Graff & McGovern, LPA

The best lawyers for anything OBN related! Prompt, professional service with great outcomes. I recommend 100% Jim and his team helped me get my permanent restrictions lifted. This is something I never thought would be possible. His help has opened up a world of opportunities that I thought were no longer possible.

All the staff at Graff & McGovern were very pleasant, and professional. I was highly referred to them by a friend of mine who had used their services. Prior to my initial call, I had so many questions, was frantic and didn't know anything about the process of navigating with the OBON with a complaint filed against you. Jim answered my initial call. Jim, was very patient and outlined all the steps that were ahead of me. After my initial consultation, I clearly knew what to expect Brandon S was my attorney, and he done a fantastic job dealing with my case! Brandon helped me set realistic expectations, helped me narrarte my words and thoughts in a professional and suitable manner to provide to my complaint. There was never a time while working with Brandon I was confused as to what was going on with my complaint. I also like to add Monica, Legal Assistant was very easy to speak to and always responded in a timely manner of anything I needed. Brandon had I believe an intern (please forgive me for forgetting your name) and she was well educated ib this field of expertise and I have no doubt she will do great things! Overall, I just want to thank everyone for all the help they provided me. If you are looking for a great attorney, you have definitely come to the right place! I don't have anything negative to say about my experience. To those nurses who are about to possibly start this process, keep your head up, work hard, learn from your mistakes, and become better than you ever been! Thanks again, R.M.💛

Mr. McGovern was always very clear and professional. He made sure I understood every step of my legal process, whether through email or phone call, and I always felt as if he had my best interests at heart. Hopefully I will NEVER need his services again, but I would not hesitate to hire him again should the need arise.

I used this firm for an issue with the CSWMFT board in Ohio and the attorney used, Brandon Smith, did an excellent job of representing me. I highly recommend them and would use them, again, if needed.

The staff here and especially my attorney Jim McGovern did such a great job for me and was affordable. He truly made an extremely difficult situation as easy and stress free for me as possible while dealing with the Board of Nursing. I am sincerely thankful for all the efforts of him and his support staff during this emotional experience and am gladly recommending him for any legal issues especially concerning the Board of Nursing... Thank you Jim S. Cuthbert

The entire thing was shotty to say the least. First thing I did not like, is if they respond to an email, that falls under the minimal of 15 minutes of billing, which can add up quickly. I gave them X amount, knowing if I took case to hearing it would be Y amount, but then it turned into Z amount, which was more obviously, with no extra work. At times, if felt like I needed to motivate my attorney and he was a bit childish, and then they send this stupid monthly statement out, that shows how much money they cost, but they do not list your retainer/credit, and then trying to get that balance is difficult. Cost me a ton of money and they didn't really do anything.

I wholeheartedly recommend Graff & McGovern. Jim McGovern and his staff exhibit 3 qualities I want in a professional service: Accountability, Integrity and Loyalty. I felt the entire time they were on my side. That seldom happens nowadays. Thank you all!

I had a situation with OBN , in which I had no true idea of the meaning of things . Jim helped me resolve my issue while being truly transparent, communicative, and enlightening during the process. I highly reccomend if looking for representation with board of nursing. Don't walk. Run !

Attorney Smith and his team are excellent, extremely responsive, they listen, and answer all questions.

I had a great experience with Brandon Smith. He was very attentive, informative, and represented my interests well. I would highly recommend him.

Had a great experience! I found the attorneys and staff to be professional and timely.

I hired Brandon Smith to assist me with allegations made against me by a former employer, which I believe were unfounded. The Ohio Chemical Dependency Board had attempted to have me sign a consent agreement that I did not feel was appropriate. Mr. Smith guided me through the process of requesting a hearing, and his support was invaluable in ensuring that my perspective was heard. Ultimately, we were successful at the hearing, and there were no findings against me regarding the allegations.

I worked with Brandon Smith regarding a false accusation made against my license. Throughout the few weeks we worked together, he was thorough, prompt, and responsive. Should I go through this again (God forbid), I would hire him back without hesitation. His assistant, Monica, was also very helpful.

He his the best ...l recommend him with my full chest.

Atty. McGovern was amazing and is very knowledgeable when working with OBN!! Highly recommended and would hire again to represent me in a heartbeat.

Very professional and did a great job representing me.

Very Professional and courteous. Usually very quick to reply and very good about keeping me informed of where things stood. Highly recommend.

Brandon was very efficient, prompt, informative, etc. He helped solve my issue very quickly.
