Elizabeth S Conan

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.

I previously underwent an informal hearing with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners about some inconsistencies on my Florida Bar application. Attorney Conan pointed out the inconsistencies, and she helped me to correct them. She prepared and submitted a notebook of supporting documentation to help t...he Board understand the reasons behind my inconsistencies. The actual hearing was short and simple. The questionings were concise, and most questions just asked to elaborate on my reasons behind the inconsistencies. The total time of my hearing only lasted for approximately 30 minutes. It was short compared to some of the other applicants' hearings who came to their hearing without an appropriate attorney who specializes in this area of practice. I even met a bar applicant who underwent an informal hearing that was forwarded to a formal hearing. Her attorney, who did not specialize in this area of practice, treated her hearing as an adversarial trial making objections to the questions rather than providing explanations. I'm convince that her notebook and her presence in the room sped up the questioning. I would not go to an informal hearing with an attorney specializing in this field, and after researching a number of attorneys, I found that Attorney Conan had the best reviews from her former clients. I’m glad I hired the best attorney for my hearing, and I highly recommend that you do the same if you want the best results for you.

Liz Conan represented me with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners during the background approval process subsequent to passing the Florida Bar exam. I am an MD with a previous 25 year career in medicine none of which prepared me for the above referenced saga. As the approval process dragged on Liz w...as consulted on what to expect, when to expect it, and how to meet all the challenges put forth by the BBE. The process finally went smoothly thanks to Liz's professionalism, competence in these matters, and her regular communications and suggestions anticipating the BBE's next move or request. I recommend Liz Conan without reservation for any applicant or attorney who must deal with the Byzantine Florida BBE.

From the first conversation, I believed I had found the right attorney to help me through a tough time. Experience, knowledge, understanding, and communicative...Ms. Conan has all these qualities and more. I would not hesitate to recommend her. From the outset, the financial arrangements were cle...ar and written and I had the opportunity to review and ask questions, before signing. Many attorneys are unavailable for substantial periods of time. This was not the case. Communication was excellent. If there was any fault in this it was mine. Her experience in the area of the law at issue was exceptional and allowed me to prepare as best I could under the circumstances. I was aware of the risks involved and the probable results as circumstances developed. She was approachable. I never felt any embarassment in asking questions and I was treated with respect.

I recommend Mrs. Conan to anyone looking for a professional attorney who can prepare Florida bar applicants for an investigative hearing. If you are smart, you'll contact her prior to submitting your initial bar application for her review. This initiative may avoid an investigative hearing altogeth...er. These hearings are intimidating. I highly recommend Mrs. Conan for consultation prior to and during any investigative hearing. She reviewed sample questions and went through "worst case" scenario questions. Great work!
