For no reason at all, I am going to dish out my favorite colleges from the many years I was paid to visit colleges.
I’ve had to turn away a good number of clients, and I have tried very hard to explain to each why that is. It strikes me as a good idea to outline this policy a bit here.
A dean of a law school told me once that he could tell who would win a moot court competition within 5 minutes of the arrival of the competitors—before the competition even started.

I had an awesome experience with Margo from beginning to end. She provided me with excellent feedback on how to reorganize my strategy to approach MD/PhD admissions as well as where to spend my time. Following this, we worked on multiple different drafts for every important essay including the activities section. Finally, Margo helped me prepare for a few exhaustive interviews to contextualize my answers better for programs that I interviewed for. I received multiple admissions to medical schools and MD/PhD programs and cannot thank Margo enough for her support.
Julia Truemper is an incredible law school admissions professional. I worked closely with Julia at a top 20 law school, and she brings a high level of expertise and experience, energy, and care to her work in admissions. She understands every angle of the admissions process from recruiting around the world to interviewing candidates for premier scholarships and wrangling waitlist advising. As a lawyer, Julia knows firsthand what it takes to obtain a J.D., and she truly has a passion for helping others pave their legal paths.
The prospect of starting law school ten years removed from undergrad was daunting in the extreme, however Rob Cacace and the Spivey Pre-L course gave me confidence in my abilities and the inside track on what to expect in 1L. Instead of wasting valuable time learning the mechanics of law school, I will now hit the ground running on day one. I heartily recommend the course to all rising 1Ls.
I really appreciated Peter Cramer’s help throughout the application process, especially given the very positive results. His experience was invaluable and his feedback determinative. I have been very satisfied with the dedication that has been shown to me as a pupil. I am really excited about this next step in my academic and professional development!
Sam is phenomenal. She’s not only strategic, insightful, and a gifted communicator, but she is also incredibly kind and thoughtful. She listens, asks questions, and really gets to know the people she works with in order to hear their story and find out what makes them unique and what sets them apart. Her recent experience with admissions at HLS makes her incredibly qualified on the latest trends in law school admissions and how to maximize your chances of admission to whatever school you’re hoping to attend. From my time working with her, she always knows how to deliver accurate, helpful advice in a way you can use it to improve. She’s also incredibly prompt and responsive, and she puts her all into the people she works with. You can’t go wrong with Sam!
I just wanted to thank Erika for everything she did with my personal statement. I applied to 14 schools, and I have been admitted to all of them! I have finally decided to attend Emory with scholarship money! My highest LSAT score was a 155, and I am confident that I would not have the opportunity to attend Emory if it wasn’t for Erika’s help. I will forever be grateful for her excellent work!
I was referred to Spivey by a friend who insisted the company’s admissions consulting service is worth every penny. Though applying to law school can be quite stressful, Anne Dutia eased all of my concerns with her expertise and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job tailoring my essays, along with other parts of my application, to effectively highlight my strengths and tell my story. Needless to say, the service exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was admitted to my top choice law school with a substantial scholarship. I am truly grateful for having the opportunity to work with Anne and will highly recommend Spivey’s services to anyone interested in applying to law school in the future.
I just wanted to let you know my grades came back this week: 179 (Crim) and 180 (Torts). Apparently the Torts exams were especially competitive this year, so I am particularly proud. I was also better able to apply your methods on that exam, so I think the result is indicative. There is work yet to do, but only 5 grades left until the end of 1L year! Thank you so much again for helping out. Your guidance clearly had an enormous impact on my work.
This course exceeded my expectations. Not only did I get drastically better at legal writing as the course progressed, but also I was able to use Patrick's extensive feedback on my assignments to develop a set of personally-tailored guidelines, which I plan to use as a sort of checklist from now on when I do any legal writing. I will enter law school much more familiar and comfortable with the demands of legal writing because of this course, and I expect that to be extremely valuable.
I am so excited right now! Just got my second semester grades back, and I went up from a 3.3 to a 3.8! I did really well on my issue spotter exams, in huge part because of what you taught me. Thank you so much!
It was great having your Pre-L course teach me how to brief cases, what the Socratic method is like, and how to effectively write. Now that I have started, I feel far ahead of my classmates. I think the best part was having someone to talk through things with, such as outlining and the craziness of law school.
I cannot speak highly enough of Spivey and of Derek Meeker. Derek guided me through the process in a way that was informative, helpful, and effective. It is evident that Spivey consultants have an exceptional understanding of the law school admissions process and can utilize that understanding to truly help their clients. This was a tremendous investment!
Derek was a wonderful resource during my time with Spivey. He helped me navigate the ever-changing and complex world of law school admissions which resulted in me getting accepted to my first choice, an Ivy League institution. I cannot recommend him enough!
Derek from Spivey guided me through three grueling months of pursuit of admission from the waitlist at five different schools during one of the most grueling admissions cycles in law school history. His commitment to precise language, school-specific strategy, and development of unique and fresh ideas in gathering information and expressing interest to schools based on your specific situation as an applicant all amounts to unmatched consultation in law school admissions.
My experience with Sir Williams was nothing short of amazing. He helped me gain admission to a great law school during an incredibly competitive cycle with a surge in applicants. Despite tight deadlines, he was always accommodating, responsive, and fully committed to my success. As a first-generation law student, I feel incredibly grateful to have had his guidance throughout this journey. Yes, the service is a financial investment—but for the level of personalized support and expertise the consultants provide, it’s absolutely worth it
