Tough Yet Fair

Mr. Cappozzo handled a business dispute for us without flaw. Even though the case turned out to be arduous and lengthy, Mr. Cappozzo remained firm and was not intimidated by tactics from the other side. His steadfast efforts resulted in a settlement for almost the entire amount owed. Mr. Cappozzo is ...a very tough yet fair attorney that I highly recommend.

Mr. Capozzo has handled several cases for me including divorce proceedings, child support enforcement and personal estate planning. He has always been very attentive to my specific needs and has consistently provided me with excellent advice and legal representation. Mr. Cappozzo is a dedicated... lawyer whose first priority is to meet the needs of his clients in an efficient and professional way. He has a straightforward no-nonsense approach to conflict resolution and is not afraid to "fight the fight". He follows through with a great deal of tenacity and professionalism, always willing to put in the extra effort required to get a tough situation resolved. His office staff is always professional, courteous, and extremely helpful as well. Overall, I would highly recommend Mr. Cappozzo to anyone. I have always been impressed by his personal demeanor and the genuine level of care and concern he shows for his clients. He is a tough, knowledgeable, caring individual who gets results.

Seven years ago we contacted Mr. Cappozzo to handle an ongoing custody battle. He took the time to sit down and talk to us and take on our case. Not one day have we regretted having obtained him. He is excellant! After all these years he still handles our continued case and we are still pleased. ... He is professional and has the upmost diginity in handling all matters. He has always been honest with us, and directed us in the right way . We have recommended him to others and will continue to do so. He and his staff are very knowledgeable of the law and are always open and dependable. He is one of the best attorneys around in our opionion and would recommened him for any legal problems that would arise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
