Sorry to butt in like this, but do you really think its necessary to pay someone to do that for you? Putting together your application documents, in my humble opinion, is one of the most important parts of the entire LLM.
First, if youre not a native English speaker, its one chance to read and write a lot in English. After that, when you sit down and start writing your personal statement that kicks off a series of thoughts inside your head, ranging from why you want to do an LLM, what you want to study and what you plan to get once youve finished the programme I think these are key factors to enable a prospective student to make a well-grounded decision before getting on board of this lengthy (after all, one year is quite a lot of time) and expensive (especially in the US, where youll need to disburse around USD 60,000) journey.
Finally, all documents required by universities (Ivy League or not) arent exactly rocket science, you know? Basically, all you have to do is a CV and a personal statement and go after good references to support your application. Transcripts and everything else are simply paperwork that you need to get from your previous university.
I got into UCL in the UK without using this kind of service providers of course Ive had help from a few colleagues and my brother (who did his LLM in Columbia an Ivy League university and also got in without this kind of service), but they didnt actually do anything other than give a few hints and suggestions
I believe that going through the entire application process and writing down all my documents have had a major role in my decision to actually go through with idea of the LLM and its surely helped me out on deciding what modules I want to do once the programme starts and what I want to get out of it after graduation
Anyway, thats just my opinion I know people whove had professional help to put together their documents and they might have a different opinion about that
