I Am The Law School Expert

I am dedicated to not only helping clients get into law school, but also make smart decisions that positively impact their lives.

I have experience with every step and stage of the law school admissions process. I have written two best-selling law school admissions guidebooks and made admissions decisions at two ABA-approved law schools. I started Law School Expert in 2004, and since then I have helped over 2,000 applicants through the process of making smart, informed decisions for their unique situation in law admissions.

I attended law school (but am the first one to admit I did that admissions process all wrong). After getting my J.D. in 1999, I served as Director of Student Services at University of Denver College of Law, and then as Director of Admissions for Loyola and California Western, all American Bar Association approved law schools. After two years in private legal practice as a litigation associate, I started Law School Expert.

I Get to Know Every Client

My clients are outliers. Since I started consulting, my clients have consistently been accepted into their “reach” schools, have been offered more scholarship money, and have been admitted off the wait list more often than the average law school applicant. For the last few years, I’ve averaged dozens of clients per year at top law schools. I also have clients thrilled to receive scholarships to their hometown law schools.

I thoroughly enjoy really getting to know people and helping them present their life experiences to law schools through the application process. I have the pleasure of working with a vibrant cross section of the planet including ambitious college students, members of the military, single parents, people who have struggled through a wide range of personal difficulties, immigrants, international students, and professionals in search of second careers.

My favorite part of the job is helping people realize what’s impressive to others and helping them see that their difficulties or weaknesses can be counter-balanced on a law school application by writing a compelling personal statement, addendum, diversity statement, and resume.

I don’t have just one kind of client; and I love that. I work with each individual to get the best possible results that fits their goals for law school and life.

I Tell It Like It Is

As a client, you will be working directly with me, Ann Levine. I always personally answer my clients’ phone calls, chats, and emails. I do admissions consulting full-time, and take on a manageable number of clients each year to ensure that I can be fully dedicated to each client.

I am candid, I tell it like it is, and I am interested in helping you figure out the best solution for you. No cookie cutter solutions or suggestions, because I am invested in your personal success. I help you apply with confidence that you have created the best possible applications, that you are poised to maximize your success by getting into the best schools with the best scholarships for you, and that you are making good decisions for your future. My ultimate goal is to help you get the best results while removing the stress and anxiety from the law school admissions process for you whenever possible.

Who I Am

“Ann will work with you until your essays are perfect no matter how many revisions and alterations it takes. I would definitely recommend Ann’s services because she has a lot of insight, successful strategies, and the keys to making a mediocre application look like a knockout.

I Make Law Admissions Personal

In addition to directly working with clients, my books have won awards, and my blog houses thousands of comments I have responded to personally.

I recently moved to Vero Beach, Florida from Santa Barbara, California. I have two daughters, one who is attending Vanderbilt University and one who is in graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania. I also have a golden retriever named Knightly.

I have been a nationally recognized board member and contributor to the Anti-Defamation League; In 2009, I was honored to receive the Ginsberg Young Leaders Award by the national organization. I served on the Board of Trustees of the Laguna Blanca School in Santa Barbara, California, and received the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award from the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Foundation. I often speak to pre-law groups and LSAT prep classes and offer opportunities for engagement via Zoom and Google Meet.

In addition to the success stories and track records of my clients, I pride myself on the fact that many of my clients become lifelong friends, and I still keep in touch with many of them. I have even attended the weddings of several former clients! Applying to law school is the first step in your career and I am honored to be part of it.

Our Clients say

"Ann was a lifesaver for me. I came to her in August saying I wanted all my apps in by the third week of September and we made it happen! I'm personally results oriented so I'll let these speak for themselves: I applied to 12 schools out of the top 20. I got accepted to 9 and wait-listed at 3 (including Stanford and Harvard). I ended up with no rejections and SEVERAL scholarship offers! …

"I recommended Ann to a friend who was in a similar situation (low LSAT score, high expectations) and she helped her get into a great school that - like me - should have been out of her reach based on her numbers

"I applied to most of the T14 schools, and more schools accepted me than waitlisted me and several offered a significant amount of scholarship, one of which was a full 3 year scholarship. Not a single T14 school that I had applied to rejected my application. …
