Mike has spent his whole life in the Mid-Missouri area and currently resides in Columbia. His private practice, The Law Office of Mike Campbell, joined forces with Thomas Law Offices in 2020, and he now heads the firm’s Missouri office. Mike represents individuals who are seriously injured by the negligence of others and his work has resulted in recovering tens of millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for his clients and their families. In the office, Mike focuses his practice on bad faith insurance litigation, medical negligence, and automobile negligence. For his work, Mike was selected as one of Missouri Lawyer’s Weekly’s “Up and Coming,” lawyers in the State of Missouri, was nominated by members of the community for “Best of Columbia – Lawyers” for COMO Magazine, and was selected a “Rising Star” by SuperLawyers® in 2021 and 2022, a designation limited to top-rated practicing attorneys who are selected through extensive evaluation.
