I would recommend Mike to anyone seeking legal advice or services. Mike is a thoughtful and tireless advocate for his clients as well as a dedicated leader of the local community through various non-profit organizations. I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Mike and gain his insight on legal matters and to serve with him on the board of the Santa Barbara Barristers.

      Cappello & Noël pioneered the field of lender liability. Barry Cappello is the author of Lender Liability (Fifth Edition, Juris Publishing), the authoritative treatise on lender misconduct. The firm successfully prosecutes lending institution misconduct and fraud. It also uses its expertise to negotiate workout agreements between borrowers and lenders. Its record of jury verdicts and settlements exceeds $1 billion. Cappello & Noël has earned a nationwide reputation as the go-to firm when litigating against financial institutions and other large public and private entities. It is known as a fierce competitor when negotiating and at trial. My practice includes, but is not limited to, researching, editing, and writing motions, pleadings, discovery, and legal memorandums that are used to assist our clients in their civil litigation matters. I also make law and motion and trial appearances on behalf of our clients.
