Peter Capofari is an experienced trial attorney receiving not guilty verdicts in cases ranging from operating while intoxicated to attempted murder.

Pete was a scholarship recipient and graduate of St. Thomas University School of Law located in Miami Gardens, Florida. Pete began his legal career in Florida as a Certified Legal Intern and then as a Deputy Prosecutor in Hendricks County and Elkhart County.

With over fifteen years of experience in criminal law, in multiple jurisdictions, as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, Pete possesses a unique expertise to assist you with your case. “A lot of times people are embarrassed by getting arrested. I think that my greatest attribute is my empathy and getting to understand each client’s specific goal with their case and then having both the skill to litigate the case successfully and if needed to also negotiate an agreeable resolution.”

Born in Brooklyn, New York, but raised along the east coast as an Army Brat in South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, Pete has learned from an early age to adapt quickly and easily confront new situations. As a trial attorney, the ability to quickly read the room and make valued judgements has served him well in the courtroom winning not guilty verdicts from Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated to Attempted Murder.

“I know it sounds corny, but I went to law school to help people. As a criminal defense attorney I have found that I can have a significant positive impact on people’s lives, life changing results. I believe compassion and responsiveness is what separates me from other attorneys along with a proven track record of success at trial.”

Pete is licensed to practice law in Florida (inactive), New York and Indiana.
