Nothing but eternal gratitude and admiration for Robert Capovilla in the wake of a year-long case against a military son, culminating in a full acquittal. Our son is free, with his life and reputation undiminished, because of Robert. It's hard to know where to turn initially and whether attorneys you may be considering are truly knowledgeable, and will be a relentless and professional advocate on your behalf. Robert is all of that, and much more. This gentleman was always honest about the chances; was always available; evaluated the twists and turns in the case tactically, leading to sound decisions at every key point along the way; and he brought passion, integrity, experience, and total commitment from start to finish. When a military defense counsel joined the case, the two of them worked seamlessly as a one-two punch that was hugely beneficial to the case. Robert was the lead attorney. And particularly in the build-up to the court martial, he correctly assessed several pivotal decision points that turned out spectacularly correct. The emotional wallop of a situation like this is always present month after month, and often times it was only Robert's confidence and knowledge that could alleviate our sense of powerlessness and worry. Never false reassurance or sugarcoating, just knowledge of the law and of the circumstances and variables involved in our particular case, maximizing the strengths and mitigating weaknesses. Seeing him at work during the court martial, with everything riding on it, was stunning. His attention to detail, encyclopedic knowledge of UCMJ code, intellectual agility, and courtroom presentation and demeanor all came together at the point we needed it most--and then prevailed. Family members never doubted our son and brother's innocence at any time, but did not know if a court could be persuaded otherwise. Thanks to Robert, the court sided with us. Could not recommend anyone higher.

As an active-duty service member one tends to ponder getting deployed, seeing combat, and performing to one's best ability. Rarely if ever, did it cross my mind that the scariest, most difficult experience I would have in the military was to be falsely accused of sexual assault. For a year my life was turned upside down as the military actively sought to ruin my life. Robert and his team at Capovilla and Williams were an easy choice for me to make among the vast sea of UCMJ attorneys. What instantly struck me with Robert was his candor, attitude, and earnest desire to defend me, protect my future, and uphold the honor of my name. Robert worked tirelessly for a year to prepare for the court martial, continuously called and scheduled meetings, proactively worked to uncover the truth and understand every relevant detail, and was always honest with me throughout the process. What puts Robert head and shoulders above everyone else is that he cares about his clients and he and his team do not wait - as soon as they are on the case they relentlessly pursue all possibilities and immediately begin building the defense. Capovilla and Williams saved me from a hideous future, restored my freedoms, and they did so with passion, vigor, and exceptional expertise. I am forever grateful to them.

Robert Capovilla gets five stars because he can’t be given more. He is truly a man that delivers. He’s tenacious in the courtroom and not afraid to defend you. He’s extremely prepared and quick to engage the adversary head first with no backing down. Before my hearing the government was trying to introduce things that only an attorney as prepared as him would’ve caught. I have complete admiration for him and his firm. May the Lord always protect Robert Capovilla and his team!! After 18yrs of impeccable civilian and military service, the military accepted a false accusation of sexual harassment and inappropriate touching from a likely serial accuser to label me a “predator” and nearly ruin my profession and life. CID was quick to collect my DNA, fingerprints and put me in the FBI databank. I was issued a GOMOR for false allegations that were NEVER investigated. The government reported me to the National Practioner Data Bank with an entry that is defamatory, damaging and UNTRUE. I followed all the requisite appeals starting with a rebuttal to the GOMOR, which I later learned was not even read by the LT Gen that issued it. I then submitted my appeal to the Review Board in Virginia with no success in getting anyone to listen to my objection and INNOCENCE!! After five long years with this elephant on my chest, I received a BOI letter not only to remind and worsen my pain but to let me know that the final dagger was about to take the last bit of life outta me and my family. Thank you Robert Capovilla for clearing my name and more importantly for caring about me. My family is greatly appreciative too. God bless you always!

Not sure where to start. But this team did the best they could for me even in the situation I was in. I got the best result a DD214 HONORABLE and 100% disability. MR sean is and will be soon a great lawyer also Thanks to Robert and his team for putting up with such a unfair process. IF the Army want to screw you. Give this guys a call, they will do their best. Thanks to SEAN for believing in me, believing the true and for carrying me under your wings for that long in such complicated and painfull process...Im happy with the outcome. Only this team and few other know the true and they will work with you to resolve the issue and not allow the Army to screw your benefits/military carrer. OUT

I highly recommend the Capovilla & Williams law firm. They did an outstanding job representing our son during his military trial. From beginning to end, the entire team was honest with us and responsive to all our questions and concerns. They are hardworking and trustworthy lawyers that will fight for the best possible outcome.

Mr. Capovilla was honest, trustworthy, and an expert in military law. We would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who’s son is facing a court martial in the military. We’re forever grateful!! The Gibson Family!

I hired this firm when my son was falsely accused of a crime he did not commit. I was obv very concerned about my son's future. Rob walked us through every step of this process. He was knowledgeable about exactly where my son was, what could happen, what all steps would be, etc. He always was very crystal clear about any possibilities. He answered all questions we had, and kept in constant contact while my son was under investigation for a year. Really appreciate all the help, direction and support during this very difficult time.

I proudly recommend Robert Capovilla to all of my fellow Service members and their families. I appreciate Robert's attention to detail, knowledge, and professionalism. Retaining his services instantly put me at ease and Robert's insight was spot on. I refer his services to anyone who requires in-depth knowledge of military law and procedure. Robert knows how to represent and can guide you through uncertainty.

Mr Capovilla was with me every step of the way. He was truthful and always kept it real. I am glad I hired him and now I am getting out of the military as a free man.

Robert, Mickey, Josh, Sean, and Dan are an amazing team that will fight for the truth and prove your innocence. I hired Robert’s law firm to represent me in my administrative discharge board from the Air Force. Dan was detailed to fight on my behalf along with my ADC. They provided the necessary information in order to show the truth and fought hard on my behalf. Due to Dan’s expertise and tenacity the board agreed and decided to retain me. If you need a law firm that will fight for you till the end do not hesitate to hire Robert’s Law Firm. Everyone on the team is amazing and they will do there best to represent you and show that you should still be retained. The whole team is well prepared and they communicate with you throughout the process. I can’t thank Robert and Dan enough for the outcome that my family and I received. Hire them to represent you and you will not regret it. Thank you again and take care.

I highly recommend Robert and the entire law firm of Capovilla & Williams. Robert is a dedicated and professional advocate. Robert and his team provided great communication and were extremely attentive as they expertly navigated through the process of correcting my service records after separating. As a result of those efforts, my records are now accurate and will entitle me to the appropriate benefits. If you are need of an exceptional attorney to represent you, Rob will get the job done and done right.

I contacted his firm to help a friend that lives in Texas and the office responded right away and Robert followed up immediately after that. He made me feel comfortable and with that I felt that he was the best fit to help my friend that's in the military. Two days later Robert followed up again. This office is the blueprint of how attorney's should conduct business.
