Since I'm no longer practicing law, students often ask if I regret going to law school. Absolutely not! I met some great people, and it was extremely intellectually stimulating and a lot of fun. I also got to practice law - a challenging, exciting job that also pays pretty well! But at heart, I'm a teacher and a writer, and I know that I'm doing what I should be doing. If you know (or even think!) that what you should be doing is going to law school, drop a line - I'll help you get there!
Shortly after I had established my own legal practice, a friend contacted me asking for help with a couple of logic games. She was taking a prep class from a major test prep company, but the instructor either couldn't explain it in a way that made sense to her or didn't have enough time to cover it (they're generally on script and a tight time schedule). I was absolutely stunned to hear that she had spent well over $1,000 (little did I know about the industry) for such a cookie-cutter approach that wasn't helping that much. I did a little advertising online, got some students and some ongoing referrals, wrote a couple of books on the LSAT, and became the Director of Product Development for a low-cost test prep company, Campus Prep. Before I knew it, I was quite busy year-round, so I quit renewing my bar dues, and now I help students year-round.
A former practicing attorney, Dan's 99th percentile LSAT score got him into UCLA School of Law, #16 in the country at the time. He has written two books on the LSAT and helped hundreds of students prepare for the test over the past several years.

For better or for worse, here's the bottom line: The biggest factor that determines what job opportunities you have as an attorney is where you went to law school. The biggest factor that determines whether or not a law school accepts you is the LSAT. Your competitors (i.e. future fellow law students) are getting help. You can get better help!
