Columbus Administrative Law Lawyer

Overview

I represent professionals seeking initial professional licensure or who are the subject of an investigation or discipline by their professional licensure board. Most of my clients have never been the subject of any type of investigation, public discipline or peer review process. Some of my clients are struggling with chemical dependency, addiction or a mental or physical condition that threatens their ability to practice their profession. This can be a very stressful and overwhelming time. I take time with each client to listen to their questions, concerns and fears and to explain the process in which they find themselves.

A founding member of Collis, Smiles & Collis, LLC, I focus my practice on representing individuals and companies before the State Medical Board of Ohio, Ohio State Dental Board, Ohio Board of Nursing, Ohio Pharmacy Board, Counselor and Social Worker Marriage and Family Therapy Board, Ohio Chiropractic Board, Ohio Psychology Board, Ohio Respiratory Care Board and Ohio Accountancy Board, and other professional licensure boards, as well as appeals of the decisions of those agencies to the Common Pleas Courts, Appellate Courts, and the Supreme Court of Ohio.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
