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.
