Posted by Gianna | April 06, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Made a stressful situation so much easier.

I was referred to Justin by a friend for a PFA case during a messy breakup, and I’m so grateful I found him. He was willing to take my case on short notice and immediately made me feel supported. He took the time to walk me through the entire process, kept me updated, and provided a lot of reassur...ance during a stressful situation. Thanks to his guidance and efforts, we were able to come to an agreement with the other party and avoid going to court, which meant a lot to me. Justin is incredibly easy to talk to—honestly, it felt more like talking to someone I already knew than a lawyer, which helped me feel comfortable and at ease. He’s straightforward, efficient, and clearly knows what he’s doing. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his work. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, get-it-done-right kind of attorney. Hopefully I won’t need legal help again anytime soon, but if I do, he’ll be my first call.

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.

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.

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.
