Elizabeth S Conan

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!

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.

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.

I retained Elizabeth Conan to guide me through the application process. Since day one, Ms. Conan's representation has been nothing short of brilliant. She is knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, and above all, empathetic to her clients' needs and concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth ...Conan to any individual seeking admission to the Florida Bar, or to anyone with questions and/or concerns about ethics-related issues.

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.
