What People Are Saying

I had the good fortune to work with David Garber and Princeton Legal through my placement in my new opportunity.  David was extremely thorough in sharing pertinent details and background as to the position and in providing all the information that I needed throughout the interview process.  In the rare instance where he didn’t know the answers to my questions, he quickly found the answers and reported back.  David made the process run smoothly and made sure that I was continually updated as to the progression and timing of the search.  To put it simply, David Garber is a pleasure to work with and most deserving of his excellent reputation.

I’m just about two months into my first in-house position after almost 10 years as a “biglaw” associate. I couldn’t have wished for a better fit. Fortunately, Mary Clare knew my new employer well enough to know a good match when she saw one, and she made sure that I had a chance to prove her right.

She was fantastic during every step of my transition. She answered my questions about the position and about the company—promptly and substantively. And, importantly, she did a fantastic job preparing me for the interviews.

I learned a couple of valuable lessons in this process—go with a recruiter that takes the time to know the company, and that the company trusts. Mary Clare obviously has earned my employer’s trust.

“David is the ultimate professional, and has a unique ability to match a professional’s background and aspirations, with his corporate and law firm clients’ requirements. Making the connection is not David’s ultimate goal, however. He works with candidates and clients in a detailed and approachable manner, to structure resumes so that they best represent the candidate, to keep candidates informed in a real-time fashion as to job status, interview schedule, feedback, and ultimately offer negotiations – all the while being candid, accessible, and honest. If there is one word to characterize the acumen, skill set, and sixth-sense David Garber brings to the legal recruiting industry, that word is INTEGRITY.”
