Dr. Christopher A. Campagno

Managing Attorney

Dr. Christopher A. Campagno joined Stevens & Sullivan, LLC in June 2021. His practice focuses on representing disabled veterans at all stages of the VA disability claims and appeals process, including litigation before the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. His work centers on complex service-connection issues, rating disputes, and identifying legal and procedural error in VA adjudication.

His broader expertise spans Veterans Law, Disability Rights, and Military Justice. He brings a systems-level perspective to VA practice informed by both litigation experience and academic research into administrative processes.

Dr. Campagno earned his Ph.D. with a dissertation titled Administrative Burden: The Hidden Costs Associated with Participating in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Disability Compensation Process. His research challenges prevailing narratives about the Appeals Modernization Act by examining the administrative burdens imposed on veterans. His work highlights how efficiency-focused reforms can create unintended access barriers and offers a framework for a more equitable, veteran-centered system.

Prior to his legal career, Dr. Campagno enlisted in the United States Army as a Chemical Operations Specialist and served on a Hazardous Materials Search and Rescue Team. He deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. His highest enlisted rank earned was Staff Sergeant.

Dr. Campagno was later commissioned as an Adjutant General officer through the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Army ROTC program, where he earned his B.A. in History and served as the program’s Battalion Commander. He subsequently attended the Judge Advocate Officer Basic Course and currently serves as a Judge Advocate in the United States Army Reserve.

He earned his J.D., cum laude, from Syracuse University College of Law, along with a certificate in Disability Law and Policy.
