What People Are Saying

“When you finally get the approval to move forward and add headcount, you know the organization and Department need somebody a month ago if not earlier. This is when I turn to David and can count on him to immediately focus on the search knowing he will professionally present me with a package of qualified candidates backed with his meaningful insight and ranking. Throughout the process, David is also extremely accessible and becomes a valuable partner in the selection process.”

- Gregory Mayes, Chief Operating Officer , Vice President, General Counsel
Advaxis, Inc.

“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.”

- Aaron McKenney, Associate General Counsel
McKenna & Associates, LLC

“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.”
