We have a long history of happy lawyers and tangible impact.
Let’s face it: choosing a lawyer coach and résumé writer is a big decision. You’re not just choosing an expert, you’re also choosing the best partner for you. As you make your decision, it helps to see feedback from past clients.
Since Shauna C. Bryce first formally founded her career services for lawyers in 2006, our goal has been to deliver the highest quality career advising, writing, and client experience. Lawyers often have strong opinions and, over the years, our clients have been generous in letting us know how they felt about whether we’ve succeeded. Although we don’t offer guarantees, we try to stay in touch with our clients over time to ensure they’re on the right track. We try to conduct 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow ups, which gives clients a chance to let us know if we:

“I’ve been singing your praises on the mountaintop.
Since you finished with my LinkedIn profile and my résumé, I have gotten so much interest. In just over a month after working with you, I’ve had multiple offers. I’ve just got, frankly, the offer of a lifetime and accepted it. It’s 2.5 times my current compensation, working for a titan in the industry.
It’s astonishing the difference. I had been looking for a new job for 6 months. *No one* was even talking to me until I worked with you. I went from crickets to people fighting over me. My phone has been ringing off the hook. I was fielding calls from Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and others.
I’ve been talking to my law partners and the recruiters at MLA about it. You really really really helped me. Because you re-wrote all my stuff, I could take the new résumé and put together an amazing response to the recruiter questionnaire. It greatly reduced the amount of time I spent and looked far better than ones I did in the past.
But the job search is all about getting in front of people. The résumé was impactful when it got in front of the businesses leaders. I’ve been shocked about how excited they’ve been about me. These are people who are incredibly well known in the industry. They were practically jumping up and down at my candidacy. And I know it was the way I was presented differently than I was before. I have been telling everyone they need to work with you—including my spouse.
I’m so pleased. Yours is such a valuable process. You can’t put a price on it. I’m only mad at myself that I didn’t contact you sooner. Many, many, many, thank yous. You’re awesome.”
Sample Client Testimonials and Feedback
Below are some of our most recent testimonials. We’ve created a searchable testimonial database from coaching, résumé writing, and LinkedIn clients so that you can find the client feedback most relevant to you.
“Working with Shauna has been a life-changing experience for me. After working with two other legal career coaches, I can confidently say that Shauna is the best. I initially tried the other two coaches while waiting for her calendar to open up, and the difference in results was astounding.
When Shauna revamped my resume, I immediately started receiving calls from recruiters. However, I struggled to convert those interviews into job offers. It wasn't until I enlisted Shauna as my interview coach that everything changed. Her insights and guidance were transformative, enabling me to navigate the interview process with confidence and skill.
Thanks to her exceptional support, I was able to more than double my income. I am incredibly grateful for Shauna's expertise and dedication. Her personality is a bonus—she is non-judgmental and a true gift to work with. She truly is the best in the industry and has made a significant impact on my career and life.”
