Working with Spivey Consulting

Client Intake Update for 2015/2016 Cycle

A quick update for those interested in our services. As of 5/4/2015 we have hit 50% capacity.

A brief note on doing admissions consulting the right way

Just about every week we talk to people who we do not believe we can substantially help, or we are not convinced should go to law school. We tell them exactly this. There are many reasons we do this, but they all boil down to the simple fact that we would much rather help others, and help others the right way, than have someone send us a check.
