“I was a Partner as a Top 100 Law Firm. I wanted to move in-house but to work somewhere that was a good fit both professionally and personally. David achieved that result. From the first time I met David until my acceptance of the offer to become General Counsel, David provided perfect guidance. David was professional, understanding, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. David and I worked together to navigate a lengthy and extensive interview process. David continuously updated me about the process and provide excellent advice. David is an excellent recruiter and advisor and all-around great guy. I highly recommend David and his team.”

“Having managed many searches as General Counsel and COO of a growing FinTech firm, and now having launched my own firm, I hold Mary Clare and David in the highest regard among recruiters that I have worked with.  Their deep understanding of talent, as well as the needs of in-house teams handling highly sophisticated mandates, shines through at every juncture.  I have greatly enjoyed their professionalism and market savvy, am pleased to have worked with them, and look forward to building on that experience in the future.  I certainly recommend them to anyone seeking premier recruiting services.”

“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.”
