David Campbell is an experienced criminal defense attorney who has spent the last ten years dedicated to the legal profession. David began his career in 2013 as a legal assistant at a law firm in Phoenix, Arizona, handling juvenile delinquency and dependency matters. From there, in 2016, David moved to Washington, D.C., to coordinate Arizona State University’s International Rule of Law & Security Program, where he was responsible for organizing and executing legal education and development programs domestically and internationally.
In 2018, David returned to Arizona to attend law school at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. While in law school, David became a Certified Limited Practice Student and began providing limited legal services through the Arizona Legal Center, a non-profit legal services organization, and post-conviction relief services through the Arizona State University Post-Conviction Clinic. In 2021, after graduating from law school, David began his career in criminal defense. David has handled hundreds of felony criminal cases from pre-file through plea negotiations and sentencing. David’s extensive experience ultimately led him to DM Cantor, where he was hired as an Associate Criminal Defense Attorney and is now a member of our Pre-Charge team.
David’s desire to become a criminal defense attorney comes from his belief that all people should be treated with the highest level of dignity, respect, and compassion while they navigate one of the most challenging times of their lives. David is dedicated to helping alleviate the stress, confusion, and uncertainty of the criminal justice system for his clients, no matter the accusation and no matter their personal circumstances.
Outside of law, David spends much of his free time engaged in wildlife photography, focusing primarily on birds.
