The Law School ACEs team is made up of professionals who not only have earned J.D. and advanced degrees, but also have decades of experience in both law school admissions and law school student services offices.

Law School ACEs’ applicant-centered experts will always work with you as an individual to help you select the law schools to which you will be applying. We begin by asking you to complete a personal questionnaire in which you provide us with information about yourself, your interests, your activities, you expectations, your needs. We will review your answers and dialogue with you about your own thoughts on where you might like to go to law school. Together we will tailor your applications to find the best possible fit for you in the law schools to which you apply.

No reputable law school admissions consulting company can make such a guarantee. Law School ACEs will do its best to steer you to law schools that appear to be appropriate to your interests, needs, personality, and academic strengths and performance. However, Law School ACEs cannot, of course, guarantee that you will be admitted to any school in particular. For further information on this matter, see our Terms & Conditions page.

Law School ACEs’ experts will work closely with you on your personal statement, but we will not write it for you. We will guide you and provide helpful editorial comments and will review several drafts, to make sure you submit a strong document with your applications.

Law School ACEs will not refund payments already made for any reason whatsoever, including if the applicant is not admitted to a law school.
