Testimonials

From my first day as a summer student, the firm really showed a commitment to my growth and development. I received a tremendous amount of support from everyone at the firm. The lawyers were all, without exception, extremely generous with their time and very knowledgeable. Administrative staff was always incredibly kind and patient with me. The marketing group has always been supportive in helping me increase my profile. Pallett Valo has worked with me since my first day to try and achieve my career goals. It was not just about increasing my legal acumen, but really taking control of what I wanted and helping me get there. Now, as I have taken on more of a leadership role, I see that it was not just something that happened organically. There is a concerted effort and a lot of hard work that goes into developing people at the firm. I feel very fortunate that I was able to start my career at Pallett Valo and, if all goes well, I hope to finish it here as well.
