“I am happy every day that I come here because every day is something new, there is something different happening in the office – it is a bustling work environment” – Asli, Summer Marketing Intern
Hi, my name is Asli. I am a rising freshman at Montclair State University, and I recently graduated from New Milford High School as valedictorian. This summer, I’m a marketing intern at Adam Leitman Bailey PC.
I also interned at ALPC last summer as a high school intern, and I loved it so much that I wanted to come back for a second year. Spending my summer here has been an amazing opportunity to gain more experience working at a law firm. I’ve always envisioned myself becoming an attorney—ever since my family and I immigrated from Turkey, I’ve pictured myself working in a law office and helping people.
The people here were definitely a big reason why I wanted to return. Everyone is so friendly, and I knew I wouldn’t get an experience like this at any other internship. I’ve enjoyed seeing the inner workings of the legal field and watching how the attorneys here help clients navigate the complex legal system. I think that’s so important, and I wanted to experience it more firsthand.
Adam is an incredible boss. He’s very passionate about what he does and strives for the best, only accepting the best. His devotion to his work and his clients is unmatched—his priority is always to help his clients win, and he doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants for them.
This internship has been such a valuable experience and will definitely help me in the future. It’s a great way to get your foot in the door and gain early exposure to the legal field, which is rare for high school students. You learn things you wouldn’t learn otherwise, like interacting with people daily, making phone calls, and handling tasks like copying and organizing. These skills might seem small, but they’re incredibly important and will stay with me throughout my career.
Every day I come here, I’m happy because no two days are the same. There’s always something new and exciting happening in the office. It’s a bustling, fast-paced work environment, and I genuinely enjoy every day here.
I would absolutely recommend this internship to any high school senior or rising college student. It’s a fantastic first experience to learn the workings of a law firm and decide if law is a career you want to pursue. Even for marketing, I’ve learned so much about what goes into promoting a law firm—something I hadn’t even thought about before. This internship truly offers invaluable insight and experience!
