Highly Recommended

I retained Elizabeth for assistance with a Florida Bar investigative hearing, and she is hands-down the primary reason I am now able to practice law. I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism, ethics and commitment to my case. To boot, Elizabeth is also an extremely kind and compassionate ...person. It was a pleasure to work with her during such a difficult and stressful time in my life, and she is the first person I would recommend for any matter involving the Florida Bar.

Anyone seeking admission to The Florida Bar

I hired Elizabeth to assist me in gaining admittance to the Florida Bar after I was set for an investigative hearing by the Board of Bar Examiners. She really helped me understand the bar application process and to realize that it is not something to take lightly. She showed me that it is a great i...dea to get the assistance of an experienced attorney in the area of bar admittance before you even submit your application. When I got down or felt like I would not be admitted she was always available to speak with me with words of encouragement and support. She knows what the Board of Bar Examiners is looking for when they look at your application and has many suggestions on how you can improve your application and character. By the time my case went to hearing I felt confident that she was prepared and that with her wealth of knowledge and experience I had done everything I could to gain admission to The Florida Bar. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking admission to The Florida Bar.

Extremely professional lawyer

Elizabeth made my experience with the Board of Bar Examiners as stree free as it could be. Her very thorough preparation left no surprises and I felt 100% confident going in the my hearing that we had done all we could do. On top of all that, she is very kind and comforting in a time that stress is a...t an all time high. She is extremely professional and was available whenever I had questions. I would not have had the successful outcome that I did without her help.

Exceptional Counsel!

I would recommend Attorney Conan with enthusiasm to any individual in need of legal counsel, particularly as to any matters related to the Florida Bar. For me, she assisted in the preparation for an informal hearing for my Bar application. She was compassionate, patient, extremely knowledgeable, an...d proactive. She was always available and responsive to any questions that I had about the process, provided excellent advice and developed a plan that, thankfully, yielded a positive result. She was professional in demeanor and was an effective advocate during the course of my hearing. I am incredibly grateful to her for her legal expertise, wise counsel and encouragement through an extremely stressful process!

If You Do Not Hire Elizabeth Conan for Your Floida Bar Issues, Then You Are Making A Serious Error in Judgment.

I hired Ms. Conan to assist me with my admission to the Florida Bar. I'd had employment issues in my youth, and Ms. Conan guided me through the entire hearing process. I'm not the easiest client with whom to deal: I expect a lot of knowledge from legal counsel, and I expect them to listen to me when ...I disagree with them, and to tell me if I'm off-base if I'm wrong. Ms. Conan is, frankly, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and reliable. If I sent her an e-mail in the early morning hours, I would often have a reply within minutes. When I (rarely) disagreed with a tactic, she'd consider my viewpoint, and if my perspective was valid, she would incorporate my position into our overall strategy, or she would explain to me why something would not work. She is highly meticulous and covers every conceivable angle that one can expect to encounter in a bar hearing. Ms. Conan more than met my expectations. More importantly, she acted as a legal counselor and an attorney, and I assure you this is not a common balance one finds in the legal world. She ensured I did exactly what needed to be done to accomplish my goal of being admitted to the Florida Bar, and if not for her, I don't think I would have succeeded. If you think dealing with a stressed-out 2L is an easy task for any attorney, then you need to consider that Ms. Conan handles multitudes of them at once, yet she somehow makes you believe you are her ONLY client. I cannot recommend Ms. Conan's services enough. I have referred not one, but several colleagues to her, and I have warned them of the perils they face if they choose not to hire this excellent attorney. If anyone has any questions about hiring Ms. Conan, I have asked her to provide my name and phone number as a reference.
