Mickey’s philosophy when it comes to representing both military service members and students is similar and straightforward:
“No one deserves the protections afforded by our Constitution more than those who wear the uniform or are investing in their ability to positively impact our communities in the future. Our firm has an unwavering commitment to protecting the rights of these clients and we will do everything possible within the bounds of the law to accomplish that objective.” – Mickey Williams
Mickey earned his Juris Doctor from Willamette University College of Law and Bachelor or Arts from the University of Oregon. Prior to founding co-founding Capovilla & Williams, he was a partner at two other small law firms dedicated to representing clients facing misconduct allegations.
