Robert Frances Capovilla

When my husband was falsely accused of sexual assault by 2 of his colleague’s spouses at a party, it quickly became the worst time of our lives. My husband’s command immediately took the side of the accusers and punished him for his silence with an article 15, stripping him of his hard-earned E7 stri...pe as well as docking 2 months’ half pay and sending him to a separation board. We decided to stay quiet, and in addition to the court-appointed ADC attorney, we hired Mr. Capovilla immediately. Rob was stunned to hear the details of my husband’s case, and I was impressed with his confidence to take on a case with 2 female accusers in the midst of the #metoo movement. It was clear from the beginning that he believed my husband and had our best interests at heart. He admitted it wouldn’t be easy, as having 2 accusers increases the chances of conviction, but he showed empathy for the injustice my husband was enduring and believed the truth would prevail. Mr. Capovilla is extremely intelligent and quick-witted in and out of the courtroom. He embodies intelligence, charisma, confidence, humor and boldness. He made my husband’s accusers look like complete fools on the stand, pointing out all the inconsistencies in their stories, showing the board how they lied and colluded to try to end my husband’s 17 year career. And after a legal process that drug on for 8 grueling months, that moment, was worth every penny spent. His closing argument was the best thing I’ve seen in life; the board members only convened for roughly 10 minutes before delivering a not guilty verdict. I highly recommend Rob Capovilla to anyone facing a court martial, separation board or any type of situation that brings you into a courtroom because that is where this man truly shines. He is extremely passionate about what he does and is a complete natural; he was definitely born to serve justice in the courtroom. Thank you, Rob, for saving my husband’s career and his retirement. Your services are priceless.

I hired Rob and his assistant Mickey to represent me on a positive UA for THC that I was given from a 100% unit UA. I knew I had not used THC during block leave and hired both of them to represent me in my case as I was not only facing a trial by Court Martial, but a seperation board as well. Rob and... Mickey were very thorough through the whole process and guiding me on what was gonna happen. After, fighting through the Court Martial the goverment decided not to go through with it and instead go to the seperation board. At the seperation board Mickey was very direct and defended my innocence digestion and completely destroyed the government's case against me. After 15 mins of hearing all the evidence and testimony the board decided to retain me in the United States Army. Both Rob and Mickey were outstanding in the knowledge of the military justice system and defended me with ease. I look forward to continue to work with them in any way and highly recommend them to anyone facing UCMJ or military investigations. Thanks Rob and Mickey you guys are awesome!

I hired Mr.Robert Capovilla to defend me on my military court martial case. I was under investigation for over 2 years and did not know what to do. I consulted three different lawyers in fact I hired one but did not help me at all so I had to fire my previous lawyer and I consulted Mr.Capovilla and h...e reviewed my whole court case packet and he broke it down where to I can understand it. I hired Mr.Capovilla and he never failed to update me on my case on what’s going on or where the situation is currently. Myself and Mr.Capovilla finally went to court martial it lasted over 2 days and I was full acquitted of all charges.

Rob Capovilla is the guy you don't just want- you need him. My case has spanned three continents and Rob has been there throughout it all. He's connected in the military justice world and those connections have aided my case. He's quick to track down leads that you thought were lost. He gets off t...he plane ready to go. His investigative work is only surpassed by his presence in the courtroom. Rob ran through 3 different trial prosecution teams throughout my case. I can not recommend him enough.
