"We had moved to Boston in early 2008 and Dan Landerfin called me to come in and meet with him regarding my career path. I was not the "cookie cutter" attorney and was actually quite anxious about opportunities in Boston. Dan's warmth and professionalism immediately put me at ease and Dan had me out interviewing with one of the best companies within 3 days of my meeting him. A week later I had an offer that was surprisingly higher than I expected and I attribute this to Dan's knowledge and careful attention to details as well as his credibility with his client. I am most happy to recommend Dan and MacPherson Group if you want the best in people and professionalism!"
