  Carlos Campos the new City Attorney of Coachella poses for a picture Friday afternoon in the chambers of the Coachella City Hall.
  ...
  Carlos L. CamposPersonal: He is 30 and lives in La Quinta.
  
  Work: Associate with Best Best & Krieger LLP at the Indian Wells office.He's been with the company for six years.
  
  Education: J.D. from University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
  
  Bachelor's degree from Pitzer College in Claremont.The Coachella City Council on March 14 approved a legal services agreement with Best Best & Krieger LLP to provide city attorney services.Carlos Campos was designated as city attorney.
  ...
  It's been about 15 years since Carlos Campos cleaned the entryway and lobby at City Hall.
  
  And about 13 years since he videotaped City Council meetings for public television as a teenager.
  
  He's back at the Coachella City Hall, but he's not pushing a mop or working a camera.As the newly appointed city attorney, he's litigating on behalf of the valley's fastest-growing city.
  
  Campos, 30, is replacing Jimmy Gutierrez, who was fired in December after serving the city for 16 years.
  ...
  "It's a pleasure to be here at this point in time," said Campos, referring to the city's tremendous growth spurt.
  ...
  "We propose a team approach to our contract," said Campos.
  
  It is Campos, though, who will deal with city issues on a daily basis, attend biweekly Council and Planning Commission meetings and hold part-time office hours at City Hall.
  
  He will provide legal advice and consultation, assist in preparation and review of ordinances and contracts and litigate on behalf of the city if need be.
  
  What also helped sway Coachella officials toward Best Best & Krieger was Campos' familiarity with the city.
  
  He grew up in Thermal, moved to Coachella at age 11 and graduated from Coachella Valley High School in 1995.
  
  "You go to the local store you know the person you bought your meat from ... you know who's bagging your bags," he said.
  
  Campos lives in La Quinta, but plans to move back home to Coachella, where his mother and some siblings reside.
  
  Growing up in Coachella, a predominantly Latino community, he said he never saw Latino attorneys, let alone knew one.
  
  "I realized we needed Latinos in higher education," said Campos of why he went to college and pursued a law degree.
  
  Becoming a city attorney for his former hometown was something he thought about, but didn't realize would happen so soon and at such a young age.
  
  "It kind of fell into place," he said.
  
  Knowing the city like the back of his hand does give him an advantage as he helps steer the city in the right direction.
  ...
  Melendrez, who still works for the city, remembers Campos as a teen and recently ran into Campos, new on the job.
  ...
  "It's a privilege and an honor to be sitting here," said Campos while seated at the chair he'll occupy during City Council and Planning Commission meetings.
  
  He's in front of the camera now, and glad to be representing the city he has seen transformed from a bedroom town that houses the valley's laborers to a full service city that vies with neighboring Indio for new retail outlets.

  The emphasis on community participation is what wooed 30-year-old Carlos Campos to the law firm when he was shopping for jobs shortly before law school graduation five years ago.
  
  "For a lot of us, we want to work in an environment where our work is an extension of our families and our life outside the office," said Campos, who works in the firm's Indian Wells office and is city attorney for Coachella.
  
  He volunteers with the Latino Film Festival and is helping to develop a satellite campus for the College of the Desert, often attending those meetings during business hours.Campos said he appreciates the autonomy that allows him to grab a laptop and work from home when necessary.
  ...
  With that in mind, Campos and his co-workers participated in the office's annual miniature golf tournament earlier this month, a morale-booster set up along the firm's hallways that offered awards for such things as the craziest socks.
