Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.
