Civil Litigation
When you’re facing a legal dispute, you deserve a lawyer who takes your problem seriously and gives you the guidance you need to move forward. At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we handle complex conflicts with preparation, honesty, and a commitment to protecting your interests. You bring the issue — we bring the strategy to help resolve it.
When You Need Answers, Advocacy & Real Solutions
Not every legal problem fits neatly into a category. Sometimes you’re dealing with a dispute that came out of nowhere — a broken contract, property damage, a dishonest business partner, or a personal conflict that escalated. You may not even know what kind of lawyer you need… only that something isn’t right and you can’t fix it on your own.
That’s where Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell steps in. We help people across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia make sense of complex disputes and take back control of stressful situations. From our Bristol office, we represent clients in Johnson City, Kingsport, Greeneville, Bluff City, Jonesborough, Elizabethton, Abingdon, Washington County, and throughout the Tri-Cities. Remote consultations are always available if you prefer to meet from home or work.
When you’re stuck in a conflict you never asked for, you deserve a lawyer who listens, explains your options clearly, and fights strategically to protect your rights. We’re here to do exactly that.
A Practical, Strategic Approach to Legal Problems
Civil disputes can drain your time, energy, savings, and peace of mind. Our job is to cut through the confusion, help you understand your options, and build a plan that protects your interests without wasting your resources.
At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, you get:
- Straightforward guidance in plain language
- Honest expectations, not unrealistic promises
- A strategy built around your goals and budget
- Strong negotiation backed by real trial preparation
- Respectful communication and consistent updates
We believe in solving problems the right way: with preparation, fairness, and a willingness to fight when negotiation isn’t enough.
Contract Disputes: Protecting What You Were Promised
Contracts are supposed to create clarity — but when the other party ignores the terms, delivers poor-quality work, or violates your agreement, the fallout can be expensive and stressful. You shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of someone else’s broken promise.
We handle contract issues involving:
- Service agreements
- Business partnerships
- Construction or repair contracts
- Vendor or supplier disputes
- Employment or contractor agreements
- Real estate contracts
We gather evidence, analyze the terms, identify breaches, and pursue compensation or enforcement. Whether you’re trying to resolve the issue quietly or take it to court, we stand up for what you were promised.
Property Damage: When Negligence Costs You Time & Money
Property damage isn’t just an inconvenience — it can interrupt your work, disrupt your home, and cause thousands of dollars in losses. Many property damage cases involve insurance companies that try to underpay or deny legitimate claims.
We handle claims involving:
- Vehicle damage
- Home or rental property damage
- Storm or water-related issues
- Neighbor disputes
- Commercial property damage
- Contractor negligence
We push back against insurance companies and negligent parties to make sure you aren’t left paying for someone else’s mistakes.
Business Torts: When Dishonesty or Misconduct Hurts Your Business
Running a business is hard enough without dealing with deception, unfair competition, or intentional wrongdoing. If another party has harmed your business financially or damaged your reputation, you deserve accountability.
We litigate cases involving:
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Interference with business relationships
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Unfair or deceptive business practices
- Defamation affecting a business
We investigate the facts, protect your reputation, and pursue compensation for the harm done to your livelihood.
Defamation: Protecting Your Reputation from False Attacks
Your reputation is one of your most valuable assets. When someone spreads false information about you — online, in your community, or at your workplace — the damage can be devastating.
We help with cases involving:
- Slander (spoken false statements)
- Libel (written or posted false statements)
- Online harassment
- False allegations affecting work or family life
We gather evidence, investigate the source, and fight to clear your name. You deserve the truth to be heard.
Appeals: When You Need a Second Chance at Justice
If you lost a case because of legal errors, misapplied rules, or a flawed judgment, that doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Appeals require research, discipline, and strong writing — but more importantly, they require a lawyer who cares enough to dig deeply into the record.
At Law Offices of Jesse James Campbell, we examine trial transcripts, identify errors, and build a focused appellate strategy. When the system gets it wrong, we help you push back.
When You Feel Stuck, We Help You Move Forward
Civil disputes can make you feel powerless — but you don’t have to handle them alone. Whether we meet in person in Bristol or discuss your case remotely, our goal is to protect your rights, reduce your stress, and help you reach a fair and practical resolution.
You bring the problem. We bring the strategy, clarity, and advocacy you need.

If someone caused you financial loss, property damage, or harm through negligence or wrongful conduct, you may have a claim. We’ll review your situation and explain your options clearly.

It depends on the complexity of the dispute. Some cases resolve in weeks, while others take months or longer. We keep you informed and work efficiently toward the best outcome.

We use formal legal tools — subpoenas, discovery, motions, and court intervention — to compel cooperation and move your case forward.
