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!
Dealing with customer service is easy |
Legal Authority gave me a chance to get my name and experience out there. The resume you did for me was such a good representation of my expertise. I had eleven interviews and several job offers.

I have been so impressed with Legal Authority's customer service and dedication to finding people jobs. Depending on a professional service to write my cover letter and resume has taken the stress out of my job search. Legal Authority is a hassle-free way to find a legal job.

Legal Authority really worked well for me. My Employment Advocate was great. He gave me really sound advice about my resume and cover letter. The writing process took a while, but went very well, and my resume and cover letter looked great. I got a job offer from one of the contacts, and when I called my Employment Advocate, he gave me great advice about negotiating. I am now working and would definitely recommend the service to my colleagues.

Legal Authority is effective |
I received my first call only 23 hours after mailing out my letters. From there, I went on 11 interviews and received two firm offers.

My letters resulted in one interview that would have developed into more, I'm sure, had I not gotten an offer from another firm first! Thank you for your help in my job search. Even as a graduate of a top-tier law school, I found your service and advice to be on point and extremely beneficial. Why would anyone want to work with a recruiter?

I was practicing in a small firm where I saw no growth opportunity for myself (I am a litigator who used to be in insurance). I got an offer from a place where I feel I can get on partner track. Thanks. I needed this.

Legal Authority Exceeded My Expectations |
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.

Please put this on your site, because I think it can help others. I struggled through school at a bottom tier school with great difficulty. I am 43 years old, wife and mother, and while I was studying, I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Although I was thankfully able to both recover and graduate, my final GPA was under 3.00, I then failed the bar, and I knew that in the job market I would be competing with 25-year-old superstars from the best universities. Under these circumstances, for me to even be getting called for interviews (3 so far!) is a miracle. But, amazingly, I now have a job offer which is perfect for me. No one should give up hope while they can still get help from people like you. God Bless.

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 |
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!

I just wanted to let you know that I accepted an offer and will be starting my new job. Thank you so for all of your help. I had my doubts about Legal Authority, and my husband was very reluctant. I decided that I was going to trust my instinct and go with your service. I sent out 500 resumes and cover letters and got a tremendous response. My letters were addressed for a Monday, and Tuesday I had two interviews scheduled. Every day, I was getting a new interview; I even had five scheduled for one day! All the recruiters who I talked to told me to use the Internet and look in the paper; they couldn't help me, because my background was strictly criminal. It was a wonderful feeling to know that I was still marketable and my criminal background was not going to hold me back. I accepted an offer after 14 interviews and never would have found my new position if it weren't for Legal Authority. Thank you so much for everything!!

I recently accepted an attractive offer of full-time employment that, but for Legal Authority, I never would have gotten. After months of trying to work with recruiters to no avail, I tried your service and had an interview scheduled in two days. More followed, including callbacks and a couple of offers. It was nice to be in the position of choosing, and without you I could not have done that. Thank you!

Legal Authority Worked for Me |
I sent out 500 letters in LA County (I am a recent Georgetown grad with no bar results yet). I wanted to let you know that I have received at least 8 interviews (and they are still coming) and that I have already accepted an offer with a criminal defense boutique firm! Thanks a lot.

I hate litigation. I hate it with a fiery, fiery passion. Even though I was at an Am Law 100 firm, I basically could not stand my job one minute longer. Thanks for helping me make the transition to a job I love!

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 LA and do the same kind of work. I spoke with a number of recruiters and looked at legal advertisements on a daily basis, and 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 over 100 different firms in the LA 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 but does high-level trademark litigation. I was shocked. How could no one have known about this?!?!?! The salary they offered was also exceptional.
I owe my success to you, Legal Authority. Thank you!

Legal Authority is a Good Value for Money |
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.

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.

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!
