One Successful Placement at a Time

“Adam is more than a recruiter, he is a life advisor who always kept my best interests in mind and was instrumental in developing my career advancement strategy. He is genuine, knows the market, worked tirelessly to find me my dream job, and was always available to take my numerous calls. Adam’s advice is sound and I would not hesitate to work with him again. Overall he is a great legal recruiter who stands out in a crowded field.”

John Maselli

Partner at DLA Piper

“I was considering a move, but had a number of bespoke constraints around geography, timing of move and industry. Adam and his former colleagues understood my requirements, guided me through several challenges—including an initial rejection by my top choice firm—and eventually got me here through constant communication and hustling for a solution. I just made partner at the same firm. So while I don’t plan on being a repeat customer, I highly recommend Adam to anyone considering a move!”

Peter Park

“I truly felt that Adam cared about my long term success, he listened and executed on what he heard quickly and effectively. He’s placed me twice and I’m positive I’ll use him again if I ever decide to make another move. I highly recommend Adam and if you’d like to discuss my experience with him more, I’d be happy to jump on a call.”

Yashreeka Huq

“Adam is extremely savvy and I could rely on him to communicate effectively with potential employers. He is very patient and carefully listened to/addressed my concerns.”

Deul Lim

“Adam has been a tremendous resource and sounding board for me over the years. He’s never pushy but will always offer his frank opinion, given with only his client’s best interests in mind. He was very helpful with helping me pull the trigger to move to Cooley, which I haven’t regretted for a second! Most importantly, Adam is a cool, down-to-earth guy and a real pleasure to work with.”

Kevin Cooper

“Adam was a pleasure to work with. He was a tremendous help during my search, providing insightful and honest guidance throughout the process. Adam is highly knowledgeable about the legal market and provides prompt and thoughtful responses to all questions. I highly recommend Adam.”

John Bradshaw

“Adam was a great resource when I was looking to make a move from the east coast to the west coast. Not only was he flexible to work around my busy schedule, he was also patient with me and was always responsive whenever I had questions. He was also great in helping me negotiate with my new employer to make sure I got everything I needed. In addition, I could not have found my new job without Adam. He listened to what I wanted and found me a great opportunity.”

Melody Alvarado Latino

“Adam was instrumental in helping me transition law firms. Not only does he have great expertise on the lateral attorney market, but he was thoughtful about my professional goals. He did an excellent job at helping me find the right fit.”
