About Us

FirmAdvice, Inc. is owned and managed by attorney Mary B. Winter. We hold true to our name: we provide FirmAdvice to law firms and corporations on their legal placement requirements. Our team understands the legal environment and its demands. As an attorney staffing agency, we search for and provide our clients with only top-quality professionals in Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and nationwide. Our goal is to establish a long-term relationship with our clients. We achieve this goal by getting to know our clients so we can understand their needs. Just as you hire a professional, not a firm, when you rely on FirmAdvice to identify the appropriate professional, you are relying on a person, Mary B. Winter, not a faceless corporation, to resolve your problem. That’s why so many of our clients look exclusively to FirmAdvice for their legal placement services.

FirmAdvice Is a Specialized Legal Placement Agency Based in Washington, DC

We specialize in connecting legal and legal support talent to law firms and legal departments. The firm was founded in 2000 when the economy was in a downturn and attorneys were being laid off; we quickly found success by offering superior service. As our reputation grew, we expanded our services beyond providing attorneys and now offer support positions as well, including contract, interim and temporary legal staffing. Our commitment to finding the right fit for our clients and professionals sets us apart from the competition. The FirmAdvice screening process is rigorous, thorough, and designed to match the right person to the right position. We maintain an open line of communication with each client and professional.

From the first screen with Nicole to the final interviews at ISOC, Nicole was thoughtful, encouraging, and full of good advice and information. She was professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, a rare combination in any field – especially among lawyers. Anyone considering working with Nicole would be wise to do so.
