This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Mr. Williams was the calmness of mind I needed.

Mr. Williams was very quick to reach back out to me and provided excellent guidance. He was very professional and was the subject matter expert. I’ve reached out to other individuals and the information I received from Mr. Williams was very calming and decisive. Will recommend to my family and frie...nds.

Guilty until proven innocent

Mr. Mickey Williams was one of the gentlemen that represented me in my HQDA mandated separation board. My ex-wife is military law enforcement and used her knowledge and position to try to ruin my life, my career, my relationship with my kids and have me lose 22 years worth of benefits. Mickey was ...able to rapidly and accurately see that the statements made against me were fabricated. He preparation and experience made it possible for me to finally tell my side of the story. My board went on for over 13 hours. Mickey had taken the time to ensure that his examinations were seamless and had the knowledge of all the facts. His questioning of my ex-wife, an agent with CID, caused her to show to the board how little integrity she has. His direct questioning led to her exercising the right to remain silent and refused to answer his questions. Mickey's actions saved my career. I am so grateful to have found Capovilla and Williams. I would recommend them to anyone that is the victim of crime in the military. Mickey has a superb understanding of military law and his no-nonsense approach to a case ensures that the victims story will be heard. I cannot thank him enough for the peace and hope that has returned to my life.
