"As managing partners the past 13 years, I have received countless telephone calls from executive recruiters promising me the world and delivering nothing…. I was very impressed by Esquire’s ability to deliver.… very professional and responsive. Their process of screening candidates with respect to academic credentials and book of business is better than their competition."

Steven H. Sunshine
Managing Partner
Layman, Jones & Dye
(Ultimately represented the firm in merger with Bryan Cave)

(Note: Two years later we represented Layman, Jones & Dye in its merger with Bryan, Cave. Mr. Sunshine became managing partner of California Bryan, Cave offices)

"First rate…. we see Esquire as a significant talent resource in helping us achieve our business goals in Los Angeles…. your firm has demonstrated what sets it apart from most other legal search firms."

Paul W. Sweeney, Jr.
Administrative Partner, Los Angeles
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart

"As you know, we have been looking for an environmental specialist at his level for over three years. While we saw a number of candidates, none worked for us. Your organization was able to come through on a search that no one else had been able to help us with."

Bruce P. Jeffer
Managing Partner
Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro

"Without question, (corporate partner and group) is one of the finest lateral candidates we have seen in years. We were extremely impressed with Esquire and in particular, Sandy Lechtick. As a consequence, Esquire was recently placed on our "short list" for consideration as an exclusive or "dedicated" recruiter for our lateral partner searches for the Los Angeles office."

Gordon E. Bosserman
Co-Managing Partner
Baker & McKenzie, Los Angeles

"…. in the four years I have worked with you, you were more successful than the other search firms I worked with in representing partners that matched up well …. Sandy, I can say and without reservation, Esquire is the most professional and effective search organization I have ever worked with …. In addition, I like your style - non-pushy."
