"Thank you, Jackie Van Dyke, MPS, CP® aka The Paralegal Writer for helping me confront and conquer the NALA Skills Exam. You provided me with quality and concise feedback on my practice memos. Not only did you help me wrap my brain around the rationale of the exam, but you helped me see where I could improve my writing as a whole in the workplace and in personal settings. Thank you for your guidance."

I strongly recommend Jackie Van Dyke and her classes. At a recent interview, the attorney asked if I had a writing sample; and, well, yes, here it is right here... The writing sample I used came from an exercise Jackie’s memo-writing class that I took to help prepare me for the NALA Skills exam. I GOT THE JOB!

“I would highly recommend enrolling in Jackie Van Dyke’s prep course for the NALA Skills Exam! If you have never written a legal memo, or if it has been a while since you’ve last written one, this class is for you! Jackie provides an in-depth explanation of the writing process to achieve an effective legal memo. Jackie is a wonderful writer, and her skills will help you become a better legal writer, too!”
