BRN Accusation Dismissed!

I am so glad I retained the services of Elizabeth Brady. I made the best decision of retaining her after my first attorney was not giving me satisfactory service. Elizabeth picked up right where my old attorney left off without any hesitation. At this point in the case I had decided to pursue a trial.... Elizabeth sent me a lengthy concise email outlining exactly what I needed to get done and what I need to provide to her. I followed through with everything she asked of me including hiring an expert witness. At the trial she proved to be an outstanding lawyer by eloquently explaining my defense. Ultimately the Administrative Judge dismissed the Accusation and the BRN then adopted the decision. Elizabeth Brady believed in me and encouraged me throughout the entire process. She had an extensive knowledge of the system and kept me informed about everything. Elizabeth was available whenever I had questions or corncens and always got back to me in a timely manner. I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth Brady to anyone that gets an Accusation from the BRN or any board for that matter. She will fight for you diligently and it will be well worth your time and money. Getting an Accusation can be scary and outright devastating. Retaining the right lawyer can make a huge difference on the outcome of your case. I'm so blessed that I had such a great lawyer and received the results I did.

Top notch Lawyers

Elizabeth Brady and Sam Spital are true professionals and experts in their fields. They were very accessible and responded to my emails within a few hours every time I had a question. The advice and legal counsel given built a strong rebuttal to the investigation, which was dropped. I would highly re...commend them for any legal problem you have.

Miracle Worker

I cannot give enough stars to my attorney, Elizabeth Brady. I put in extensive research into attorneys who specialize in administrative law and Ms. Brady was highly recommended from several online reviews. I now understand why. One unfortunate evening I made the dumbest decision of my life, whic...h landed me in jail, having been arrested for a DUI. As bad as the consequences of a DUI are for the average individual, it’s worse when you are a licensed healthcare professional. Even worse when your BAC is unbelievably high, and resulted in a collision (no injuries, no passengers). There are horror stories all over the internet regarding the consequences of said actions for anyone holding a professional license in healthcare, first offense or not. I was terrified, depressed and expecting the worst, which would be to have my professional license revoked. The next best option would be that I would have had my license on probation for several years with mandatory drug/alcohol tests 3 times/week, mandatory counseling, mandatory rehab (regardless of whether a substance abuse problem exists or not) and mandatory support groups; which would sum up to greater than $20,000 all said and done. That’s not even counting the fees and fines for the DUI alone. Upon first contact with Ms.Brady, she was sincere, straight-forward, compassionate, non-judgmental and did not try to diminish the gravity of the situation. Ms. Brady initially let me know how the professional Board would respond, step by step, and created a game plan for my case. She gave me advice on things I could do prior to hearing from the Board to show them how serious I was taking this, and that I was taking the proper steps to make sure something like this would never happen again. After my actual conviction, Ms. Brady notified the Board that I was indeed found guilty and followed through with everything they required after that. She communicated with me every step of the way, which decreased my level of terror by leaps and bounds. After over a year of dealing with all this, Ms. Brady delivered an absolute miracle. The Board wrote me a simple citation with a fine (hefty fine, but definitely better than losing my license!) To date, I have not read another story from any other healthcare professional with aggravating factors as bad as mine with this type of outcome. I cannot recommend Ms. Brady highly enough to anyone. Her knowledge of administrative law is extensive and her professionalism and communication are unmatched.

Great job defending my nursing license

Very responsive to me and my needs. Elizabeth was able to help me retain my RN license with only a letter of reproval and was able to get my administrative fees lowered by 25%. The AG,s office was asking to revoke my license. After the settlement was reached she again assisted me when I could not ge...t the Board on Nursing to return my calls to set up payments. She was ableism to get them to contact me back in less than 24 hours. She listened to what I had to say and gave me strong legal advice.

Board of Nursing

I was falsely accused of diverting controlled substances as a travel RN after failing to waste with a witness. This was the first time I needed to obtain counsel in my life and I interviewed many. I ended up retaining Elizabeth because I was impressed with her education, experience, and overall famil...iarity in dealing with the BON. With her guidance, she prepared as according to the DAG, "a pretty significant" mitigation package. She highlighted my entire career, accomplishments, volunteer work, and argued persuasively on my behalf. She addressed how the facility had many systems failures, poor training, poor management, and within 2 days I was relieved to receive a letter of reprimand! I was honestly fearing probation but felt I didn't deserve such a harsh punishment. I am forever grateful for her hard work in achieving the best possible outcome for my case; she even avoided a costly hearing. If you are facing an issue with the BON, I highly recommend her. She truly will try to get you the best possible outcome!! She really walks you through each step and advises you what your options are. I communicated with her primarily through email and I greatly appreciated how she would notify me prior to submitting any document; I was always informed in what was happening with my case. I am now able to move forward and apply for my nurse practitioner license without concern. Thank you Elizabeth!
