Get the help you want, when you want, at an affordable price.

We get that cost is a major factor if you’re at the start of your career—so we’ve pioneered a way to provide nationally recognized coaching and résumé writing help to entry-level lawyers needing help fast and affordably—while also needing more personalization and creativity than law school career service centers and résumé templates can provide.

Instead of hiring a true professional résumé writer to write your résumé from scratch or booking a multi-session package with a professional career coach—both long and expensive processes—we save you time and money through interactive, screen share services.

We also have coaching for new lawyers and law students. It’s also simple: just tell us the issues you’d like to discuss, and send us your current résumé so that we have some context. We can talk about interviewing, job search, networking—anything you need.
