Highly Recommended

I could not recommend Ms. Collis more highly. She was exceedingly professional and personable during our meetings. She is a wonderful communicator, who takes the time to explain things clearly as well as listen to and effectively answer questions. She showed a great depth of knowledge and insight in...to her field. Any physician facing a medical board issue -- big or small -- should seek her counsel.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment. All of the attorneys at the Collis Law Group work hard to provide clear, no nonsense advice and guidance to our clients.

Consultation

I hope to obtain a professional licence, but due to an issue in my background I searched for insight and was so lucky and am so grateful to have found my attorney in my own state. Even though I am a considerable time away from achieving a license Mrs. Collis agreed to meet with me for a consultation ...(twice!). The obstacle ahead may be somewhat daunting, but I look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you so much, Collis Law Group!

Dedicated, Compassionate and Highly recommended

I have worked with Ms Collis for my professional needs and she comes highly recommend by me for any health professional facing important decisions regarding their professional license. Her professionalism and compassion; exceptional! Ms Collis's experience and extensive expertise were evident, sou...nd and consistent throughout my exhaustive journey with the Ohio Board of Nursing. Her guidance kept me grounded and focused, and helped me to see clearly how my actions created my consequences. Her fight for me and my situation gave me the drive to work harder so that together we could achieve not only a good outcome in my profession life but also in my personal life. When outcomes differed from what I had hoped for, she helped me to develop patience, trust and remain firm in my program during a very tedious process. Ms Collis has always been available for questions and concerns, transparent, honest and forthright. Her compassion for her work and for me was evident throughout my proceedings; she has been a huge advocate and cheerleader. Her communications were timely and her team well exceeded my expectations. I close with one last point. Ms Collis and her staff were resourceful, compassionate and most reassuring when I needed it. Their dedication and character as an organization exhibit true humanitarianism.

Thank you so much! Thank you also for recognizing the entire staff at the Collis Law Group. We all try to be timely and responsive to emails, calls and questions from clients. We know that all our clients are going through incredibly stressful and challenging times and we try to make the licensure board disciplinary process as "pain less" as possible by keeping our clients informed. Thank you again.

Best Physician Representation Available before the State medical Board of Ohio

I have used several attorneys to represent me before the Medical Board. Ms Collis is by far the most responsive, the most knowledgeable and most realistic of them all. She is honest, forthright and highly effective. I consider myself to be blessed that I found her. I highly recommend her above ANY OT...HER FIRM if you need representation before the Ohio Medical board. Her unique experience and successful approach I have found to be unmatched.

Thank you for your kind works. I am VERY pleased with the outcome of your case. It was a real uphill battle with the Medical Board, but I am pleased that we were able to have such a positive result in your case.

Unknown lawyer | Jan 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Attorney Collis, I often represent medical professionals and find that she is excellent at advising them on potential consequences and providing clear opinion letters regarding the same. Without her insight it can be difficult to understand the nuances and more importantly, to be able to communicate them to prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement involved in the matters. Many of my Doctor clients have been able to navigate the medical boards with her assistance and continue their careers uninterrupted. Her knowledge not only assists in resolving cases, it provides great peace of mind to my Doc clients."

"I endorse this lawyer. As an attorney, I have known Elizabeth Collis for over 25 years. During this time, we have worked on a number of cases together. I find that Ms. Collis has an exceptional knowledge of administrative law. She has a very impressive success rate before there various professional boards she appears before, especially the Ohio Medical and Nursing Boards. Her meticulous preparation has earned her the respect of board members, hearing offices and opposing counsel.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Beth Collis is an excellent attorney with an excellent reputation. I have never hesitated to refer a client to Beth that I was unable to represent due to a conflict of interest or other reason. In addition, she has been very easy to work with when we served as co-counsel for the same client."
