A boutique firm with the depth of a much larger practice
Capielo Law Group was founded by Georg and Katie Capielo on the conviction that families deserve attorneys who genuinely care about their futures. We combine the sophistication of large-firm practice with the responsiveness and warmth of a boutique.
Every client works directly with the partner handling their case. There are no associates in the middle of the conversation, no surprises, and no compromises on the quality of the work.

Testimonials
What clients say
Georg helped us create an estate plan that truly reflects our family's values. He took the time to understand our situation and explained everything in terms we could understand. We finally have peace of mind knowing our children are protected.
Michael & Sarah T.
San Francisco
When my siblings and I found ourselves in a dispute over our mother's trust, Katie was our advocate through a very difficult time. She was compassionate about our family situation while being absolutely fierce in protecting our interests.
Robert L.
San Diego
After losing at trial, I thought all was lost. Georg took my appeal and found issues the first lawyers missed. His appellate brief was exceptional, and we won a reversal that changed everything. I can't recommend him highly enough.
