    Why talk to Darin Morgan?

    Chelsea Rubio joined McDermott Will & Schulte's District of Columbia office in the Trusts & Estates group.

    I was so fortunate to have picked up Darin's call by accident months ago, not realizing how useful he would be when I was ready to look for a new job. Darin actively applied to positions on my behalf and communicated updates with me regularly. He provided excellent materials and tips on interview prepping and even sent me sample answers to hard questions that would likely come up. Darin was very professional and easy to connect with when needed. I highly recommend Darin and his company.
