• Attorney and CEO Robert Capovilla stands out as one of the premier Marine Corps Defense Attorneys in America. With extensive experience as lead counsel in numerous Marine Corps cases, he has successfully represented Marines in a wide range of proceedings, including pretrial confinement hearings, Article 32 hearings, Court-Martials, and investigations by NCIS or CID. Robert has skillfully defended senior officers, NCOs, and junior Marines from coast to coast. As a co-host of the Military Justice Today Podcast and co-author of the acclaimed book, “Court Martial Cases: Defense Strategies and Best Practices,” he has established himself as a leading authority in military law, offering his expertise to Marines at nearly every major installation across the nation.

• One of Robert’s most notable victories occurred at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, where he expertly defended a Marine wrongfully accused of possessing explicit materials. Despite facing pretrial confinement, suspension from his position, and ridicule from his command, Robert’s unwavering commitment to justice shone through. After a week-long trial, he achieved a resounding full acquittal on all charges, ensuring that the Marine emerged with no criminal record, no requirement for sex-offender registration, and the opportunity to fully enjoy the benefits of his service to this day.

• Attorney and Managing Partner Mickey Williams is widely considered one of the very best Marine Corps defense attorneys in America. Mickey has defended Marines accused of wrongdoing at nearly every major Marine Corps Installation in America. As a co-host of the Military Justice Today Podcast and co-author of the acclaimed book, “Court Martial Cases: Defense Strategies and Best Practices,” he is known as a tough, seasoned, and experienced Marine Corps Defense Attorney. Mickey has worked dozens of Marine Corps cases, he knows the culture, the language, and, as a prior infantryman and Army Ranger, he understands the mission.

• One of Mickey’s most notable achievements was successfully defending an 0-6 Marine, a former MARSOC Battalion Commander, who faced serious allegations of sexual assault against a female co-worker in Washington D.C. Mickey demonstrated exceptional legal prowess by getting all criminal charges dropped, despite NCIS finding probable cause for the accusations. Following this victory, he boldly represented his client before a panel of general officers at a Board of Inquiry. Over several days of rigorous litigation, Mickey effectively countered the recorder’s assertions that his client had committed a sex crime. Ultimately, the Board made the decisive choice to retain our client, who is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement with all pay and benefits intact.

• Attorney Daniel Higgins, our esteemed Senior Litigator and Partner, is a dynamic force in the legal arena and stands out as one of the most respected Marine Corps Attorneys in the industry. A proud infantryman and a distinguished graduate of multiple elite military programs—including the US Army Sniper School, Ranger School, Airborne School, and Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course—he is also a combat veteran with three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Daniel has successfully defended over 50 Marines facing allegations of misconduct and wrongdoing, providing unwavering support in Court-Martials, Separation Boards, and Boards of Inquiry across the nation. Renowned as one of the preeminent Marine Corps Defense Attorneys in America, Daniel’s relentless advocacy has secured the release of many Marines from unlawful pretrial confinement.

• One of Dan’s standout victories took place in the Marine Corps, where he skillfully defended a decorated 0-6 in Hawaii against serious accusations of sexual assault and domestic violence from his ex-wife. Despite a six-month investigation by NCIS, which aimed to incriminate Dan’s client, he turned the tables by enlisting Mr. Denny Richter, a seasoned investigator and former CID Special Agent. Mr. Richter uncovered crucial evidence revealing that the alleged victim only made these allegations after being caught in an affair, seeking to deflect blame. This pivotal revelation led to the complete dismissal of all charges against Dan’s client, showcasing the strength of his defense.

• Attorney Dominic Giordano is an accomplished former Marine Corps Officer and Judge Advocate, recognized as a leading Marine Corps Defense Attorney. With a track record that includes serving as lead counsel in over 30 contested separation boards and more than 400 cases involving Marines nationwide, Dominic has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to defending his clients. He fiercely advocates for Marines falsely accused of serious allegations such as sexual assault, hazing, maltreatment, domestic violence, and larceny, tackling nearly every charge under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

• Dominic has built a formidable reputation as one of the toughest and most dedicated Marine Corps Attorneys in the country. He recently co-hosted an episode of Military Justice Today, where he shared insights on the unique culture of the Marine Corps, effective strategies for handling cases, and best practices for successfully defending Marines against misconduct.

• Dominic achieved a significant victory for his MSgt client in the Marine Corps, who faced seven allegations of fraud and over 48 allegations of misconduct. Through expert legal strategy, Dominic successfully mitigated the case, securing his client’s benefits and preventing a general court-martial—ensuring his client never spent a single day behind bars. More recently, Dominic demonstrated his prowess by helping two different Marines challenge unlawful pretrial confinement orders. By filing Article 30a motions with the military judge, he won both hearings, secured his clients’ releases, and effectively sidestepped unnecessary court-martial charges. Dominic’s track record speaks for itself; he is a formidable advocate for his clients in the military justice system.

• Attorney Bard Simon is a Partner at Capovilla & Williams and one of the most respected Marine Corps Defense Attorneys in America. Brad started his career as a United States Air Force Judge Advocate where he became the fist Area Defense Counsel in history to win best defense attorney in back-to-back years. As a civilian counsel, Brad has worked dozens and dozens of Marine Corps cases all over the country. He has represented Marines in court-martials, separation boards, NJP, and an array of Admin Actions including letters of reprimand. Brad is widely known as one of the most skilled Marine Corps Defense attorneys in America and his experience and results back that up.

• One of Brad’s most remarkable Marine Corps victories occurred when he defended an NCO accused of illegally using Delta 8, 9, and Vyvanse. NCIS launched an aggressive investigation, interviewing multiple witnesses and concluding there was probable cause to believe that Brad’s client knowingly consumed illegal substances. However, at the separation board, Brad skillfully argued that his client had never knowingly taken any illegal drugs. Ultimately, after careful deliberation, the board ruled in favor of his client, dismissing all allegations as unsubstantiated.
