Dr. Rodriguez

Ms. Perez helped to resume my dental license in Fl. I truly recommend her to any health care professional with similar issues.

Dr. Rodriguez, it was indeed my pleasure to assist you with your matter before the Florida Board of Dentistry, and other collateral issues that have come about as a result.

Great lawyer!

Elizabeth has been my lawyer for many years. She is very available and will always fight for your rights. She is my first choice when a friend asks for a referral to a healthcare lawyer.

Help get my case from the Board on nursing dismissed!!!

I had a DUI a year ago but then got it reduced to reckless driving. Once it was reduced the board of nursing found out within 30 days of the conviction. Since I failed to report it in I received a letter from the the Board of Nursing wanting to mediate or legal action was going to be taken towards my... license. I then hired Elizabeth about my issue and she spoke to the Board of Nursing and got the case to be dismissed by not having them file a complaint towards me and my license. She is very professional helpful and always available and compassion towards you and your needs. I definitely recommend her and the case was resolved very quick with a reasonable price.

Excellent attorney for my post-dissolution judgment collection case

My husband owed me about $300,000. after my divorce, which I tried to collect on my own with no success. I hired Ms. Perez because she has a reputation for being relentless and a tough litigator. Plus, she is very attentive to client's needs and concerns. After 2 years of very contentious litigati...on, Ms. Perez was able to resolve the case and I was satisfied with the amount of the settlement. I would highly recommend Ms. Perez for any future case.

Elizabeth Perez, Confidently prepared and appropriately represented

Ms. Perez was able to tease out of a paper burdened investigation dealing with the Department of Health and long term care facilities, the most minimal infraction to regulations in uncharted waters that it was. Praise God, the truth and the heart of the actions was received by the investigating BOD w...ho dismissed any disciplinary action against me.

It was my pleasure to represent you before the Board of Dentistry. I fought hard for your case was very pleased with the outcome. Now that the case was dismissed against you, you will not face the discplinary sanctions and your license is not tarnished. Best regards.

"I write to highly endorse my colleague, Elizabeth Perez, Esq. Her comments to questions posed by visitors to AVVO'S website, which I have read for some time now, are uniformly insightful and demonstrative of a bona fide desire to effectively and personably resolve difficult issues, not simply billing those troubled with such issues. The public's perception of lawyers in general, whether an accurate one in some cases, or one which has been engendered by the legal equivalent of poor "bedside manner", which is an issue for some lawyers, has led to a problematic and dim view of our profession as a whole. And one which is only growing, by the way. It really is a difficult issue and often interferes with the initial creation of a the attorney-client relationship, which must be a trusting one to be effective. In reading Ms. Perez's client reviews, it is clear that she, as a colleague and fellow professional in our community, is doing her part to reverse this trend and that is encouraging."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
