Richard Sparaco and I have represented co-defendants in several cases over the years. Rich always has been well prepared, thorough, and fully informed. He is professional, and cares about the quality of his work. Having worked with and observed many attorneys of varying levels of competence in my years first as a federal prosecutor and now as a private practice attorney, I truly value colleagues who exhibit the qualities Rich does as an attorney.

I endorse this lawyer. He strongly advocates his client's position, and often gets good results for that client. I also admire his ability to communicate with his clients, as well as with the courts. He is a highly competent professional.
