About
Built by an attorney who has been through all of it
I took a nontraditional path to becoming an attorney. I began my career in accounting and tax, working with complex financial and legal issues, before deciding to pursue law. Along the way I also earned an MBA, founded and operated my own business, and attended law school while continuing to build professional experience.
My path to law school started with the LSAT. I studied for the exam for more than a year, about 13 months in all, and raised my score by 14 points. That gave me firsthand experience with both the academic and the mental challenges of long-term LSAT preparation. It shaped my belief that LSAT prep should be structured, sustainable, and focused on actually understanding why you are getting questions right or wrong, not on completing as many questions as possible.
After the LSAT, I went on to earn my J.D. and pass the Uniform Bar Examination with a score of 306. I am now a licensed attorney in three states and practice as a litigation attorney. Before becoming an attorney, I spent more than two years working as a law clerk. Most of that work was billing appeals, along with conducting legal research, analyzing evidence and case records, and drafting legal memoranda, pleadings, and other legal documents.
I created this course because I have experienced the entire process that LSAT students are working toward: preparing for the LSAT, applying to and attending law school, taking the bar exam, and ultimately practicing law. The goal of this course is not just to point you to LSAT questions. It is to provide the structure, strategies, and perspective I wish I had when I began studying.

What I believe about LSAT prep
The message of the whole course, in one place.
The LSAT is important. Take it seriously. Give yourself enough time. Study consistently. Learn from your mistakes. Do not let one bad score destroy your confidence. Do not rush the test just to get it over with. Your goal is to walk into the real LSAT having already shown, through your practice results, that you are prepared.
Give yourself enough time
There is nothing wrong with studying for a long time. I recommend about a year. Sixty days here means sixty study sessions, ideally five a week, and you can go through the program more than once.
Be consistent, not consumed
Steady work beats marathon sessions. Keep your sleep, your relationships, and the rest of your life.
Review as much as you practice
The goal is to understand why each answer is right or wrong, not to get through hundreds of questions.
Treat a bad score as feedback
Look at what it tells you, learn from it, and move forward. Watch trends, not single results.
Take the test when you are ready
Let your recent practice results decide, not the date on a calendar or a registration you already paid for.
Think about what comes after
The score affects admission and cost. The course also covers scholarships, choosing a school, and what practice is like.
