Matthew (Maff) Caponi

Matthew “Maff” Caponi has been an associate attorney at Kaplan Law Firm since August 2019.

Maff’s practice has focused on pursuing justice for workers on a wide range of employment issues, including workplace discrimination, wage and overtime violations, and whistleblower retaliation. At Kaplan Law Firm, Maff has tried two employment cases to jury verdict, including a jury verdict and damage award in his client’s favor in federal court for FMLA interference.

In addition, Maff has litigated police abuse cases, reviewed and negotiated severance agreements, advised and defended employees on alleged violations of non-compete or non-solicitation clauses, successfully represented clients at mediations, and successfully tried a breach of contract case remotely via Zoom in small claims court during the pandemic, obtaining a judgment in his client’s favor.

As a law student at his hometown University of Texas School of Law, he focused on public interest work, completing internships with the Equal Justice Center, Refugee Services of Texas, and Save Our Springs Alliance. As a student attorney with the University of Texas’s Civil Rights Clinic, Maff worked with a small team that won a habeas corpus case in federal court for a detained asylum seeker, securing the client’s release after nearly a year in detention. Maff is passionate about enforcing employee and civil rights in Texas and practical about obtaining the best result for his clients.
