Traditional Law School Admissions Coaches

Welcome to my profile! As a Harvard Law School graduate and a former corporate associate at Skadden, I bring extensive experience in law school admissions coaching. I have successfully guided over 100 aspiring law students through the competitive admissions process, leveraging my expertise as a pre-law tutor at Harvard College, a Truman Albright Fellow mentor, and served as a fellowships advisor at Yale. Currently, I serve as the Director of a Legal Academic Pipeline Program at a top three law school, where I mentor students pursuing careers in law teaching and academia. With insider knowledge of what top law schools seek, I specialize in strategic school selection, crafting compelling personal statements, and optimizing application materials. Whether you're navigating the complexities of law school admissions or refining your unique narrative, I offer tailored, results-driven support to help you succeed. Let’s work together to turn your law school aspirations into reality!

I have advised hundreds and hundreds of law school applicants over an almost twenty year period. I am an expert in law school admissions and have also published a book and a nationwide column about it. Many applicants that I have advised have been admitted to their top choice of law schools. Some of my former students have also received up to full scholarships to law school. I am also an expert on the subject of legal careers, as well as alternative legal careers. 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 help law school applicants tell powerful stories, elevate their writing, and stand out in the most competitive cycles. I know how to build a winning narrative because I’ve lived it — from being first-generation, to working at McKinsey, to earning admission to Stanford Law. I’ll help you take your background (traditional or not) and make it unforgettable. I focus on what actually matters to admissions committees: clarity, authenticity, strategic positioning, and polished, high-impact writing. You’ll walk away with statements that feel true to you — and stronger than anything you’d produce alone. If you’re aiming for T14, a scholarship, or want your story to land with maximum effect, let’s work together.

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 been working with law school candidates since before I even started law school myself! I take pride in the fact that I have helped numerous students shoot above their scores and receive admissions to top schools that were considered "reaches" for them such as Ivy League programs.

For years I have helped people navigate the law school admissions process for top tier schools. My approach is about partnering with you to craft the most compelling story, and to help you shine through every facet of the application - from essays, to recommenders, to the interview. In spite of application weaknesses in GPA and test scores, my clients have been accepted to Harvard, Stanford, and other top programs.
