Outstanding Sex Assault Defense Attorney

After reporting an act of discrimination against me at work, I was quickly accused of sexual assault by two female accusers. After charges were preferred I did some research and hired Mr. Robert Capovilla. I was facing a special court martial with 2 charges and 3 specifications. Robert fully inves...ted himself while working on my case, putting in hours late at night and on the weekends. His experience and foresight can’t not be valued. Although he didn’t guarantee a victory as 2 victim cases are more difficult, he was very confident and an extremely talented litigator. I believe every step of the way he was the best attorney in the room at all time. Mr. Capovilla was well prepared for trial with great directs and cross examinations. Specifically, during his cross examination of both accusers he was able to point out inconsistencies and impeached them on the stand. Watching him in trial was truly a sight to see. My father who attended the court martial even said that Robert Capovilla was like Johnny Cochran. On the 5th day of trial in concluded with a full acquittal. Robert did not end it there. He made sure my integration back to my command was good to go as well. Robert’s work ethic and great litigation ability saved my career. I am extremely thankful for him. I can offer no greater recommendation for an attorney.

Best Lawyer

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.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Capovilla at Shewmaker & Shewmaker is world class trial attorney. I was accused by two women of sexual assault. I thought that my career was over. I hired Shewmaker & Shewmaker to defend me. I was amazed at how much time Mr. Capovilla dedicated to my case. He was truly amazing. The team at ...Shewmaker & Shewmaker interviewed over 25 people and filed several motions to help me fight back. I was received calls each week from Mr. Capovilla and I knew he cared about me and my case. In trial, Mr. Capovilla was amazing. He was by far the best attorney in the courtroom. His cross-examination of my accusers was awesome. He was able to show that my two accusers collaborated wit each other, changed their stories, and lied to the Government. I was found not guilty. This is the man you want. This guy is tough! V/r

This is the dog you want in your fight

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.
