About Consulting LSAT Get in Touch
Background

A former attorney.
A credentialed educator.
An honest advisor.

This practice was built on a simple premise: the people best positioned to help law school applicants are those who have lived inside the profession, studied how adults learn under pressure, and refused to trade honest counsel for a good review.

I came to admissions consulting through two distinct careers that turned out to be more connected than they first appeared.

After earning my JD from NYU School of Law, I practiced as an attorney — working inside the legal profession long enough to understand what law school actually prepares you for, which schools carry weight in which markets, and how the choices made at the application stage shape the career that follows.

Later, I earned an MsEd from Northwestern University and moved into education full-time — teaching high school social studies before focusing on LSAT instruction and, eventually, private tutoring. That credential isn't decoration. It reflects serious study of how adults acquire complex reasoning skills under pressure — which is precisely what LSAT preparation requires and what effective consulting demands.

The combination is unusual. Most admissions consultants are not attorneys. Most LSAT tutors are not trained teachers. I am both — and the overlap is the point.

The difference

Why this practice.
Why not the others.

The admissions consulting market is large. Most of it is generic. Here is what separates this practice — honestly and specifically.

01

You work with me. Not a junior consultant.

Large consulting firms take your money, assign you to a recent graduate, and give the senior advisor fifteen minutes of review time. Every draft, every strategy session, every decision in this practice goes through me personally.

02

A 176 LSAT — and 11 years of instruction at that level.

I scored 176 on the LSAT — a score no competitor in this market can claim — and I have spent eleven years teaching others to think at that level. Former admissions officers cannot help you with your LSAT score. I can, and I understand the test at a depth that comes from mastering it, not merely from having scored well once.

03

An NYU JD who knows what the profession actually demands.

Choosing which schools to target, which career narrative to build, which firm or public interest path to frame your application around — this requires knowing what legal careers actually look like. I do.

04

I read your application the way an admissions committee does.

Most writing coaches improve your prose. That is not enough. Admissions committees at T14 schools are reading for analytical clarity, persuasive argument, and evidence of the kind of thinking legal work actually demands. Because I am a lawyer and a 176 scorer, I read your personal statement and essays with the same evaluative lens they do — and I can tell you, specifically, whether your narrative is making the case it needs to make. The Northwestern MsEd sits underneath all of it: formal training in how adults improve complex performance under pressure is exactly what it takes to close the gap between where your writing is and where it needs to be.

05

Honest assessment before you spend a dollar.

If your profile doesn't support T14 ambitions, I will tell you clearly and early — before you retain me. That commitment to honesty is unusual in this industry. It's also the only way I'm willing to practice.

06

A small roster by design.

I limit the number of clients I take each cycle. Not because I have to — because the quality of my work depends on it. A waiting list is a feature, not a flaw.

Philosophy

A candid assessment, from the start

The admissions consulting industry doesn't always reward candor — applications get polished, narratives get inflated, and expectations get managed until decisions arrive. I try to do the opposite: give you the most accurate, strategic picture of your candidacy, then help you execute as well as that profile supports.

Sometimes that means telling a prospective client, before they retain me, that their numbers place T14 admissions outside a realistic range. Those aren't easy conversations — but the applicants I do take on deserve a consultant who has had them anyway.

"I'll tell you honestly if I don't think I can help — before you retain me."

"Every application is worked personally by me. No junior associates, no handoffs."

we're a good fit?

The first step is simple: tell me about your candidacy — your LSAT score or target, your GPA, and the schools you're considering. I'll review it personally and let you know honestly what I think, including whether an Assessment Session or LSAT Diagnostic makes sense as a next step.
