About David M.
David M. Campione earned a history degree from The Citadel in 1986 and a J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 1989. He moved from a liberal arts background into legal study in a few short years, completing law school as the 1990s approached. The combination of a military college education and a law degree shaped his early professional choices.
He served in the United States Army Reserve from 1986 to 1994. That period overlapped his time in law school and the start of his legal career. Military service informed his approach to legal work, especially in matters that require attention to procedure and chain-of-command issues.
Campione is admitted to practice in Georgia and Florida and to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He built his career in Florida practice environments while maintaining ties to the broader regional bar. Over the years he took on courtroom work as well as transactional matters. He has practiced in both state and federal venues.
He has been active in bar and professional organizations. He holds membership in the Florida Bar Association and the Central Florida Bankruptcy Law Association. He served on the Fifth Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee for the Florida Bar from 2009 to 2012, a role that involved evaluation of complaints and professional conduct issues. Earlier, he was president of the Lake County Bar Association from 2000 to 2001. Those roles reflect sustained participation in the local legal community rather than occasional involvement.
In private practice he is the managing partner of Campione & Hackney, P.A. As managing partner he oversees firm operations and case strategy while handling his own caseload. The firm represents clients in matters that require attention in both state and federal courts. His membership in the Central Florida Bankruptcy Law Association signals ongoing work in bankruptcy-related matters. He is also admitted in neighboring jurisdictions and appears in federal court when cases require it.
Colleagues and clients describe him as steady in the courtroom and attentive to procedural detail. He balances firm leadership with active casework and periodic service to professional bodies. He continues to practice at Campione & Hackney, P.A., where his work includes bankruptcy cases and litigation in state and federal courts.
