legal help with license reinstatement

I would definitely recommend Beth to any professional who is dealing with Ohio Nursing Board. Beth has extensive experience with helping clients work through their issues. The process, at least for me, was definitely lengthy, which Beth made me aware of before I retained her as my attorney. Be...th was always very timely in her communication with me, and consequently with the Board. She also helped me resolve an issue I was having, half a year after reaching my consent agreement. I would highly recommend Beth to anyone seeking legal counsel. The main life lesson that I learned is that my actions are what caused the consequences, and therefore when things didn't happen as fast as I wanted them to, I had to practice patience and trust trough the very tedious process.

Thank you! I am glad I was able to help you through the Board's process. We also try to respond to client questions and concerns even well after their case has been resolved with the Board. Thank you for recognizing the tedious process of the Board and understanding that often it takes months to have a final resolution.

Nursing board

Mrs. Collins handled my case in a timely manner. She clearly outlined what my expectations should be during my initial consultation. She was always available for any questions or concerns that I had during the process. Additionally, she provide me with correspondence that she had with the Nursing Bo...ard. During this process with Beth Collis, my expectations were met and often exceeded. I would highly recommend her if you need counsel when dealing with any licensing board.

legal representation for my nursing license

I would highly recommend Elizabeth Collis to represent any nurse or physician with an issue with the Ohio Board. Ms. Collis is highly knowledgeable of all the laws of the board and what is required to work toward reinstatement or a consent agreement. She was always available for any questions and i...f she was out of the office her legal assistant Michelle was a tremendous help. She kept me informed of anything the Board required by phone or email. I felt completely confident with her handling my legal issues. In addition she is in Columbus and can directly interact with the Ohio Board of Nurses/Physicians.

Thank you so much! Michelle is so good at her job and works hard to always help to provide documents and communication to clients when I am in trial or assisting another client. Michelle is an incredible asset to the firm. I'm glad our entire office was able to assist you with your legal needs.

Compassionate and Dedicated Attorney

Elizabeth Collis took on my extremely difficult and complex case with professionalism and humanism that is unparalleled. I cannot recommend her enough to be an advocate and fighter for when one's career hangs in the balance. From the first day and throughout my lengthy case, Collis was there, eve...ry step of the way. With her experience, good relationships with governing boards, and attention to detail, she will ensure that the best possible outcome will happen. The lines of communication are always open and transparent as well. She will frequently update and walk her clients through all procedural phases with ease. Whenever questions arise, she will answer them. As elements change and one's input is needed, she will incorporate them into her approach. In short, Elizabeth Collis is an outstanding attorney.

Thank you for your kind words. Navigating the licensure Board disciplinary process is a stressful, lengthy and often frustrating process. While I cannot change the process, I hope to keep my clients informed of their choices. I am glad to hear that my guidance has been helpful to you.

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."
