I was extremely pleased with the result of both of those documents and working with both of you. Thank you both again for everything, you are amazing and I am forever thankful!”
- Graduating law school student
Read More“It’s just non-stop; it’s crazy. I sent the résumé to the chairmen of three AmLaw 100 firms, and all three responded within 24 hours, so I have three interviews next week with both the chairs and key lawyers in the office. I’m very pleased. The combination of documents is getting the doors opened. And I had a lot of people who supported me—like my friends who are partners at other firms—but once they saw my new résumé, they saw me in a different way, not just as their friend anymore. I’m taken much more seriously, and given so much more respect because they’re really seeing the impact I’ve had and the level of work I’ve done. It has changed the conversation. I consider you part of my team now, and I’m so grateful.”

I thought the cover letter was amazing to be quite honest with you. I would never have come up on it on my own, and yet it’s exactly what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. My goodness. I’m in light years better shape. Thank you for all that you’ve done. I’m really glad I’ve been working with you and I want to continue working with you.”
