Frequently Asked Questions About Law School Admissions

What background issues can impact my law school admission?

Your suitability for admission is going to rely not just on your test scores and academic accomplishments, but also on your character. Instances in your education, professional, and personal background are all subject to scrutiny. Background issues that can impact your admission include:

Criminal history
Outstanding legal matters
Financial irresponsibility, including unpaid debts or bankruptcies
School or employment disciplinary actions
Dishonesty, plagiarism, misconduct, and other academic missteps

The bottom line is that many issues, not just these, can put your application in jeopardy. David will review your unique circumstances and identify areas of concern that he can help you with.

Do I really need an attorney to get into law school?

After the investment of time and money you have made in your pre-law education, you don’t want anything standing between you and your successful admission to law school.

Working with David puts you squarely ahead of any risks or potential red flags. His insights will guide you toward compiling the strongest possible application, so you can move confidently on to the next stage of your career preparation.

Will my law school admission application have any bearing on my ability to practice law?
