    Why talk to Austin Hale?

    Daniyal Habib joined Troutman Pepper Locke's Los Angeles office in the Consumer Finance group.

    Austin helped me secure my current lateral associate role that is a great fit for me. From the beginning of the process, Austin was communicative, responsive, candid, and helpful. I’ve worked with a number of recruiters and Austin was one of, if not the most impressive in terms of his connections in the industry. I would happily recommend him and work with him again.

She is very responsive and was not in a rush but willing to take the time to find the right fit. In addition, she takes the time to get to know you and your practice at the outset and is creative in her approach. Jenny is someone you can trust to guide you in your search with integrity.
