Dealing with customer service is easy |
I'm never listening to my Career Services Office again!! Not only did they tell me that Philadelphia was such a bad area that I am going to have a hard time finding a job, they also said that instead of paying for a service, I should do this on my own! Ridiculous - you guys did work with my resume and cover letter that I never would have, and it was a lifesaver. I didn't have to try to gather data from places like Martindale every weeknight - you guys just helped me reach 300 employers in less than two weeks! … I've gotten two interviews already, and one of the firms had just lost an associate the day before they got my resume, so they hadn't even started looking for someone and my resume was in the right place at the right time!

Legal Authority is THE place to begin any legal career search. I was moving from out of state and unsure of my prospects. After Legal Authority polished up my resume and I sent it out with their help, I was turning down interviews! I received four offers out of eight interviews from well-respected large firms and landed my dream job! My employment advocate provided invaluable advice that aided me throughout the process. Your career is worth the investment. I know mine was. Thank you Legal Authority! Thanks again Caroline!

I recently took a position at a law firm in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Contact with this firm was initiated through my Legal Authority mailing. Thank you for your efficient and effective service.

Legal Authority is effective |
Thanks for your help! I just received the documents yesterday and only made a few changes. I was able to finalize them yesterday evening and send them off to Production with confidence. I really thought that the cover letter captured my tone and enthusiasm for my work in a way that I have always been unable to. It was a great decision to work with you!

I had a number of friends who used Legal Authority. The service came highly recommended. The only reason I thought the service would not work for me was because I was a litigation associate and I wanted to finally do the transactional work that I have wanted to do since graduation. I thought that I would never be able to do the work because I was not recruited straight out of law school. So I sent out 350 letters to corporate firms in Los Angeles, and I got five interviews. I would have liked more, but I did find a job doing the transactional work, which I was longing for. Now, I feel like I am finally on the road to one day being a General Counsel for a company.

I have been working for 6 years in several positions and I have never experienced such an easy transition as through using your service. I have three offers, actual job offers, to choose from, out of 11 interviews, which I know from experience is an excellent success rate for 500 cold contacts!

Legal Authority Exceeded My Expectations |
The service provided by Legal Authority was excellent. I am thoroughly satisfied. I received from 10-15 calls by firms seeking an interview. I went on about 10 interviews. I decided to take a position with a family law firm that is about 10 minutes from my home. I am extremely happy.

After searching for a job on my own, I knew that I was going to need some help. I contacted Legal Authority to assist me in my job search. I have been so impressed with the shipment and organization of the material and how thorough and efficient the service has been. I feel confident that I will be able to find a job, and I appreciate all that Legal Authority has done to help me on my way.

I wanted to be a litigator, but didn't have experience and didn't think I could compete with people from prestigious law schools. I got four interviews and four offers. Thank you very much.

Legal Authority is Much Better than other Methods of Looking for a Legal Job |
I obtained employment through Legal Authority's service. I doubt I would have been able to do this on my own. Thank you very much!

As a third-year law student, I tried marketing myself and got nowhere. I needed serious help to find a patent job, and my Career Services Office was useless. I used your company to send out 650 letters to patent firms, and I've gotten interviews and serious offers on the table already.

I am thrilled to inform you that after sending 225 letters, I got interviews with six employers and finally accepted an offer today with a small firm doing civil and criminal litigation. Great position, especially for a forty something recent law grad with so-so grades and no litigation experience. This firm is highly selective and never advertises openings, relying solely on referrals from colleagues. If it had not been for your services, I would never have learned of this firm; my letter landed in their office at exactly the right time, and I was the first person they interviewed. Thank you for my new career!

Legal Authority Worked for Me |
I did accept a position in Jan. but a number of problems have arisen such as no office being established in the Charlotte area where I reside thus I've had to get an apartment & live 1 1/2 hrs. away, the owner is now wanting all the attorneys to be partners, etc...thereby I would like to start looking for a position in the Charlotte area -- what is the process for utilizing your services to do this? It worked so well I want to do it again but this time I will be pickier - because I have the luxury.

I know it's been a while, but I saw one of your ads and it reminded me to drop you a line. I got three interviews from my letters, and got a job offer. I'm also working for this same firm this summer, too, so it really worked out great!

I thought about using Legal Authority after I used its sister company, Attorney Resume. At first, I was not sure if I needed a targeted mailing or even believed in it. After I talked with an Employment Advocate and learned just how such a mailing could help me, I signed on. I sent out about 145 letters on a Wednesday, and I got calls for interviews on that Friday and Saturday. I am still interviewing and have two offers so far!

Legal Authority is a Good Value for Money |
I sent out 150 or so resumes to Colorado with your service six months ago and got three interviews and two offers. I love my firm and the job, but my wife hates the cold. I need you again; let's look somewhere warm! Please contact me soon. You guys were the best investment!

Whoever said it's impossible to find a job fresh out of law school and without a bar license obviously has never met Legal Authority. I didn't have any problem at all! During my last year of law school, I approached my career services for help in finding a job back in my home state. While they were great with me, they just didn't have the resources to help.
Then, someone suggested the targeted mailing scheme. Since I didn't know much about it, I didn't really care to follow up on it. It wasn't until after the bar that the reality of the real world finally kicked in, and I decided to contact Legal Authority. It was the BEST decision I ever made! AND the BEST investment ever!
Caroline Lee was absolutely wonderful!! She listened to my goals and suggested an attack plan that proved to be quite effective. The legal staff was great, too. They helped me write a very impressive cover letter and resume that my employer still raves about! I was really lucky to have found Legal Authority, and especially, Caroline.
Two weeks after I mailed out my cover letter and resume, I secured five interviews and had offers on the table that I simply couldn't resist. I am now with a very prestigious mid-sized west-coast law firm, practicing in the corporate/commercial litigation and estate planning sections. Exactly what I wanted and wished for! I could not have asked for a better gift this year. Thank you, Legal Authority!

Prior to getting my materials from Legal Authority, I had already sent out several resumes with no responses after a month. These were on jobs posted on web sites and through the bar journal. One particular reply that I eventually received stated that there were more than a hundred applicants. Within 10 days of sending out about 300 resumes from Legal Authority, I had 4 calls for interviews and 2 of those wound up offering me jobs...and it cost me less than if I would have hired a headhunter.
