Hungry & relentless

I turned to Justin for an appeal. From the day I reached out to Justin he has been nothing but attentive & meticulous when it comes to keeping me informed, all while trusting him with my case. He gives personal attention to you because he actually cares what happens. He told me assuringly that this i...s his reputation & therefore his attention to detail & the time he puts aside reflects in everything from the consultation down to the words he chooses writing briefs. His hunger to fight for justice is what made me pick him in the first place as I watched him handle himself in court & go to battle for another client. I said, “I need this guy fighting for me.” I would never go to or recommend anyone else with something as fragile as my legal matters. Thanks Justin!

The Best attorney!

Mr.Capek is an intelligent, enthusiastic man, who is diligent, and dedicated to his duties as an defense attorney. Mr.Capek is very down to earth, but a shark in the courtroom. It was pretty obvious that He had “been around the block a few time” and was quite experienced in his craft. I hired him in ...the winter of 2018 and upon hearing and looking over my case he told me on day one that he would get my record expunged, and sure enough He kept his word!

Justin is the man!

I contacted Justin with regard to a car accident I was involved in. From the start, he was compassionate, understanding, and knowledgeable of the issues in my case. Ultimately he was able to negotiate a great settlement for me.

Determined, transparent and completely invested

Justin came to my desperate aide as a referral. After making a series of very unfortunate decisions that led to my arrest and a pile up of impossible charges, I didn't think I had any other option other than to serve time. I was lost and so was my family in the legality of it all. Once Justin came in...to play, I wasn't once left in the dark. There was a roadmap to redemption, guided steps of what I needed to accomplish and complete transparency of what the process looked like. He not only cared about my case but he cared about the relationship I had with my family. He made it personal and he TOOK it personally. He was more than a lawyer and cared about what happened outside of the courtroom. His level of professionalism is clearly respected by those around him. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and am grateful for everything he's done to give me this second chance.
