EXO Legal Search places the attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and support staff that keep law firms running. Relationship-led, responsive, and focused on personal injury, family law, insurance defense, and litigation firms across the Midwest.
National attorney-search firms are built for lateral partner moves at large firms. The firms that hire constantly, at every level, get ignored by them. That is exactly who we recruit for.
Law firms run on volume and turnover. Associates, paralegals, intake, and case managers move often. We staff that churn fast, with candidates who understand how a working firm actually operates.
We work a real regional network, not a database dump. You get vetted, interested candidates who fit your firm's pace and culture, not a stack of forwards.
You will hear back. The single most common complaint about legal recruiters is silence. We run every search like the relationship outlasts the placement, because it does.
Most firms start with contingent placement on the roles they hire regularly, then move to retained search when a role is senior, confidential, or hard to fill. You are never locked into more than the search in front of you.
For the roles firms fill often. We source, screen, and present qualified candidates. No fee unless you make a hire.
For senior, confidential, or difficult searches where discretion and depth matter more than speed.
We recruit across the full firm, from the front desk to the corner office.
Personal injury, family law, insurance defense, and litigation attorneys, from newly licensed associates to senior trial lawyers.
Litigation and practice-area paralegals who can carry a caseload from intake through settlement or trial prep.
The operational backbone of a busy firm, managing clients, providers, and case flow at volume.
Front-line intake and client-intake talent, the first point of contact that sets the tone for every new matter.
Legal secretaries, records clerks, and demand writers who keep files moving and deadlines met.
Practice leads, office administrators, and operations roles, typically handled as retained searches.
We know the firms, the comp, and the talent in our markets by name. That local fluency is the whole point.
Deep coverage across metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Ann Arbor, spanning personal injury, family law, insurance defense, and litigation firms. This is home, and where our relationships run deepest.

Now expanding
EXO Legal Search is the legal recruiting division of EXO Search Group, built on a simple premise: law firms deserve a recruiter who actually knows their world and actually calls them back.
Led by Taylor Kozumplik, who brings seven years of recruiting experience and established relationships across the Michigan and Midwest legal community. She recruits across practice areas, personal injury, family law, insurance defense, and litigation, with a standard of responsiveness the volume recruiters do not match.
Specialized focus. Regional depth. A recruiter who actually follows through.
Every search follows the same four steps, and you hear from us at every one of them. No silence, no black box.
A real conversation about the seat: caseload, pace, culture, comp, and what burned you on the last hire.
We work our regional network directly. Vetted, interested candidates, not a database dump of forwards.
A short list worth your time, each candidate screened for fit with how your firm actually runs.
Offer, start, and check-ins after. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, and the relationship outlasts the hire.
Whether it is a paralegal you needed last week or a confidential search for a senior attorney, start the conversation. You will get a real response, not silence.
