Make our attorney staffing agency your trusted partner in legal placement.

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.

Testimonials

Why People Trust FirmAdvice

Mary is great! I have worked with Mary several times over the past 2 years to fill both temp and permanent positions. As a hiring manager, I really like working with her because she has a knack for finding candidates that meet the needs of my department. I give her a laundry list of qualifications and she always manages to find great people that meet them. She does a thorough screening of candidates and provides a helpful perspective that makes evaluating candidates easier. Mary has taken the time to understand our business and the attributes that make my team successful. She is very responsive, pleasant to communicate with and understands that recruiting is a partnership. I would also recommend Mary to candidates because she is so well-connected with the DC region in-house legal community.

Nicole is a truly dedicated and committed recruitment professional, who clearly has her clients’ interests at heart. From our very first interaction, Nicole took the time to ensure she had a detailed understanding of my experience and asked questions that demonstrated her sincere passion for aligning the right candidate with the ideal role. Over the course of our conversations, Nicole was always a helpful resource and provided regular updates to ensure I was never left wondering about timing or next steps. Having been through recruitment processes a handful of times in my career thus far, I can confidently say that working with Nicole made my most recent process the easiest and most enjoyable of them all. I feel very fortunate to have connected with her and to have benefitted from her expertise to ultimately land in my current position with MITRE.
