"I endorse this lawyer's work. He and I worked on a complex civil matter involving federal interpretation of overseas contracts. Writing was effective and results were all one could have asked for."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I am an attorney myself, and when I needed a lawyer, I hired John. He has now represented me in two lawsuits.

His litigation instincts are usually right on, and he simply cannot be intimidated. I have also worked with John as co-counsel, and doing so has made me a better attorney."
