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!

Not only a lawyer but a personal friend, brother, etc.

I first came across Justin’s profile for his bikes, tattoos, and similar content as mine several years ago. Long story short, I ran into some legal trouble for a dui, but have used justin multiple times for other legal purposes and have won. Justin, also known as kpac, is the only, and only, lawyer t...hat has answered every call, text, and voicemail I have ever left him no matter how many times I have reached out through social media, direct number or email. I have used him for multiple cases, and he has never judged me or each situation and has always been very honest each situation and each possible outcome. Kpac is worth every penny regardless of his charge and I not only look at him as the most honest lawyer but as the brother I never had. He is the first person I always reach out to in times of need, answers to my questions and confusion (unfortunately). He will not leave you wondering what is going on. You may think hiring older is better but justin 100% knows what he is doing and I never had to question him, his proceedings, how he goes about things, or his team. Definitely put him at the top of your list if you are juggling lawyers.

Assault Case

I cannot express how grateful I am for Justin and the incredible work he did in getting me out of an assault charge. From the very first consultation, Justin was calm, professional, and reassuring, making the entire legal process so much easier than I ever anticipated. Justin walked me through eve...ry step, clearly explaining the situation, my options, and what we could expect. His communication was excellent, always keeping me updated and promptly answering any questions I had, no matter how small. I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process because of his expertise and clear guidance. What impressed me most was how smooth and easy everything felt with Justin by my side. His attention to detail and ability to analyze the specifics of my case were incredible, and he worked tirelessly to build a solid defense. Thanks to his hard work, the assault charge was dismissed, and I couldn’t be more relieved! Justin’s dedication and skill as an attorney are truly unmatched. I never felt alone or overwhelmed, and the outcome speaks for itself. If you are looking for a top-notch attorney who will fight for you and deliver results, I highly recommend Justin. I’m beyond thankful for what he did for me, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again in the future!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

I was a nervous wreck when I was charged with my DUI. I was referred to Justin by a good friend and boy oh boy am I forever grateful. From Day 1 Justin was honest, transparent and upfront with the possible outcome of my case. He was communicative throughout my entire process, responded in a timely m...anner and always updated me accordingly when he spoke with the prosecutor. He offered me his best judgment with ways to fight the case for a better sentence. So glad I took his advice! We went to court and I received minimal charges because of him and the hard work he put in. Best decision ever was to hire him!!!

Justin Capek is amazing!

Justin Capek is a great lawyer. He handled a case for me which led to a “not guilty” verdict. His prep work and presentation skills in front of the courts is unmatched. I would highly recommend him and his law firm for any legal defense. A1 in my book!
