Some of the matters we handle are:

  • DUI Defense: A DUI arrest puts your license, your finances, and your record on the line — often with tight deadlines to act. Justin Campbell challenges every part of the state's case, from the traffic stop and field sobriety tests to breath and blood evidence, and works to protect your driving privileges.
  • Felony Defense: Felony charges carry the most serious consequences, including prison time and a lasting record. With experience across the full range of felony matters, Justin builds a strategic defense aimed at protecting your freedom and your future.
  • Misdemeanor Defense: Even a misdemeanor can affect your job, your housing, and your reputation. Justin gives these cases the same careful attention as serious felonies, working to resolve them favorably and keep your record clean where possible.
  • Domestic Violence Charges: Domestic violence allegations move quickly and often come with no-contact orders that upend daily life. Justin defends clients against these charges while helping them navigate the immediate restrictions that follow an arrest.
  • Drug Offenses: From simple possession to distribution charges, drug cases turn on the details of the search, the evidence, and your rights. Justin scrutinizes how the evidence was obtained and pursues every available defense and alternative resolution.
  • Vacating Convictions & Restoring Firearm Rights: A past conviction doesn't have to define your future. Justin helps eligible clients vacate criminal convictions and restore firearm rights, opening doors to employment and opportunities a record can close.
