The Law Offices of Anthony A. Capetola is one of the premier firms in Long Island and New York City for family law, corporate law, civil litigation, and criminal defense. Led by experienced trial attorney Anthony Capetola, the firm provides clients with committed service and skilled crisis management.
“The key to our success is that we never get weak-kneed or tired when handling a tough case,” says Capetola. “We follow through on our promises and work hard to ensure that the level of service received by our clients is unparalleled.”
With more than 40 years of trial experience, Capetola has focused his practice on matrimonial law since 1985. Along with his associates, he has been recognized as being among the finest family law practitioners in Nassau, Suffolk, and New York counties, and is often sought out to handle complex custody and visitation matters, having tried international custody cases pursuant to the Hague Convention.
“I began my career as a prosecutor with the district attorney’s office. The trial experience I gained as an A.D.A. honed my trial skills to a level that is unsurpassed by any attorney. Our clients know that we cannot be intimidated, no challenge is too great, and we shine when the going gets tough, accomplishing the seemingly impossible,” says Capetola. As a criminal defense attorney, he successfully represented many clients in both state and federal cases.
Once a client retains the firm, each case is staffed with one associate and one paralegal, with Capetola supervising the case management. “When a client hires me to represent them, there is no bait and switch. They can rely upon the fact that I will remain actively involved until their case concludes, be it by trial or settlement,” emphasizes Capetola.
More than just a litigator, Capetola is highly sought after to share his knowledge with others, having lectured extensively at various law schools and bar associations. He is a member of the Nassau County, New York State, and the American Bar Associations. He has been included in Super Lawyers since 2010, and has been recognized as one of the area’s top matrimonial attorneys by Long Island Pulse Magazine.
In addition to running a successful law practice, Capetola has achieved recognition as a boxing promoter, real estate developer, restaurateur, and community activist. When not engaged in the practice of law, he can often be found at The Carltun, a high-end Long Island restaurant and catering facility that he opened in 1995.
“Being self-employed in various businesses has afforded me a unique insight into understanding the complexities of business valuations, as well as the ability to meaningfully participate in the valuation process. Having an intimate understanding of the pragmatic aspects of owning a business, I often know where to look to find money that would go undiscovered, and I’m frequently able to prompt an expert to consider factors previously overlooked,” notes Capetola.
As a community activist, his philanthropic efforts have been recognized by numerous legal and non-legal organizations. He regularly accepts challenging pro bono cases for people who are unable to afford quality representation. “I believe that it is not only our duty as lawyers, but a privilege to serve the under-served populations,” notes Capetola. “There is no greater feeling than to be able to have a positive impact on someone’s life.”
