Samantha Harnett
Vice President and General Counsel at ZipRealty
Simply put – Lighthouse Legal Search gets results! I had worked with a few other recruiters before Lighthouse Legal, but none was able to provide me the string of interviews that Lighthouse Legal Search was able to provide. Lighthouse Legal was personable, paid great attention to details and gave me insightful, strategic advice. I am now very happy at my current position, and I owe much of it to Lighthouse Legal Search.
George Wu
Patent Attorney
I recommend Seth highly! I have had the pleasure of working on an engagement in the past and I found him to be professional, thorough, and of the highest integrity. He is especially adept at communicating directly with clients and understanding the little things that make the difference in the case. You should hire Seth and his firm for all of your staffing needs for legal professionals. He is particularly skilled at working with intellectual property and particularly patent attorneys.
