I was referred to this law firm 12 years ago when I found myself in a domestic dispute. Caplan and Tamburino came and saved the day. At the height of the pandemic, I was wrongfully accused of a very serious crime. While Joe was the leading defense attorney, his assistant, Kayla was the driving force on the case and they did a magnificent job together.
Thank you for a job well done.

Joe Tamburino and his team at Caplan and Tamburino were absolutely fantastic. The attention detail and expedient communication we received through the experience far exceed what we’ve received by other firms. When I am in need of assistance in the future, I wouldn’t call anyone else.

Working with Joe was excellent! We could list so many accolades, like professionalism, extremely prepared, passion for his client, and all of the other praises that might be given to such a high profile attorney. I think the one thing that really sticks out over the almost two years he worked on our behalf, Joe always answered his phone!! It might seem like a small thing, but believe me, it meant a lot to all of us. Thanks Joe!

I have had a fantastic experience with Joe Tamburino. He gave generously of his time, expertise, and knowledge to help guide me through the process of seeking justice after being car-jacked & assaulted in Minneapolis. He made himself available, communicated well, and explained the legalities I didn't understand. My husband and I are both very thankful for him, and will absolutely contact him again if needed in the future.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Truly a fantastic firm to work with. I had the pleasure of working with Hillary Parsons and Allan Caplan on a civil case and It couldn't have gone any better. Fierce in trial and brilliant attorneys. Professional, courteous, and ethical just begins to describe how they conduct their work. With research and fact-based arguments they successfully handled my case. They will put you at ease but are also very realistic of possible outcomes. For anyone in search of a firm for their civil or criminal needs look no further as they are the best of the best.

Mr .Tamburino was amazing, we were facing a very serious issue that would have been life altering for our family. Mr.Tamburino was very professional from start to finish, without his experience and skills this could have had a different outcome. He handled our case and was able to keep us calm and informed throughout the process. We can now move forward with our lives and that is because of his representation and experience. We are so grateful for the way he handled our case. We are thankful we had a great Attorney to help us throughout this legal process.
