Welcome to Optimum Results Staffing
Optimum Results Staffing is a boutique legal recruiting firm specializing in the strategic placement of attorneys at AmLaw, regional, and mid-market law firms nationwide. With 16+ years in professional placement, founder Devon Small brings a consultative, research-driven approach to every search — focusing on genuine career motivation rather than transactional resume-flipping. The result: placements that stick, attorneys who thrive, and firms that grow.
Industry Expertise
With 16+ years of experience in professional placement, we specialize exclusively in the legal industry. Our deep knowledge of the lateral attorney market — from AmLaw 100 firms to high-growth regionals and in-house legal departments — empowers us to identify and connect you with top-tier attorneys tailored to meet your unique hiring needs. We recruit across Corporate M&A, Private Equity & Fund Formation, Real Estate & JV Finance, Labor & Employment, Regulatory & Compliance, Litigation, Intellectual Property, and Tax.
Nationwide Reach
Whether you're a firm seeking exceptional lateral talent or an attorney pursuing your next career move, our network spans every major U.S. legal market. From AmLaw 100 firms in New York and D.C. to high-growth regionals across the Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast — wherever you are, we connect the right attorneys with the right firms.
Personalized Service
We don't do volume recruiting. Every search starts with a real conversation — understanding your goals, your culture, and what "the right fit" actually means. For attorneys, that means we assess genuine career motivation before making any introduction. For firms, that means you only see candidates who truly want to be on your platform. That's how we build partnerships that last.
