Capovilla & Williams We are a dedicated team of military and veteran attorneys committed to top-tier representation for clients.

Capovilla & Williams is a law firm built on the idea that attorneys should be driven by integrity, honesty, and trust. We fight for people who are falsely accused of s*x crimes and people who are the victims of negligent drivers.

A Marine Corps Gulf War veteran came to us rated at 0%.

Service connection had been denied. Benefits were out of reach.

We built the case — medical evidence, service records, nexus letters — and fought the VA through the appeals process.

Result: Service connection granted. Substantial rating awarded. $65,939.70 in gross back pay secured.

This veteran served. He earned those benefits. We made sure he received them.

If your VA rating doesn't reflect your service-connected conditions, contact us.

A denial from the VA is not a final answer.

Thousands of veterans accept a denial and walk away from benefits they rightfully earned.

You have options:
- Supplemental Claim — new and relevant evidence
- Higher-Level Review — a senior adjudicator reviews the record
- Board of Veterans' Appeals — a formal appeal before a Veterans Law Judge

Each path has deadlines. Missing them can reset your effective date and cost you back pay.

Don't fight the VA alone.

Honorable. General. OTH. Undesirable. Dishonorable.

The characterization on your DD-214 determines your access to VA benefits, federal employment, housing programs, and more.

An Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge can disqualify you from benefits you earned.

But discharge upgrades are possible — through the Discharge Review Board or the Board for Correction of Military Records.

The process takes time. The outcome matters.

If your discharge doesn't reflect your service, we can help you fight to change it.

If Air Force OSI contacts you, this is the only thing you need to remember:

Say nothing. Call a lawyer.

OSI agents are trained investigators. They are not there to help you. Their job is to build a case.

You have the right under Article 31 of the UCMJ to remain silent and to have an attorney present before any questioning.

Exercising that right is not weakness. It is strategy.

When command offers you an Article 15, you have a choice — and it carries real consequences either way.

An Article 15 (Non-Judicial Punishment) allows your commanding officer to impose punishment without a court-martial. It's faster. But you waive your right to a jury trial.

A court-martial is a formal military trial with full procedural rights — including the right to an attorney and a panel of jurors.

Which path is right for you depends on the evidence, the charge, and the command climate.

Never accept or refuse an Article 15 without speaking to a defense attorney first.

Most service members don't know these until it's too late.

1. The right to remain silent — Article 31 of the UCMJ protects you. Use it.
2. The right to an attorney before any questioning begins.
3. The right to know what you're suspected of before you respond.
4. The right to refuse consent to a search without a warrant or authorization.
5. The right to have your attorney present during all questioning.

Knowing your rights isn't enough. You have to exercise them — from the first contact.

Capovilla & Williams represents service members at every stage of military investigation.

A General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR) can end a military career before a court ever convenes.

Filed in your permanent record, it can block promotions, eliminate bonuses, and accelerate separation.

But it is not permanent by default.

A skilled rebuttal — submitted within the response window — can challenge the basis of the reprimand, present character evidence, and request filing in the local instead of permanent record.

Timing matters. The window is short.

If you've received a GOMOR, contact us immediately.

When a story like the recent Memphis National Guard shooting hits the news, the questions people ask are usually the same: When is a service member legally allowed to use lethal force?

Attorney Dan Higgins breaks down the actual standard — not opinion, not speculation, just the rules of engagement service members are trained on before deadly force is ever authorized.

A CID visit is not a casual conversation.

If Army Criminal Investigative Division agents show up — at your home, your unit, or your barracks — you have rights.

You are not required to speak with them.
You are not required to answer questions without an attorney present.
You are allowed to say: "I want to speak with a lawyer first."

Invoking your rights is not an admission of guilt. It is the smartest thing you can do.
