Survey Says


  • “This is the only firm that prepares you to be an associate. I split with a BigLaw firm and can comfortably say that this firm did a better job than any other.”
  • “The Summer Trial Training program was an excellent way to prepare and practice the actual experience of litigation. The type of work is very similar, and there is more to do now, but that amount grows with getting comfortable and learning all the different steps for projects.”
