Your Personal Statement is personal, and I believe my recommendations should be too – personal to you.
“As a practicing litigator and trial lawyer, I have written more than 1,400 briefs. As an arbitrator and appellate arbitrator, I have written thousands of arbitral decisions. And as a teacher, for years I taught students, many of them third year honors students, how to write and how to improve their writing. I can do this for you.”

How I can help: Experienced in Law and Teaching Writing
I’m a writer and I’ve coached writers for many years.
There’s no quick fix. A few edits won’t turn your statement into the strong and compelling story it needs to be.
What matters are the right “bones” from the start—the idea, the story, the self-portrait only you can provide. I help you uncover these and shape them into clear, powerful writing.
I’m also a lawyer, admitted in New York, so I know what law firms expect. And I know your admissions officer will be looking for those same skills.
What Your Personal Statement Package Includes
It doesn’t have to be complicated. We offer one basic package – a detailed edit of FOUR drafts of your Personal Statement followed by a discussion via phone consultation of each draft.

When all is said and done, law school admissions officers and readers agree that the most effective Personal Statement is the one that has a strong voice and tells a story that COMPELS the reader’s attention.
We assure you that you will tell your story well – with a Personal Statement that speaks with passion and sincerity.
And we’ll give careful attention to all the technical elements of writing that your law school reviewers will be looking for, the basic things that could make or break your essay.
Our services provide support for one personal essay.
If you feel you need further support, we will provide it at our standard hourly rate.
We can also provide help for additional essays for law school, diversity statements, and resumes.
Affordable Help With Your Personal Statement
Law school is very expensive, and we don’t want to start those heavy expenses here.
Comparing others’ fees with ours, you will find our fees to be significantly lower. This is because we do not want to charge more, and we’re able to charge less since we do not have the overhead costs and the distractions of large operations. Also our model focuses on just one thing, your Personal Statement.
You’ll be my personal client. I will work with a limited number of applicants to allow for more attention to you. I will not charge you for an initial consultation because you shouldn’t have to pay to find out if you can work with me, and I shouldn’t be charging you to find out if I can work with you.
