Priority one · Legal staffing & recruiting

A resume can't tell you who will fit your firm. A conversation can.

I've spent five years in Sacramento's courtrooms, bar events and law offices. I know who's good, who's looking, and which firms they'd thrive in. Before I send you anyone, I sit down with you to learn what the job really takes and what your culture really is.

  1. We meet in person

    I come to you. We talk about the role, your team, how you work and what good looks like at your firm.

  2. We define the hire

    I help you write the job description and pin down what this person actually needs to do to get the work done.

  3. I make the match

    You meet a short list of people I've already talked with, vetted for skill and for fit with your people.

  4. 90 days, guaranteed

    You only pay once the hire has made it through the 90-day guarantee period. If it isn't working out, I search again for free.

  • Attorneys
  • Paralegals
  • Legal assistants
  • Office managers
  • And more

Think of me as a member of your team, not a vendor.

Most recruiters send resumes. I send people I've talked to, for firms I've actually sat down with. I'm your relationship manager: the one person who knows your firm, your culture and your standards, and who stays in your corner after the placement.

I know this market

Years of events, trials and relationships mean I know the local firms and the talent at every level, from the front desk to the partner track.

Culture and performance, together

Skills get a person through an interview. Fit decides whether they're still thriving in a year. I screen for both.

Job descriptions that work

I'll help you define what the role really needs, so you attract the right people instead of a pile of the wrong ones.

Nothing to lose

No fee until the hire clears 90 days. If it doesn't work out, you get a free replacement search.

Simple pricing

You pay after the 90-day guarantee period. Not before.

  • No retainer and no upfront fee.
  • The 15% fee is due only once your new hire has cleared 90 days.
  • If it doesn't work out within the 90 days, I run a free replacement search.
Priority two · Supercharge your staff with Claude

Short-staffed, or just stretched thin?

AI that fits your firm. And I'm in the room to build it.

Sometimes the answer isn't another hire. It's giving the great people you already have back the hours that repetitive, tedious work is eating. I show you how to use Claude inside your firm to do exactly that.

1

I sit down with your staff

Not a webinar. I'm in your office, next to the people doing the work, asking where their day actually goes.

  • Repetitive tasks
  • Tedious drafting
  • Re-typing the same data
2

We find the time sucks

Together we list what's slow, repetitive or just plain tedious, and decide what to take off their plates first.

3

I build it around your procedures

Custom workflows and AI shaped to your firm's way of working, so your people don't have to change how they work to fit a tool.

My unpopular take

Every legal AI product is built on the same large language models. You may only need one of them, set up the way your firm works.

Legal AI software runs on LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude. In my experience, Claude is the only real solution a firm needs, and it can be customized around your own internal organization. You shouldn't have to rearrange how you work to suit one expensive platform. Every law firm is different, and no single provider can cover those unique processes. So we build something that helps your firm grow and still works your way.

Pricing depends on scope and duration. Your firm's own policies and professional obligations always come first, and we build around them.

About Sarah

I've been the boots on the ground in your corner of the legal world.

For five years I worked across Northern California providing litigation support and trial services. I hosted events for the California Supreme Court and worked with organizations like ABOTA, the Association of Defense Counsel, Sac Bar and the Legal Professionals Association.

In that time I came to really understand my law firm clients: how they work, what their staff carry, and what separates a good hire from a great one. I know the local market, the firms, and people at every level of legal staffing.

That's why I do two things: find you the right people, and make the people you have more powerful.
