Law School Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Clients I’ve worked with have earned admission to T-14 programs and received significant scholarship awards, including applicants with unconventional paths or imperfect GPAs. Personally, I navigated the process twice (once with the GRE and once with the LSAT) and received multiple T-14 offers and scholarship packages, which gives me firsthand insight into how schools evaluate applicants. While I work with all candidates, I consider my coaching ideal for applicants with nontraditional backgrounds, career pivots, gap years, or imperfect GPA/LSAT profiles. Over the past several years, I’ve coached applicants with every kind of background. This ranges from traditional and non-traditional applications. Prospective students and clients have entered feeling they had imperfect credentials and often left with competitive admissions and scholarship decisions. Beyond my admissions experience, I bring a commercial and legal background that helps applicants articulate their professional maturity, career readiness, and real-world value in ways admissions committees respond to. I don’t just edit essays, in fact I'd suggest I'm not the best coach if tha'ts your main aim. I help you build a strategy that highlights your strengths, neutralizes weaknesses, and presents a cohesive, compelling story. The law school process can feel opaque and inconsistent. My role is to make it clear, structured, and tailored to you, so you’re confident you’re making the strongest possible case at every step.

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 have advised hundreds and hundreds of law school applicants over an almost twenty year period.

In addition I have taught several courses for students planning to apply to law school. I am a graduate of Brown University and Boston College Law School.

I worked closely with a law school admissions coach during my own application process, which gave me a deep understanding of admissions strategy, timing, and what law schools are truly looking for in successful applicants. I applied to nine law schools and was accepted to all of them. Through that process, I learned how to craft compelling personal statements, build cohesive application narratives, and strategically position experiences and goals to stand out. As a current law student, I enjoy helping applicants clarify their stories, strengthen their materials, and approach the admissions process with confidence and intention.
