BRITTNEY'S TESTIMONIALS

Brittney played such a helpful role in my application process! From talking to me about law schools and financial aid to reading over my written materials - Brittney was supportive and accessible throughout my application journey. Even after I was admitted, she checked in on me and we stayed connected. Having a friend and mentor throughout the process, from start to finish, was invaluable. Even more, it’s great to connect with someone who looks like you and can give real perspective on the experience. Black attorneys are not very common, so it’s great being connected to a law student and attorney who cared so much.
