"I endorse this lawyer. One of the finest criminal defense attorneys I know!"
"I have known John since he was a Assistant District Attorney. He has always been a passionate advocate and a brutal cross-examiner. John is clever and cunning. He has the ability to read throught the garbage in a prosecution and get to the meat of the issues. He is an equally zealous defender. He is willing to try a case and he is as helpful and respectful as they come. I highly reccomend John Scarpa to you."
