From Law to Love: Texas Attorney Starts Matchmaking Service
October 6, 2009
After numerous friends shared their internet dating horror stories with him, Dallas attorney Randy Block saw an opportunity.
“Somehow these impersonal computer programs have taken over, using microchips for matching,” Block said. “And I kept hearing from professionals that they did not want their photos and profiles on the internet for all the world to see. So I decided to start something that would be personalized and private.”
In August of 2009, Block founded We Matchmake in Dallas after months of research and focus group meetings. Block, a former litigator at Winstead, currently owns a legal recruiting firm.
“I figured that matching lawyers to law firms utilizes the same principles as We Matchmake: Honesty, Thoroughness, Professionalism, Confidentiality and Networking – all in the name of making great matches,” said Block.
We Matchmake sets itself apart by providing background checks, privately showing photos of potential dates to clients, and being very affordable.
Block hired Tina Griffin as the Director of Matchmaking. Ms. Griffin joined We Matchmake after 11 years as a Recruiting Coordinator with Jenkens & Gilchrist and Hunton & Williams. She is 37 years old and married with 4 kids.
“We have quickly gained a group of clients that is amazing,” says Griffin. “These are successful, attractive people of all ages that are busy and just need a little help.”
We Matchmake attracted hundreds to its Launch Party at the Stoneleigh Hotel in September. Their office is located at 2911 Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas next to The Mansion on Turtle Creek.
