What Our Clients Are Saying
Behind every successful job search, there's a story to tell. Who made the final decision? How juicy was the offer? What quality ultimately sold the candidate to the employer? How'd they even get their foot inside the door?

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 am very pleased to report that I have accepted a position. I am starting Monday. Thank-you for your help. It worked.
-Peter
THANKS so much! You guys did a great job and I can't wait to send my cover letter and resume out. Thanks again!
-L.K., Jackson Beach,
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!
-H.P., Chatham, N.J.
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
I will recommend your service should the opportunity arise; customer service and product were above average. I would recommend the service if for no other reason but to tune-up the resume and cover letter. As for results, things are ongoing. The market is tough and my situation is a bit unique to boot. Of the 200+ firms to whom I wrote, two have contacted me for interviews. About one 35% of the firms wrote regret letters.
-Mario
Legal Authority worked great. I found a job about a day after the letters went out. The employer had just posted the job with the area law schools, but my letter and resume got there first. I felt that the price charged was reasonable, and the service was great.
-Peter
Letters went out, and 2 interviews resulted from them. No job yet, but I will keep you posted.

As for Legal Authority - I give you guys high marks overall - The service was effective, attentive in listening to my input, prompt, and overall very professional and pleasant.

Loved what you did w/ the resume + coverletter.

Keep up the good work,
-Mallory
I received several interviews and two job offers with your service so I am very satisfied. I have forwarded your information to a friend of mine who is also looking for a job. My experience on the whole was very positive. Thank you for your help.
-Pamela
I sent out 150 resumes in New York, got interviews with 3 firms, got a job in about 2-3 wks after I sent out the letters. While I was surprised that I only got interviews with so few firms, I can't complain with the overall result. I am very happy with where I wound up. I already have and will continue to recommend your service to others.
-Khalid
I believe that Legal Authority did a very good job for me. You delivered exactly what you said you would. The quality of the letters and the resumes was very high, and your efforts saved me so much time. I most certainly would, and have already recommended your services to friends. You guys are pros.

I think the idea is terrific, and could be expanded to other fields of endeavor.

Warm Regards,
-Fred
So far I have not landed a job, but I do have 2 second interviews lined up. Of course, with so many resumes out there, I am getting enough rejection letters to wallpaper my apartment. But all in all, most rejections are due to hiring freezes, and not so much with my qualifications. I am very optimistic, and I think you did a fine job.
-Jaguth
You and your service did a very good job. I got a handful of interviews and got a job rather quickly. I only had a few envelopes returned for incorrect address but that could not be helped as they had just moved in all cases. Thanks very much.
-Adam
I just wanted to say thanks and let you know that I got a position at *******. I'm really excited about the opportunity. I've also let my unemployed law school grad friends know about your service, because it is almost impossible to find a job right now, and I feel very lucky to have found one at a great firm.
-Lukasz
I was very pleased with the results of my search. Out of the 500 or so letters I sent out, I ended up receiving 29 interview requests. I have even received phone calls as recently as last Wednesday. My experience with the letters was roughly as you predicted it would be: the very large firms were not hiring and I received rejections across the board from them but the smaller and medium sized firms were hiring. That was the group of firms that I received the most interest from.

The bottom line is that I only recommend the services I use to others when I feel that they are truly worthwhile and I have recommended Legal Authority to everyone I know who is engaged in a legal job search. Your company really fills a valuable niche, particularly in a down market when junior associates are not able to use headhunters.

Thanks again
-Jon
I just wanted to thank you all for your help. I ended up getting a job back in September through you guys and haven't had the chance to say thank you to you all. I'm working at a great firm in New York City and so far the experience has been great.

Thank you again!
-N.N.
Just wanted to let you know that I received and accepted a job offer as a result of a cover letter and resume provided through Legal Authority. I am very happy with the services I received, esp. given the timing I was working under. It was a good experience.

Thanks for assisting me in this important task and I will recommend your services in the future.

Thanks!
-J.J.
I wanted to let you know my current situation. After sending out resumes, I got 3 interviews the week before Christmas. I received an offer rather quickly from one: XXX, an intellectual property litigation boutique . I accepted the position and began work today. They offered me a second-year salary, which was much more than I had expected. Of the other firms, one interviewed me twice, but did not extend an offer. The other one -- I forgot the name, but it was the IP litigation division of this GP firm -- gave me a short interview but I have yet to hear from them.

I think the market is still very tight and I'm very glad to have found such a great position. Thanks for all your help. I found your work on my resume and cover letter to be excellent!
-S.S.
I just wanted to email you and let you know what's been happening. The job market down here in San Diego has been brutal, and most of my friends (other 2000 grads) are either unhappy at their current jobs or out of a job. I really wasn't expecting much from this search, especially since I was interested in corporate, but I've gotten two interviews, and they went really well! I'll keep you updated on my progress, but I think I might expand my search to include the LA area, too. I'll let you know.

Thanks!
-Kerry
Dear Legal Authority Crew - Wanted to let you know that out of the 200 letters, I have gotten four interviews so far. I'm optimistic that more will come. Can't believe it, though, because most attorneys who have been practicing as long as I have (almost 20 years - yikes!) have to have a book of business before a firm will even consider them. You've been great.
-Lorraine
Just wanted to send you a quick note and say thanks. I only sent out my letters last week (around Thursday), and I got an interview today (Monday)!! I'm expecting quite a few more in the days to come. The more amazing thing is that this is a firm that I would think had already filled all of its summer associate's positions!

Thank you so much! I'll keep you informed as interviews come in.
Annie



I'm amazed.

I sent approximately 300 resumes out a little over a week ago and I have already been hired by a firm!! I was lined up for several other interviews, but the fit with this firm was very good and I will be calling the others to cancel. I didn't expect to get hired this quickly and now I am scrambling to find after-school care for my children. I thought I had plenty of time!

Thanks a bunch.
-Kelly
Hi - I sent out 150 or so resumes to Colorado with your service six months ago, and got 3 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!
-Russ
I just wanted to email and let you know that, as a result of the service Legal Authority provided, I have received two interviews so far! Since I'm looking for my first job after law school, and I'm looking across the country, I can't imagine a better result!

Thanks again.
-Caroline
offer! The firm is a smaller firm that works in a variety of areas like business and commercial litigation. They seemed really excited that they got my resume, even though I went to Pace, and didn't do that well. I guess they had been looking quietly for someone for a while and hadn't had any good prospects. Anyways, I start work on Monday and think it will be a good fit for me. Thanks for your hard work.
-O.M.
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!
-Alicia
Just wanted to thank you for all your help. I found a great little firm where I'm much happier and I owe it all to you. This place is just the right size, not too small not too big, and the people are very chill. The firm does both transactional and litigation work, and I'm getting great experience. I got quite a high number of interviews, I'd say close to 10 places, plus I got calls even after accepting this job, from great places like Boies Schiller and Littler Mendelsohn. Anyway, it all worked out and I'm very grateful, especially considering how bad the market seems to be these days.

You're the best!
