Attorney ROBERT L. CAPERS

Hey there, I’m Attorney ROBERT. Thank you for visiting my website! I have been practicing law in New York since being licensed in 2001. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the Barney School of Business at the University of Hartford in 1993. I enjoyed learning about business and marketing, which led me to a career on Wall Street in the mid 90s. I felt that Wall Street wasn’t a good fit for me and wanted to do more to help people. I decided to go to law school and attended the Thur-good Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University.

Out of law school, I started working as an attorney in Houston for a litigation firm and felt that working on personal injury claims was a great fit for me. The work was challenging, and it also helped people who needed a voice. I opened my own firm in 2008 and have been working hard ever since.

Since being licensed in 2001, I have personally worked on and/or personally handled the following:

Hundreds of auto/truck wrecks with total settlements ranging from $1,000.00 to over $1,500,000.00.

A drowning death case involving an 18-month-old child.

A severe and life-altering scald burn case involving an 18-month-old child with a confidential settlement against an apartment complex.

Co-counsel with two very large law firms against BP for 5 severely injured contract employees of the BP explosion, which occurred in 2005.

Co-counsel with two very large law firms against BP for the benzene release in Texas City, which occurred in 2011.

Co-counsel on property damage denial claims.

Co-counsel on a negligently designed exercise product sold at Target, designed by Bell Sports and manufactured in China, which resulted in a confidential settlement in 2014.

Created presentations for settlement negotiations.

Handled numerous “slip and fall” claims for clients who were injured at business establishments.

Worked with numerous experts throughout my litigation cases obtaining valid and admissible expert reports.

Worked on numerous family law cases and issues.

Drafted estate plans for clients and co-counseled in a complex estate probate matter involving numerous parties.

Handled numerous property damage claims and issues for clients.

If you are in need of a legal question to be answered, I will do my best to answer it. There is never a fee for an initial consultation. Thank you for visiting my website, and hope I can be of assistance to you.
