Elizabeth Y. Collis

When the Board of Nursing told me I'd been named in a complaint, I was confident that I'd been compliant with the Nurse Practice Act & there was no case against that. The Board explained the process as "informal", & said there was no action against my license. However, the Board's process is inherent...ly protective of the public & punitive to nurses. When I was asked to discuss the case despite not being allowed to know what the complaint even said, I knew that "my right to" attorney representation was necessary. I found Beth in an online search of attorneys specializing in medical & nursing licensure defense. Beth was quickly receptive to my contact, listened actively, & made it clear that she was motivated to represent me steadfastly. Our private discussion made it clear that Beth knew the Board's process and nursing practice itself very well, which remained obvious on our call with the Board's representative. Despite being confident in my lack of wrongdoing, I would've never wanted to speak to the Board without Beth, as their process can be quite tricky. Fortunately, the matter was closed after our single conversation, and my license left unscathed! This occurred before I had professional liability insurance, so I worried about cost. However, Beth was very efficient, getting all the info she needed & answering my questions in very few total hours. She didn't bill for a bit extra--every moment of her time is your money well spent! I've since mentioned my experience w/ Beth to a family friend who's a high-profile surgeon. She told me that Beth is the best in our area, and has personally recommended Beth to physician colleagues in more intense situations. Call her, you will not regret it!

Beth took over my case after I had hired a previous attorney who continued to pressure me to make risky choices that I felt would only hurt my case. I consulted Beth for a second opinion and after a well informed talk, I decided to drop my other attorney and hire her because of her superior knowledge... regarding the entity I was up against, the Board of Nursing. She works directly in Columbus, so she is able to interact with the Board of Nursing almost daily (it's a huge plus versus someone who does not live close to area). She was able to negotiate for me to receive the fairest and most realistic agreement possible between me and the Board of Nursing. Throughout the process she was knowledgeable and nonjudgmental. All of her replies to my questions and concerns were fast and thoughtful - she is easily accessible. I recommend her to anyone looking for the best attorney to have on your side when up against the Board of Nursing!

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.

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.
