The office was established in 1986, in downtown San Francisco.  During the ten years prior to that, Allen Capeloto was an associate attorney with the firm of Pechner, Dorfman, Wolffe, Rounick & Cabot, of Philadelphia, the Law Office of Glenn Lerner, of San Francisco, and then a partner in the firm of Capeloto & Rubin, of San Francisco.  In 1994, our office was relocated to San Mateo County.

Our principal areas of practice are in business law, real estate and construction matters, as well as general civil litigation.  Included in these areas are Homeowners' Association law, business and corporate formations and dissolutions, sales of businesses, and real estate sales transactions.  We write business contracts and agreements, and commercial and residential leases.  We have registered marks and copyrights with the United States Patent, Trademark, and Copyright offices. 

We represent clients in trial and appellate courts throughout the State of California, Federal District Courts in California, the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeal, and the United States Supreme Court.

We also provide counseling and assistance in matters pending in California's Small Claims Court.  In this regard, we offer monthly seminars on business use of the Small Claims Court, and the enforcement and collection of Small Claims Judgments.
