    Why talk to Darin Morgan?

    Theresa Topping joined Blank Rome LLP's District of Columbia office in the Labor & Employment group.

    I could not recommend Darin enough! Not only did he lead me through an AmLaw 100 application and interview process resulting in an offer, he made himself available for my countless questions all while being the ultimate advocate placing myself in the best position as an applicant. I’m grateful for Darin’s wise words and encouragement throughout the process. His expertise and knowledge of the legal field job market was evident after our first conversation. It’s safe to say he’s the best of the best to work with and I’d recommend him ten times over.
