Ask me anything. I mean it.
Mentorship for law students, pre-law students, and new attorneys.
Why I do this
There was no map, so I drew one. You don't have to.
I'm the first lawyer in my immediate family. When I had questions about law school, the bar exam, or what a legal career actually looks like, I couldn't call a relative. I worked it out with my sisters, a lot of hustle, and faith.
Since then I've clerked for a Superior Court judge, served as a Deputy Attorney General for the State of New Jersey, practiced at a large national law firm and at regional firms, passed the bar in three states, and started my own firm. I learned a lot along the way, often the hard way. I'd rather you learn it over coffee.
Who this is for
College and pre-law students deciding whether law school is right for them
Law students thinking about clinics, journals, clerkships, summer jobs, and the bar exam
New attorneys in roughly their first five years, especially in litigation, government, or big-firm practice
Lawyers thinking about going out on their own and wondering what it really takes
You must be 18 or older to submit a request.

How it works
01
Tell me about yourself.
Fill out the short form below. It takes about five minutes.
02
I read every request.
If it's a good fit, we'll set up a 30-minute video call.
03
We go from there.
Some people need one honest conversation. Others want to check in once a semester. We'll decide together.
A few honest notes
- I can't say yes to every request, but I read every one.
- Mentorship is free. It isn't a job, internship, or interview, and it doesn't lead to one.
- I can't give legal advice through this program. If you have a legal problem, please use the Contact page instead.
- Please don't share details about any legal matter, yours or anyone else's, in this form.
