Meet Orlando do Campo and John Thornton
Attorney Orlando do Campo
With more than 60 jury trials under his belt, Miami lawyer Orlando do Campo is a seasoned trial attorney with a proven track record of success. He has earned a reputation as a fierce defender of his clients' rights and a convincing courtroom advocate. He was recognized with the 2008 Ronnie Thaxton Award for Excellence in Advocacy in Federal Criminal Defense, an honor bestowed on only a few defense lawyers each year. A Cuban American, Orlando do Campo brings compassion to the practice of law based on his own background and experiences. He also speaks fluent Spanish.
Mr. do Campo's tenacity stems from his firm belief in the bedrock principle that each individual accused of a crime should receive the strongest advocacy possible against the power of the state. He considers it an honor to represent individuals in their time of need. His high profile defenses include representing the alleged "Dirty Bomber" Jose Padilla on terrorism charges, and alleged Cuban spies on espionage charges. He combines his true belief that there can be no rest when it comes to the defense of liberty with a thorough knowledge of the workings of the courts, the justice system, and the individuals who run them.
Mr. do Campo is a 1994 graduate of Harvard Law School.
Attorney John Thornton
John Thornton has earned a reputation as an innovator and strategist representing a broad range of clients in civil and criminal legal matters in South Florida. He has pioneered successful theories of pre-judgment relief and jurisdiction in international human rights cases.
Through his work, Mr. Thornton has brought relief to victims of torture and the survivors of a massacre. Additionally, he has proven that a company doing business with Fidel Castro's Cuba can be held accountable in U.S. courts for human rights abuses it commits in concert with that regime. He brings the same spirit for justice that has taken him around the world fighting despots to his smaller cases fighting for the legal rights of his clients.
Mr. Thornton represents corporations and individuals in litigation matters of all sizes. As a small businessman himself, he knows that the problems of small companies and individuals are every bit as important to them as are large companies' problems.
Mr. Thornton is a 1992 graduate of Harvard Law School. He speaks fluent Spanish.
