Jesse James Campbell
Attorney at Law – Licensed in Tennessee & Virginia
Jesse James Campbell is a seventh-generation Northeast Tennessean and grew up on a dairy farm in Washington County. The son of working people and the product of East Tennessee grit, he built his law practice on a simple idea - when life knocks you down, you fight back.
Jesse earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from East Tennessee State University and Tusculum University before attending the Appalachian School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor with honors. While in law school, he volunteered with the Free Legal Advice Clinic at Good Samaritan Ministries in Johnson City, helping local families find relief when they had nowhere else to turn. That experience shaped his belief that the law should protect people, not push them around.

He is incredible!
"I was involved in a bad car accident. My mom’s friend recommended Jesse to me as they were in a serious car accident and told me how he fought for them. I quickly realized why they spoke so highly of him. He’s the best!! I couldn’t drive or really walk much, Jesse drove an hour and a half to my house just to meet me and talk to me about potentially being my lawyer. He worked on my behalf and has handled everything proficiently. He went above and beyond and out did my expectations. He is professional and personable. He is incredible at his job, and really cares about his clients. I’ve never met a lawyer who was so down to earth and kind. Lisa is pretty awesome herself, so sweet and patient!! I definitely thought they would get tired of my emails and phone calls but they were always helpful and friendly. I would recommend Jesse to anyone!!"

"Jesse please share this with Mr. Seaton and any others. I tried to do a review on goggle but I don’t have the appropriate information to sign in to google. Jesse; Thank you for your assistance with my complaint concerning a defected bladder sling. I appreciate the time you spent investigating my complaint. Most of all I appreciate your honestly concerning the complaint. You kept me updated on the process and was always willing to answer any questions. Words could never express how you made this process easier. I feel you worked hard and got the best judgement for my case. I will continue to promote you and Seaton and Bates for people that are in need of services. Sincerely"
