What’s included in a comprehensive law school package vs. hourly?

These are genuinely different products built for different situations.

Our comprehensive packages — Gold and Platinum — cover the full strategic arc of a law school application: a thorough diagnostic intake and positioning deep-dive, a tailored Law School Strategy Brief, and an intensive multi-round drafting process for your personal statement, diversity statement, and all addenda. They include the complete set of components — resume development, letters of recommendation support, interview prep, post-admit decision support, and waitlist strategy — and pair you with a lead consultant who owns strategy and who works at the sentence level. That dual-role wrapped into a single, talented consultant is the baseline, not an upgrade. Gold and Platinum differ only in number of schools — up to three and up to seven, respectively — not in scope of service.

Silver is a deliberately narrower product. It’s strategy plus the personal statement itself — the centerpiece of the application — not the supplemental essays or peripheral components, with hands-on support focused on that core. It’s built for strong, self-directed applicants whose supporting materials will naturally rhyme with the positioning we set in the main essay. For the right writer it’s efficient and well-targeted. For most applicants, though, we recommend going comprehensive: a coherent application is one where every piece reinforces the same argument, and that’s hard to guarantee when only the main essay gets expert attention.

Hourly and à la carte work is different in kind. It’s best suited for candidates who already have a coherent strategy and need a targeted second opinion — sharpening a personal statement, preparing for an interview, or getting a post-rejection assessment of what went wrong. What it’s not designed to replace is full-cycle consulting. Building a coherent application argument across multiple schools requires sustained strategic work, not a single session.

The consultation call is where we sort this out together. For law applicants, the deciding factors are usually practical: time, budget, and how much support you actually need given your situation.
