Legal Authority has helped thousands of attorneys and law students find new opportunities and new careers throughout the country. You would think that we have heard every possible story by now, every set of circumstances that led to success; but no, we haven't. Every client is different, and each one spins a different tale of his or her job search—pitfalls, promising opportunities, and philosophies.
Legal Authority would like to share some of these stories with you. While these can't indicate the level of success that you will necessarily have in your job search, they are certainly an indication of how people like yourself have felt about our service and product. Hopefully your letter can join these ranks soon!

I was an out-of-work litigator and was desperate. My Legal Authority counselor calmed me down and redid my entire written presentation. I got the interview I sought, and it's right here in Denver.

I just wanted to email and say THANK YOU!! I don't know if you remember me, but I used that other company to do a mailing and it was so bad that I was about to give up completely and move back home with my parents. You were very helpful over the phone and I felt like you really listened to me and counseled me on my issues. You were right, too - all I needed was to get something of higher quality to the right firm at the right time. So far, I've gotten four interviews, and I only sent the letters out a week ago. This is GREAT! I'll keep you updated as I go on the interviews, too.

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 effective |
After reviewing my completed cover letter and resume, I couldn't believe the difference Legal Authority made! I finally feel confident about my credentials and my ability to find a job. Thank you, Legal Authority, for making me look so good.

I have been so impressed with Legal Authority. The service that I have received has been outstanding, and the materials that I have been provided with have been above and beyond what I expected. I think very highly of Legal Authority and would recommend it to any attorney looking for a professional and reliable service.

I sent 300 letters and got three interviews within one week, and eight days after sending the letters, I had a great offer. I love the firm and the environment. I am enjoying my new job immensely, and the location is so perfect. Thank you again for all your help. I could not have done this without you or your company.

Legal Authority Exceeded My Expectations |
Got an interview and offer last night and other firms are still interested. I wish I'd known about Legal Authority sooner, because the work you do is nothing short of wonderful!

Guys, I got a job. I think I am one of your greater success stories. Here's why. I finished law school in 1994, but have never held a real associate position due to my own and my husband's military careers, being transferred all over the world--oh, and by the way, raising three kids in between! I wouldn't trade it for anything, but it was about time for MY dreams to come true. And thanks to Legal Authority, they have. This means so much to me. My life is no longer on hold.

I am writing to describe the results I received from Legal Authority's services. First, let me describe myself. I am a third-year law student at a first-tier NY law school. I will be graduating in the top 15% of my class, and I have extensive judicial clerkship experience.
With your help, I sent out 400 resumes throughout the NYC area looking at transactional areas of law, including tax and corporate law. I knew this area was very difficult, but because my background consists of nothing else, I felt compelled. The person I spoke with initially warned me that my results may not be as excellent as other clients.
However, a little more than three months later, I just accepted a position with a tax boutique firm. It is an excellent firm, and they were not advertising with anyone. My resume crossed the hiring partner's desk at the right time.
You provide an excellent, professional service, and I am very glad I availed myself of such. Thank you.

Legal Authority is Much Better than other Methods of Looking for a Legal Job |
My law degree was earned in China. I thought getting a summer job with my background was impossible, because my Career Services Office couldn't help me, but Legal Authority's marketing got me the job. I'm so grateful.

You have amazed me. I was working in the Bay Area as a trademark attorney, and due to the economy, I was let go. I wanted to move to Los Angeles and do the same kind of work. I spoke with a number of recruiters and looked at legal advertisements on a daily basis, and I found nothing. I sent out resumes on my own and didn't have much luck. Not a single interview for a trademark position. Even the recruiters I spoke to didn't know about any openings. After working with your company, I sent my application to more than 100 different firms in the Los Angeles area that have trademark practices. Surprisingly, I got a number of interviews! In fact, I got an interview at a firm that I had never heard of before that does high-level trademark litigation. I was shocked. How could no one have known about this? The salary I was offered was also exceptional. I owe my success to you, Legal Authority. Thank you!

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!

Legal Authority Worked for Me |
I have been practicing law for 20 years and decided to switch from litigation to estate planning. I sent out 600 resumes throughout New York and New Jersey, and I got six interviews and one offer! Thank you for helping older attorneys.

I have a baby daughter and was really worried about finding something great; (I am working as a tax consultant and wanted to try a law firm environment.) Happy news! I wanted to let you know that this week I've received two formal offers from law firms, both great offers. Not an easy decision, but tomorrow I'm going to call to accept a job with a mid-sized firm in Greensboro, North Carolina. Great group of people. I couldn't have done it without your help and I'm so glad I contacted you. Thanks Legal Authority.

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.

Legal Authority is a Good Value for Money |
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!

My results are like one of those credit card commercials.
Cost of law school: $90,000.
Cost of BarBri and Bar Exam in California: $2,500.
Cost of sending out 550 resumes throughout Southern California: $1,300.00.
Receiving 10 interviews and two job offers in two weeks: Priceless.
Thanks for all your help.

I got two more calls today. This is so incredible. And ****** just sent me a letter today, asking me to call and interview as well. I've done a lot of targeted mailing before. I have never had any sort of response like this. I've gotten at LEAST 60 letters back, some very terse and two sentences, the standard thank-you-very-much-but-not-interested, but also MANY entire-page-length letters asking me to please write back later in case something opens up. The money I sent you guys was probably the best investment I've ever made. I really wanted to change jobs and get into a firm next school term, and firms are like in a bidding war for me to clerk for them or something. This is so FUN! I have five firm offers! I don't know what to DO!??? I am telling all my friends at school about you! YOU GUYS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE CAREER SERVICES OFFICE and ON CAMPUS INTERVIEWING! YOUR ADS ARE REALLY TRUE!
Thank you!
Every interview - practically - I went on was so intensely interesting.
Thanks again.
-Philip
