TESTIMONIALS

"Cindy is the best legal recruiter I've encountered in 25 years in the D.C. legal market.  On my last move to a top international firm, Cindy spent a ton of time getting to know me personally and professionally.  She was pivotal – and extremely patient – in helping me find the right fit in a market where a lot of practices and firms seem similar, at least from the outside.  Although I've been settled for years, we still talk frequently.  Cindy is extremely knowledgeable, well connected, down to earth, trustworthy, funny and kind.  I will continue to look to her in hiring other lawyers for my firm and certainly for any move I make in the future."

“Cindy has the depth of experience and tenacity to find excellent opportunities for her candidates. I knew that I might not be an easy placement, having come out of a long career in the government. Using her experience and knowledge of the firms, Cindy leveraged my skills, and I had an interview within a week. It was a terrific opportunity – to join a top Am Law 15 firm as a partner – and her candid advice during the hiring process was exceptional.”       

"I often receive telephone calls or e-mails from legal recruiters, and I have worked with a few recruiters in different capacities during my career. Cindy is different from the rest, though, in the best possible way. Cindy is honest, ethical, responsive, and extraordinarily talented. She listens to your goals and sets forth a plan for how to reach those goals. Cindy's service-first mentality is readily apparent through my work with her."   

"Cindy is hands-down the best legal recruiter I’ve ever worked with in eight years in the NYC legal market.  I was introduced to Cindy by a former colleague (who Cindy successfully placed at a top law firm).  Unlike many recruiters who play a numbers game and just forward your documents to law firms without any input, Cindy adds immense value and gets you in the room.  During my first search, Cindy submitted me to a top law firm that rarely ever takes lateral associates.  I was fortunate to be invited for an interview, where the top partner who leads the practice read to me from Cindy’s cover letter, noting that he was very impressed and that it was “not the typical candidate submission” they normally see from recruiters.  I worked with Cindy on two lateral moves between international law firms over the years, and each time she invested hours and days in my candidacy, polishing and tailoring my documents to best fit each law firm.  She is thoughtful, smart, patient, and reliable.  Cindy also had strong, senior contacts in each of the international law firms I applied to and was very highly regarded by them.  Working with a legal recruiter of her caliber made a huge difference in my submissions, and firms noticed. I have since referred to Cindy every attorney who asked me about a legal recruiter.  You would hear nothing but praise and gratitude from every person who has ever worked with her.  There is no question that I will continue to work with Cindy on any future moves.  I could not recommend her more."

"Cindy Finn is the industry expert and confidante that can guide you to the next step in your legal career.  Cindy worked closely with me to identify opportunities at top-flight law firms that aligned with my specific skillset, interests, and professional ambitions.  She was my advocate behind the scenes and an invaluable counselor.  My success as a lawyer is attributable to the family, friends, mentors, and advisors who invested time in me, and I am grateful to count Cindy as part of that trusted group."

“Cindy is outstanding. She is focused on helping the lawyers with whom she works, ensuring that they are active participants in the recruitment process. She serves as an advocate for them and also makes sure they are aware of the pros/cons, and ins/outs of every opportunity. She is completely honest and focused on overall making sure the individual is happy with whatever decision they make. Cindy is the consummate recruiter, and I would work with her again.” 

"Cindy recently assisted me with a job search.  Searching for a new job at a law firm is both daunting and nuanced.  Cindy possesses significant knowledge about the legal market and presented me with many prospective opportunities, and provided assistance helping me to decide whether certain firms were indeed the right “fit.”  Cindy fully prepared me for the process and actively engaged with prospective employers every step of the way.  She was armed with expertise, information and well-placed advice.  She provided a needed perspective in a positive way that I otherwise would never have considered.  She was my advocate.  After Cindy’s hard work, I indeed had many new partnership opportunities, and would have enjoyed taking almost any of them.  I recommend Cindy without reservation to both law firms needing a terrific recruiter and lawyers seeking a change in employment." 

“Cindy's years of experience in the legal market provides her with deep insights into the subtleties of firm cultures. She listened carefully to my needs and the culture I sought and introduced me to a firm with a culture that was just right.”
