Houston, TX

I just got a job offer from a Fortune 500 in-house counsel office. I want to thank West Career Counseling for Attorneys for assisting me to identify job opportunities suited to my unique background and aspirations. Both the accuracy of the information and the assistance I received from your career counselors contributed greatly to my success.

Wilmette, IL

I really appreciated all of your suggestions on how to revise and update my resume. My credentials are now being presented in a much more powerful and effective way. I'm glad I didn't send out that "old" resume to anyone…it would have been a disaster.

Anne G.
Denver, CO

I was contacted at home yesterday evening and offered a Federal Administrative Law Judge position, which I was happy to accept. I'm very excited about being selected. Thank you for your help with the application and with preparation for the interview. It made a huge difference.

Jessica P.
Albuquerque, NM

I just signed on with the Office of General Counsel at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Thanks. I will continue to offer ringing endorsements and singing praises of your excellent work.

Gerald G.
Alexandria, VA

Thank you again for the very enlightening interview skills training. You pointed out a number of issues that were probably going to be raised (and they were!) and your advice on how to handle those issues was right on the money.

Jeffrey W.
New York, NY

I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help. I am excited about this new opportunity, and I am really looking forward to the challenge of the new job. NCCA’s insights made the difference.

Michael L.
Seattle, WA

I wanted to write you a quick note of appreciation for all of the assistance that you provided to me. I greatly benefited from your marketing suggestions when establishing my own practice. This month the ratings section at Martindale-Hubbell awarded me an AV rating as a solo practitioner. Thanks again for all the assistance that you provided to help me reach this goal.

Jack G.
Virginia Beach, VA

Thanks again for an extremely helpful session - I thought I knew all the places to look for a career position, so was quite surprised that I had never thought of most of the ideas you suggested and that you suggested so many practical, cost-effective educational alternatives to a $40,000 LLM. Now I know why people like to talk to lawyers for career advice - quick, focused, and well-informed.

Carol T.
Tampa, FL

Thank you very much for your detailed information on possible job search ideas. I really appreciate the time you took to share your expertise and I want you to know that I am immediately following up on each of your valuable ideas and specific recommendations.

Harriet A.
Philadelphia, PA

Just to fill you in, a miracle has occurred! I have been working for nearly a month for a mid-size law firm as a trademark associate. Hopefully, this should stick. Thanks for all of your help and great suggestions.

David A

Our meeting was very helpful. You brought up many things I hadn't thought of. I had no idea that there were so many diverse opportunities for which I might qualify.
