What People Are Saying

“I had the good fortune of working with David Garber and Princeton Legal Search when I decided to pursue an in-house position after serving as a federal prosecutor for 10 years.  David made the search experience an extremely positive one, which resulted in my current role as General Counsel for a great company.  From the start, David took his time to get to know me as a person and as an attorney.  He also had great insight into the job I was applying for.  His assistance during the process was invaluable.  David is the consummate professional and is well respected in the legal industry.  Anyone looking for an in-house position would be lucky to work with David and his team at Princeton Legal Search.”

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.

“Without a doubt, my experience with Princeton Legal has been nothing short of outstanding!  From start to finish, the team was professional, insightful, and impactful.  I can confidently say that my transition from Big Law to a genuinely unique and well-fitting opportunity was only made possible by the diligent work of David Garber and Mike Capetola.  Throughout the process, they provided candid assessments of my candidacy and routinely discussed interview preparation and application strategy.  I recommend Princeton Legal to anyone seeking quality career counsel and especially to those who are seeking opportunities that are specifically tailored to their interests and potential.”
