    Christian Chessman joined DLA’s District of Columbia office in the Patent Litigation group.

    I cannot recommend Priya highly enough. At every step of the process, Priya was supportive, insightful, and effective. Priya used her close contacts at top firms to get me interview offers within *48 hours* of sending out my resume. Despite interviewing on a chaotic and difficult schedule (because of Covid), Priya made the process seamless by handling every aspect of travel, lodging, and transport. I was able to focus fully on interview preparation because I confidently (and ultimately, correctly) believed that Priya had fully handled logistics. Priya also took my calls at all hours of the day, guided me through specific approaches to interviewing, and helped assuage worries I had during the interview process. As a result, Priya helped me successfully secure nine job offers from AmLaw 100 firms. I am still at the firm that Priya placed me at, and I consider Priya not only a professional colleague, but a genuine friend. In short, as I said at the start: I cannot recommend Priya highly enough.

    Sean Robinson joined DLA’s District of Columbia office in the Intellectual Property group.

    A chain of work colleagues put me in touch with Susan when I wanted to transition to a new position. Susan was extremely transparent about her process and asked for my explicit permission before contacting firms on my behalf, which gave me the chance to research firms and decide whether I felt the fit was right. Susan helped me learn information about firms and helped me practice my interview skills so I went into an interview confident and armed with knowledge that immediately struck a chord with the people who interviewed me. She never gave up on me, even when I got discouraged. I got a great job with DLA Piper thanks to Susan's hard work, and I'm extremely happy!
