He has maintained a general civil and criminal litigation practice, specializing primarily in matrimonial and appellate matters. He has participated in scores (if not hundreds) of bench and jury trials in Connecticut’s state and federal courts, on a wide variety of complicated family, civil, administrative and criminal matters.

In 2005, Campbell was named the winner of the Judge Maxwell Heiman Award by the Hartford County Bar Association. The award is given annually to the Hartford County attorney in the first ten years of practice who best demonstrates the high standards of legal scholarship and ethics exemplified by the late jurist. In 2002, Campbell was named a “New Leader of Law” by the Connecticut Law Tribune newspaper for his contributions to the development of the law. In November of 2004, Campbell was selected as a James W. Cooper Fellow by the Connecticut Bar Foundation. Selection as a Fellow requires demonstrated superior legal ability and devotion to the welfare of the community, state and nation, as well as to the advancement of the legal profession.

In 2007, he was selected to serve as a Special Master in Hartford’s Early Intervention Program, which was established to identify and resolve high-conflict custody matters. In 2009, Campbell was elected to the Board of Director’s of the Children’s Law Center, which provides pro bono or low cost legal representation to children of impoverished families in contested custody cases.
