"I have known and respected David Japha for many years and have had the opportunity to observe his dedication and proficiency in the practice of law. He is a fine trial lawyer and is not reluctant to take on difficult cases. His professional and ethical standards are on the highest level. I have watched, with pride, his growth in the practice of law since he began practicing law. I give him my unqualified endorsement."
