Origin
Nearly Five Decades in Bankruptcy Law
Harold E. Campbell III earned his J.D. from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, was admitted to the State Bar of Arizona in 1977, and has practiced bankruptcy law since 1978 — one of the longer continuous bankruptcy-practice tenures among Arizona attorneys covered in this series. He is a Certified Bankruptcy Law Specialist under the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization, a credential this profile verified through the Board’s own program materials before using the word “specialist” to describe him. In 2005, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) inducted him into its “Order of Protectors of Consumer Debtors,” a recognition tied to consumer-debtor advocacy specifically.
Practice
Consumer and Small-Business Debt Relief, Plus Tax Problem Resolution
The firm’s stated practice covers Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 13 repayment plans, and Chapter 11 reorganization for individuals and small businesses, along with tax debt resolution involving the IRS and the Arizona Department of Revenue. One third-party directory entry describes Mr. Campbell’s caseload as including both debtor and creditor representation; the weight of his own public-facing materials, his NACBA consumer-debtor honor, and his firm’s own marketing emphasize consumer and small-business debtor representation as the primary focus, and this profile treats that as the firm’s principal identity while noting the mixed-representation reference as a caveat for the record.
Track Record
Individual case results in bankruptcy practice are not typically published as settlement or verdict figures the way they are in personal injury litigation, since outcomes are governed by federal bankruptcy code provisions (discharge, plan confirmation, etc.) rather than negotiated monetary recoveries. No independent case-result table was located for this firm in the sources reviewed.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
One attributed Avvo review, from a client who described himself as an attorney consultant and expert who specifically sought out a board-certified bankruptcy specialist, stated that Mr. Campbell provided “excellent information” on legal options and delivered service “even better than what I had hoped for throughout the entire successful process.” No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed; that reflects the public record available, not a claim of an unblemished history.
Community
Mr. Campbell is described in his own materials as an active mentor to newer bankruptcy attorneys, and holds ongoing memberships in NACBA and the American Bankruptcy Institute — professional-community involvement distinct from his direct client caseload.
Recognition
Mr. Campbell’s Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certification as a bankruptcy specialist was verified against the Board’s own bankruptcy-specialization program materials prior to publication. His 2005 NACBA “Order of Protectors of Consumer Debtors” induction is a peer/organizational recognition tied specifically to consumer-debtor advocacy, distinct from a pay-to-play marketing award.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Bankruptcy is exclusively a matter of federal law, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona under Title 11 of the U.S. Code. Arizona law still matters within a bankruptcy case chiefly through its exemption statutes — which property a debtor may keep — set out in A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 8, and debtors filing in Arizona may generally choose between the federal exemption scheme and Arizona’s own state-law exemptions, subject to bankruptcy code eligibility rules.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Campbell & Coombs’ genuine differentiator is Harold Campbell’s verified Board of Legal Specialization certification combined with nearly 50 years of continuous bankruptcy practice — a credential and tenure combination relatively few Arizona bankruptcy attorneys can match. The honest caveat: at least one third-party directory describes his caseload as including creditor representation alongside debtor work, which is worth disclosing plainly even though the preponderance of his public-facing recognition (NACBA’s consumer-debtor honor chief among it) points toward a consumer-debtor-focused practice.
