Ralph Sapia, Debt settlement Attorney on Apr 18, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known of Brian for some years and have had the pleasure of knowing him personally for the last two years. I listened to Brian in a sentencing mitigation, about a year ago. Simply said it was one of the most compelling, human moments I have witnessed in a court room; Brian defended his client and showed reverence and compassion for the victim and the victim's family, while explaining that the law was not written for the crime committed. In so doing Brian swayed the Judge and saved his client a lot of jail time. I was so compelled I called Brian to tell him how amazing his effort was.
