Michelle Fabio, Esq. is a licensed attorney and professional freelance writer who successfully made her way through law school and wants to help you do the same.
Experience:
Upon graduation from law school and passing the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Bar Exams, Fabio served a two-year appellate clerkship with Justice Frank J. Montemuro, Jr. of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. During law school, she worked as a research assistant, writer for The Legal Intelligencer Suburban Edition, and also as a summer associate with Philadelphia law firm Manta & Welge.
Through her law school, summer associate, and clerking experiences, Fabio has learned what admissions counselors, professors, law firms, and judges want in a law student, employee, and law clerk. She is now a freelance writer who works with other attorneys as well as with popular legal publications and websites such as LegalZoom.com, where she is a featured blogger.
Fabio lives in her family's ancestral village in southern Italy and blogs at Bleeding Espresso about moving toward simplicity and at Goat Berries about raising goats.
Education:
Fabio earned a Juris Doctor degree from Temple University's Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which she attended on a Law Faculty Merit Scholarship. At Temple Law, she served as an editor on Law Review, published an award-winning comment on professional responsibility, and also won several awards for academic performance, community service, and writing. She is a cum laude graduate of Duke University with degrees in English and history and a minor in criminology.
From Michelle Fabio:
I am a law school survivor, and you can be too. I look forward to guiding you through the LSAT, law school application process, life in law school, the bar exam, and finding a great legal career after graduation from law school--or even a nonlegal career if you like. As a professional writer, I'm also happy to share my expertise regarding personal statements and other admissions essays.
