"Lavelle Law’s Summer Associate Program provided me with tremendous real world legal experience from day one. The firm’s shareholders and associates work closely with summer associates, leading to a program which greatly helped my overall development of legal skills and practices.

The program also affords summer associates the opportunity to work in a plethora of different legal areas. Getting true legal experience in these departments helped me determine which area of law I wanted to focus on in my career.

Overall, Lavelle Law’s Summer Associate Program will build your legal skills in an environment which is both helpful and respectful."
