Quality attorney

My wife hired Justin Capek after a vehicle crash that injured her, and destroyed our vehicle. Justin was responsive, helpful, and brought us the result that we needed. I highly recommend his services to anyone who needs his services.

Steadfast

Justin was referred to me by a friend. He was able to work with me on pricing, and kept it real with me throughout the entire process. He also made partner at his firm shortly after I hired him! Although people told me to look for someone else, because they were upset when my case was sent to trial... (as opposed to being resolved in prelim), I stayed the course with Justin as my attorney because he was able to explain to me in laymen’s terms why that was. After long, drawn out court proceedings Justin was able to help me get the justice I deserved! I was found not guilty on all charges thanks to Justin’s steadfast work and thorough understanding of the law. Thank you Justin!

Great Lawyer

Justin was helpful throughout my entire process. I was unfamiliar with the court process and he answered any questions I had around the clock. He was able to clear me of over half of the tickets I was given and significantly reduce the fine I would’ve had to pay. He was always professional and made m...y experience so much better. I would recommend him to anyone!

Tactical advocate who’s in your corner

Justin was a pleasure to work with. I found him through social media and his shared interests resonated with me. He was patient in answering all my questions and explained everything in a way that made sense. His work ethic shines through in the way he goes above and beyond, especially in how accessi...ble he is to his clients. If you’re looking for a lawyer with a deep knowledge base and a strong dedication to his clients, I highly recommend Justin.
