“I don’t want my lawyer to tell me what I cannot do.
I hire him to tell me how to do what I want to do.”

What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

My wife and I highly recommend Michele for all things Visa related!! He is very knowledgable, proactive and beyond helpful. With his support and consultation our entire Elective Residency process went very smoothly!!!

Michele and his team are the reason that my husband and I were able to move to Italy! They handled all of the administrative stuff for getting our Italian work visas, and after we got to Italy they helped us through the whole process of getting residence permits. We have been here for about 1.5 years and any time we have emailed Michele with random legal questions, he has always responded quickly and given very helpful advice. We absolutely recommend Capecchi Legal for anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Michele Cappechi and his team have been wonderful to work with. I am applying for my Italian Citizen and my husband and I both just applied for our National Elective Visas at the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles. He has advised us every step of the way, his team has expediently acquired the necessary Italian ancestry documents, reviewed our lease agreement and been available in person, email, by Zoom meetings and the phone to support and answer any questions we have had. We highly recommend Studio Legale Capecchi, International Legal Practice for all your needs with the journey to move to Italy.

For years I thought my dream of moving and living in Florence full-time was unattainable. From our first meeting, Michele outlined a path forward for me and my husband to move to Italy with a self employed visa. Michele helped us navigate the bureaucratic process with ease from start to finish (documents from Italian government offices, visa application, consulate appointment, and permesso di soggiorno). He is always helpful and there when you need him. We even loved our experience so much we hiring him to be our lawyer to buy our first house here in Italy. I cannot recommend Michele and his team highly enough! He is worth every penny!
