced all types of law as he is someone who I would want representing me in any situation as he is, without a doubt, an attorney I highly regard and recommend.

Keeps on ticking
We first worked with Joe in 2002 while we were in the midst of a tricky tenant-landlord dispute. Joe was extremely diligent in his resolution of this issue for us, and we enjoyed results far beyond our expectations. Over the years that followed, he has helped us with merger and acquisition issues, as well as provided us with day-to-day legal consel. Each experience with Joe and his firm, Stanislaw-Ashbaugh, has been positive, enjoyable, and entirely successful. As a result of his advise and expertise, not only were we able to avoid bankruptcy, but over the past five years our business has grown more than 300%.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Joe works harder for his clients than most lawyers I know. He is creative and smart, and he can find an angle in cases where other lawyers would stop looking. He also knows how to gather a team together to bring the skills a client needs."
