Words / Impressions from Clients
“I will never be able to thank you enough for your encouragement, your kind words, and your inspiring attitude towards bar prep and life in general. Studying for the bar is one of the most stressful experiences, but your approach to positively structuring one’s mindset and schedule to fit his/her own personal needs is the greatest tool, I believe, anyone can have leading up to and while going through the process of studying. Being confident in one’s ability to study and pass this test is crucial, and you help achieve just that!”
- Hannah, Member of the Florida Bar, December 2019
”After completing the LawGanic course I am thrilled to say that I have experienced a marked improvement in my well-being. Alexandra’s thoughtful preparation and one on one discussions helped crystallize areas I sought to improve and enhance. Through careful planning and preparation involving and in-depth look at my current working, eating, and rest and relaxation habits, Alexandra created a path forward. By discussing health goals I sought to enhance, I was able to set actionable goals and short and long term “most dos” as opposed to “should dos.” As the course progressed and with Alexandra’s encouragement and coaching, I implemented the health goals with my daily and weekly schedule and routines. Having one on one time with Alexandra was key to achieving this success.”
- Everett H., Legal Analyst, Member of the MA Bar, September 2018
“I reached out to Alexandra through Instagram, in search for words of advice or motivation after having failed the Florida bar exam twice. She instantly replied to me and asked if I wanted to have a phone call with her and I of course said yes. When we spoke on the phone she helped put me at ease and reminded me that I could do it. She was very understanding of my situation and helped me stay positive throughout my preparation for my third Florida bar exam. I followed Alexandra's advice and I stayed positive and worked hard and I passed the July 2017 Florida bar exam. I am so thankful for Alexandra and her willingness to help me."
- Melissa Montes de Oca, Member of the Florida Bar, 2018
