This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The Very Best

Mr. Capozzola's outstanding representation is in an entirely different league than any criminal defense attorney's services I have ever seen, experienced, read or heard of. As a former client the only drawback having Mr. Capozzola as counsel is that no other attorneys function in even a remote compa...rison, ability -wise... Mr. Capozzola : The Best. period.

A Note from a Superior Court Judge

As a superior court judge for 13 years i have presided over more than one hundred cases presented by Tony Capozzola . Mr. Capozzola enjoys an excellent reputation among Judges, Defense Attorneys, and Prosecutors . He also published a legal reference book used by those individuals and maintained with...in law libraries as a leading source of search and seizure law. His background as a Deputy District Attorney for several years, including experience as a prosecutor assigned to the organized crime task force, served him well when he became one of the top criminal defense attorney in California. His reputation caused him to be retained by clients such as Michael Jackson,and Hall of Fame coaches such as Tommy Lasorda and George Allen among others. The fact that some client who actually received a successful outcome of a case would post a ridiculous negative comment about one of the most successful , ethical, and honest attorneys, who ever set foot in a courtroom is unfortunate. I am also certain that the many indigent clients he has represented for no fee would also take umbrage at such an unfounded ,defamatory statement written about one the most ethical , successful attorneys that ever practiced law in this state or any other jurisdiction.

Get EVERYTHING in writing

Mr. Capozzola quoted a price to me in writing. I paid half up front and owed the rest in a matter of weeks. The nature of my case changed and when it looked like it wouldn't require as much work and we might win with just a hearing and no court case he called me and said he would refund half of my ...fees since we weren't going to an arraignment or trial. He offered this because my husband went ballistic that we were going to pay for services he wasn't providing. He requested and pressed me to send him the remaining fees owed, but assured me that he would never lie to me or dupe me and that we would get our money back because he didn't want a complaint from me with the State Bar. Once my case was completed without going to an arraignment or trial he refused to honor what he told me and claimed he never said he would give a refund. Get everything in writing and don't trust that he'll deal with you honorably. BEWARE
