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.

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.

Excellent

I hired Ms. Perez after receiving a letter of complaint/investigation from the Department of Health. Her response was prompt, professional and highly effective. She kept me well informed at all times which I appreciate very much. She convinced the Department to close the investigation. I'm truly gr...ateful to Ms. Perez. She has my highest recommendation.

Posted by anonymous | July 24, 2012 | Administrative Law

Proficient. Relentless. Compassionate. Zero tolerance for nothing less than the success of her client.

During a thirty-year health care career, I had worked with numerous attorneys, from partners at state-wide and national firms to sole practitioners. Therefore, I consider myself to be astute when evaluating qualities that can predict somewhat both the success of the attorney/client relationship and ...of the legal effort. In the last decade of my career, I had experienced a business holocaust and had needed assistance in many venues, among those: Criminal Court, Department of Health, and a Professional Regulatory Board. Fortunately, I had been introduced to Elizabeth Perez. At all times, Ms. Perez demonstrated an analytic mind, professional competence, an in-depth core knowledge of the above areas, and fine personal qualities. Her candor was tempered with much-appreciated sensitivity during the most stressful of times and her communication with all professionals when discussing strategy and in negotiation was stellar and had worked to my benefit. I couldn't be more pleased with Ms. Perez's work. I am grateful to her and recommend her with the highest and the most complete confidence.

Highly Recommended Health Care Attorney

Elizabeth represented me in front of the Board of Medicine. She was able to take an administrative complaint of sufficient severity that it would place limitations on my license, and reduce it to a dismissal. Very talented, cordial, accessible, patient, and capable. HIGHLY recommended.

"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."
