What People Are Saying

Princeton Legal, and Kiersten Lenherr in particular, are my heroes!  Prior to meeting with Kiersten, I had it in my mind that I may want to make a job change, but I was so intimidated by the application process, the time commitment of getting my materials together, and the prospect of interviewing for the first time in several years, that I kept putting it off.  Kiersten and her team made the entire process so smooth and simple for me.  From our very first conversation, I knew I was in good hands.  Princeton Legal takes the time to get to know the candidate, so you know you are getting an introduction and recommendation that highlights your best qualities.  From there, everything was seemless.  Kiersten went above and beyond to be available for my calls, questions, concerns (aka panic as I waited for my offer), and all the in-between.  She and David also helped me through the negotiation of the particulars of my offer, and the transition from my previous firm.  I cannot recommend this team enough.  Thank you times a million to Kiersten and Princeton Legal!

“Working with David on my most recent search took the pressure and stress out of the hiring process. True to their Code of Ethics, the firm was honest, respectful, and responsive. My high expectations regarding service were met, and the firm found us an excellent attorney. The way they did their job allowed me more time to focus on mine. I will hire Princeton Legal Search again.”

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.
