Did a fantastic job......We are forever indebted to Mr. Capozzi
HIghly recommended. We contacted Nico to help a relative through some minor warrants he acquired. Mr. Capozzi went to court on our behalf as we are in Los Angeles and the warrants and charges were removed. If you or a family needs help, I would strongly recommend you reach out to this attorney for help. Thank you Nicholas.

An Attorney you can count on.
From the first time that we conversed I knew that Mr. Capozzi was the right attorney for me. He listened and went over every little detail that pertained to my situation. He was understanding and made me feel like he actually wanted to help and not just take my money. His receptionist is more than helpful and courteous. Mr. Capozzi shows concern and makes me feel secure in my decision to have him represent me. Mr. Capozzi goes above and beyond by either answering my calls or promptly setting up a in person meeting to go over any questions that may arise on either my or his behalf. That compared to other attorneys who only tell you what you want to hear and that are never available. If you want something done, I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Capozzi.

Excellent Lawyer
Nicco helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I have always read how difficult criminal legalities can be. This was not the case at all, I was so grateful for Nicco's commitment to my case. He was always reachable and responsive reassuring me throughout the process. I never felt uniformed to unaware of the next steps or potential hang ups. Nicco was sensitive, thoughtful and detailed. The amount of time spent with me even during my free consultation was impressive, from there I knew I had found the perfect balance between a knowledgable professional and real person who got how devastating and life changing it all can be. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always keep you updated with progress of the case. Five star to Nicco.

A very considerate lawyer
We were referred to Mr. Nicholas Capozzi by a friend. He is working on some of our stressful situations that we are going through. He is very diligent working on our cases. Unlike other lawyers we encountered before, he is a lawyer with a good heart who does not rip you off. He will be there for you when you need him.

We Appreciate You for Everything You Have Done for Our Family!
He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of criminal law, very familiar with court procedure and proceedings, and comfortable in the courtroom. It is critical that the lawer you choose to represent you has skills and experience to fight for your rights. The pending charges against us were resolved, if not the consequences could have been very serious, even life altering.
