Is there anyone who could help me get my foot in the door at a law firm in the DMV area?

Lena- suggest your contact Carolyn Beck at Goldstein & McClintock LLP in its Wash. D.C. office. Her e-mail address is Carolynb@goldmclaw.com. I know her and her husband from scuba diving. Her husband is career Navy. She is an atty there. A second idea: contact attorney Kevin Eng in the Los Angeles office of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith. Kevin is a former Marine and knows who I am ( I am Of Counsel to the firm). Kevin may know some of the firm personnel in Lewis Brisbois' Wash. D.C. office. You can find Kevin's e-mail on the firm's web site. Good luck.

Hi Lena,
Thanks for the great question. Have you tried our community feature to reach out to legal professionals directly? You will click the community tab above, then click the advisor tab. Once this is done, you will refine it by legal and put in a zip code in the DMV area. You can reach out to legal professionals directly and ask them for tips on getting your foot in the door at law firms locally. Hopefully, you receive some great advice.
Best,
Jennifer
