Colin Campbell

– PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY –

Colin Campbell began his career working as an attorney for insurance companies. After several years, he decided that he was more at home on the other side of the courtroom, where he could help regular people as opposed to trying to save insurance companies money. Since that time, he has been able to utilize the knowledge and experience he gained on the defense side to help his clients achieve justice.

Colin has tried many personal injury cases in the various counties of Western and Central New York and has an established reputation as a successful and effective trial lawyer. He regularly receives recognition as one of the very top personal attorneys in the area by such organizations as Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers and Avvo.

Colin has also obtained the highest rating for legal ability and ethics from Martindale-Hubble.  This is the “AV” or “Preeminent” rating which is based on the opinions of judges and other attorneys and signifies that he is ranked at the highest level of professional excellence.

In the past twenty years, Colin has recovered many millions of dollars for hundreds of clients in nine different counties in New York.

Many of those cases were referred to him by other attorneys and by former clients.
