    Why talk to Alice Lingo?

    Andrew Vazquez joined Cozen O'Connor's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Alice was really great and super responsive to my interests in a new law firm. She quickly helped me get interviews due to the extensive connections she has throughout the legal space. Alice instantly knew what firms would be a good fit for what I was looking for and did not try to push me into applying for positions I didn't want.
