She was \u201cAV\u201d rated by Martindale Hubbell&nbsp;for high ethical standards.&nbsp;The emphasis of her law practice was health care law,&nbsp;probate&nbsp;and guardianship law, with several high-profile cases.&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to becoming an attorney, she had 14 years of experience in the legislative&nbsp;arena working in an administrative role in the Florida House of Representatives, United States Senate, and later as a political consultant with a national governmental affairs firm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campbell&nbsp;was appointed to serve as a Circuit Court Judge in 2006 by Gov.&nbsp;Jeb Bush.&nbsp;&nbsp;She has served in the Felony Criminal Division, Family Division, Civil Division and most recently began in the Probate Division in St. Petersburg, Fla.,&nbsp;and has presided over more than 40 criminal jury trials and 90 civil jury trials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is an active member of First United Methodist Church of St. Petersburg, former&nbsp;chair of Operation PAR, and former&nbsp;vice&nbsp;chair of the Florida Board of Medicine.&nbsp;&nbsp;For her service to the community, she has received the American Board of Trial Advocates, Florida Jurist of the Year 2018; American Board of Trial Advocates, Tampa Bay Chapter, recognized for commitment to civility and professionalism (2018); William Castagna Award for Judicial Excellence by Masterson Inn (2015); St. Petersburg Bar Judicial Appreciation Award (2014); Heroes Among Us Award by the St. Petersburg Bar Foundation (2006); Richard T.
