Best lawyer

This is the best lawyer anyone can ask for he helped my older brother tremendously with keeping his sentence from 25 years to 10 and only having to serve half. I absolutely love him he is straightforward and funny.

As he told me himself, The Best!!!

I spoke with several lawyers about my case before talking to Mr. Caprio. They ALL told me I would be facing jail time, I become nervous... But a family member of mine referred me to Mr. Caprio. I met with him and he was straight forward with me about what could happen but at the end he promised he wo...uld keep me out of jail and that he did. I was Very impressed and I am truly grateful for all his help. Thank you Mr. Caprio you truly are Thee BEST!!!

Excellent Lawyer

Louis was extremely straight forward. There were many factors that were playing against me and he was able to negotiate a plea deal from 7-15 years to 42 months probabtion. He saved my life. I could have not done this without his expert help. He truly is one of the best attorneys out there.

A Truly Great Lawyer & Genuinely Honest Gentleman

Mr. Caprio is very straight forward with you regarding your case. For my case, even before agreeing to hire him as my lawyer, he sat me down, looked it over, looked at me and told me that the likelihood of winning was very slim. He then proceed to tell me some ideas that he had regarding the defense ...of my case. He gave me his card and told me to think it over. I told him I don't need to think it over, you're hired! After hiring him, I probably called him 20 times to talk about the case and every time he kindly listened to all of my concerns and was able to remind me of the game plan...always calm and reassuring. Even when I dropped by his office unannounced, he rearranged his schedule to sit down with me. I can honestly say he cared about me. Our game plan - Getting the judge to toss out the breathalyzer results. At the court hearing, Mr. Caprio was able to establish that there was no reasonable grounds for me being placed under arrest. He called the patrol man to the stand to paint a picture of what happened that night through the officer's eyes. Through Louis' questions and the facts stated in the police report, Mr. Caprio made a very convincing argument that led the judge to agree with him. With that, the judge had the summary suspension rescinded and the breathalyzer results are now inadmissible. Thank you Mr. Caprio, I truly appreciate all of your hard work and executing an awesome game plan!
