Law School Admissions

Experienced law school admissions counselor with extensive track record of success, including acceptances to all T14 schools. Extensive experience working with students from China and Korea, students with learning disabilities, and anxiety.

Navigating the elite admissions landscape isn’t just about having a perfect transcript; it’s about narrative strategy and the 'Triple Threat' edge. My academic foundation is equally rigorous: I graduated from Cornell University with a 4.19 GPA and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa as a junior. I don't just 'edit' essays; I help you architect a profile that stands out in a sea of high stats. I have mastered the art of the scholarship-winning narrative, securing hundreds of thousands of dollars in merit aid across the country’s top programs. I bring fresh, real-time insights from the current admissions cycle. I know exactly what it takes to get the 'Yes' from both Law admissions committees, and I am dedicated to helping you translate your unique experiences into an irresistible application.

Welcome to my profile! As a graduate of NYU School of Law and a Root-Tilden-Kern Scholar, I have firsthand experience navigating the competitive law school admissions process. I secured a full tuition scholarship and was accepted to Ivy League law schools, as well. My professional journey includes roles as Legal Counsel at BlackRock and as an Investment Management Associate at top law firms like Morgan Lewis and Goodwin Procter LLP. With my background, I have successfully coached aspiring law students, helping them craft compelling applications and prepare for interviews. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier law school or need guidance on your personal statement, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and strategize your path to law school!

As a former Associate Director of Admissions at Stanford Law School, I have read thousands of applications front to back, and have a deep understanding of what top law schools are looking for. It is more than just trying to 'stand out' from the crowd. You will need to craft a highly compelling story so that you convince the admissions committee that you have amazing potential as a law student, AND you will make a valuable contribution. I have many years of experience helping prospective law students gain admission to their dream schools - even those with less than optimal GPAs and LSAT scores. I am a strong believer that an applicant is more than the numbers - but the essay is the make-it or break-it factor. I will be your thought partner and supportive advisor from start to finish. I have expertise developing individualized time lines, school lists, letters of recommendation, resumes, essays (required and optional), character and fitness paragraphs, managing waitlists and even negotiating financial aid awards. I am here to answer any question that may come up throughout this time consuming and oftentimes overwhelming process, and we will have fun working together. You can do this, and I am here to help!

I’m a former Law Review editor and Big Law Associate with firsthand experience navigating the T14 admissions process and the transfer process, having started at Berkeley before transferring to HLS. I’ve worked at top tech companies and with reputable law firms, giving me deep insight into what law schools and employers are looking for in their candidates. Whether you're aiming for Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or another T14—or considering the transfer route, I’ll help you craft a compelling application, position your unique story, and maximize your chances of admission and scholarships. I’ve coached multiple applicants into top law schools, securing substantial scholarships, and I can help you do the same. If you want a no-BS, results-driven approach to law school admissions, let’s work together!

Brian brings over ten years of experience in admissions to world-renowned universities in the US and UK. He specializes in admissions strategies for elite graduate programs in law, business, public policy, finance, and economics. He has a decade-long track record of successfully guiding students to T14 law schools, Ivy League universities, Top 20 U.S. universities, and M7 business schools, including institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia, UPenn, Yale, UChicago, Cornell, Dartmouth, London School of Economics, King's College London, Duke, Georgetown, NYU, UCLA, USC, Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins. Brian was personally admitted to multiple Ivy League law schools before choosing to pursue a JD at UC Berkeley. He also holds a master of social science from UCLA.

I got into UVA Law — a T14 — as a first-generation, low-income applicant with a 3.4 GPA and a 150 LSAT, both below their medians. I know what it takes to earn a "yes" when the stats say no, because those were my numbers. I've also worked the other side of the desk: as an admissions counselor at Empowerly and my law school's BLSA Membership Chair, working alongside UVA Law admissions on recruiting, where I saw how a top admissions office actually weighs a file. The applicants I've mentored have gone on to UVA Law, Duke, and Stanford. And as a practicing commercial litigator at a boutique trial firm, I can tell you what the legal career on the other side of this application really looks like — not the BigLaw-desk version. My focus is splitters and underdog applicants: first-generation, low-income, and non-traditional students who keep being told their numbers aren't good enough. Your LSAT is not your ceiling.

Does the prospect of applying to law school feel frustrating, overwhelming, or just too complicated? Then I'm your coach! While I just started my own law school admissions consulting business in 2025, I have nearly a decade of experience in law school admissions with eight of those years being at the University of Houston Law Center. I have read thousands of law school applications and can help you put your best foot forward in the application process. I will work with just about anyone, but I specialize in helping individuals from underrepresented communities find their perfect law school fit and those who aren't necessarily aiming for Ivy Leagues/T-14/T-30 schools (but if that's your goal, I'm more than happy to help). My expertise extends to anyone aiming to navigate the complex admissions landscape. Law school admissions is competitive, but there's a school out there for everyone. Let's connect and clear your path to law school success!

I've spent more than a decade helping people get into law school, and I've seen the process from every side: as a student, a lawyer, a teacher and the person running the program. I earned my JD from Chicago-Kent College of Law and I'm an active member of the Illinois Bar. Before that, I studied history at the University of Chicago. I've clerked at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and practiced as managing partner of my own firm, so I can tell you what law school is actually preparing you for. I started teaching for The Princeton Review in 2014 and went on to become National Director of Operations for its graduate programs. In that role, I oversaw LSAT and admissions programs for more than 35,000 students, including a period when LSAT demand nearly quadrupled. I also hired and trained hundreds of instructors, and advised staff on how law school admissions really works. I'll help you build a plan that fits your numbers, your timeline and your story, then work through it with you step by step. My approach is calm and practical. Good coaching should make this process feel more manageable, not more stressful.
