The Attorney Who Gave Me My Career Back

I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am for Elizabeth Maebius Brady. When I initially reached out to her, I was overwhelmed with fear and regret. I was facing possible discipline from the BBS after a DUI, and everything I found online made it seem like my career was over. I spoke with other attor...neys, but none had Elizabeth's depth of experience with the BBS. From our first conversation, I knew she was the right person to trust. Elizabeth was patient with my anxiety, responsive when I needed clarity, and highly organized. She clearly outlined what she needed from me, step by step, and guided me through a process that felt impossible to manage alone. She never made unrealistic promises, but she made it known she would fight for the best possible outcome. And she did. The result: NO public discipline, NO probation, NO restrictions, NO ongoing investigation, and NO action taken by the Board. This outcome is extraordinary. My record is completely clean. Elizabeth didn’t just represent me; she protected my future. Anyone in a similar situation will hear one name from me: hers. I hope I never need legal help again, but if I do, I already know exactly who I’m calling.

GRATEFUL FOR THIS ATTORNEY

Elizabeth represented me regarding my professional license after a DUI arrest. She carefully guided me as to all communications with the state licensing board at every stage and the result is the case was resolved with NO PROBATION ON MY LICENSE. She spared no detail and worked countless hours incl...uding evenings and weekends to present the strongest case for me with an amazing result. I am grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her for all licensing issues.

Reliable and dependable

Hi, I got another DUI back in 2020, that was my 2nd DUI. I was lost and worried out of my mind. I didn't know what to do. My girlfriend at the time was able to find Sam and Sam lead me to Elizabeth. I was on the verge of mental and emotional breakdown. But after speaking with Sam and Elizabeth, They... became my glimmer of hope during that difficult time. My case was resolved with just a fine with no probationary terms on 4/21. After my case was intially closed, I had to renew my license and report that DUI, the boards of Nursing mistook that as a new case and tried to get me again on 5.31.23 on that same case. I panicked and contacted Elizabeth and even after 2 years of not speaking, we picked up where we left off. She responded timely and even sent a letter to the boards of nursing on my behalf on that same day. Now my case is closed. They're prompt response when I have questions and their willingness to work with my criminal lawyer was amazing. Every case is different but this was the best choice I've made for my legal team. I highly recommend Sam and Elizabeth.

Best Professional License Attorney

I made a huge error in judgment as a RN and was convicted of a DUI. I was defeated and I thought there was no hope for me other than harsh penalties, probation, and years of penance. Other nurses in a support group I found advised me to accept whatever the board offered as it was “cookie cutter,” a...nd that we all got the same punitive punishment that I didn’t need a lawyer. That isn’t true. I am so glad I hired her. I didn’t get a cookie cutter punishment and Elizabeth Brady saved my license. She went up and beyond. She was always prompt to return my emails. And believe me there were many. Sometimes she would email after 10 pm. I also remember her calling me back on a Saturday after I was freaked out. She really did go to bat for me. She put together a mitigating package for me and I have my life back. Hiring this firm was the best decision I could have made. It’s a scary place to be in. A shameful place but Attorney Brady was not judgmental and provided a clear plan. Although she can’t promise anything or even tell you about her success because every case is different, I can testify to the results she obtained for me. She saved my license and negotiated away terms and I had a favorable outcome. There is a light at the end of this I am so glad I had such an amazing attorney to get me there.

MBC Investigation Closed

I recently faced an investigation by the Medical Board of California after a misdemeanor DUI. Elizabeth offered outstanding legal advice and representation, communicating clearly throughout the process and working diligently to ensure that my license remained free of disciplinary action. Thanks to he...r efforts, my case was closed without action taken against my license. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone who found themselves in the same unfortunate situation I did.
