The Trusted Probate Attorney & Real Estate Lawyer in Westport, CT

Originally founded by Leo Nevas and his brother in 1936, Nevas, Capasse & Gerard, LLC, through its evolution over the years has remained a fixture in downtown Westport, CT for over 75 years. As its leader, Leo Nevas, a former Judge, community leader and philanthropist built a firm with an outstanding reputation as a general practice with an emphasis in business, non-profit organizations, real estate, zoning, estate planning and probate matters.

Continuing through the years with the addition of Jamie K. Gerard in 1984, and the joining of forces of Nevas, Nevas and Rubin with Tate, Capasse and Johnson in 1989, another firm with historical roots in Westport, it emerged as a leading Westport law firm, serving its combined clientele throughout Fairfield County. Edward Capasse, a Westport native and former prosecutor, has built an outstanding reputation for his legal skills, community outreach as well as garnering admiration and respect from all who have come to know him. He is currently “Of Counsel” to the firm since recently relocating his primary residence to Florida.
