I was represented by Ray & Bishop. I almost lost everything especially 6 years of nursing school during this time my father had a TIA, car repossessed and I was without work and couldn’t pay my bills. I would recommend Mr. Bishop who knew I was innocent and understood the legal complexities of my case. While it was a long waiting period I can now get back to my career and dust myself off to begin a new. Thank you Mr. Bishop for everything! DNM

I was searching for a licensed defense attorney in California that specialized specifically in defending nurses against accusations from BVNPT/BRN and came across Ray & Bishop, PLC through a google search. I read reviews that former clients have posted about their representation and also looked up their webpage online. I decided to take a leap of faith after reviewing their reviews, website, and blog and seeing the successful comments and how satisfied clients who were represented by Ray & Bishop, PLC. were. I was dealing with a criminal matter that was dismissed but later was picked up by BVNPT and was sent an accusation that my license was being investigated and that they wanted to discipline me based on these allegations. The process from when the incident occurred to posting an accusation was approximately 5 years. Long story short, I was assigned to Mr. John Bishop regarding my matter with the boards and he was attentive, knowledgeable, matter of fact, understanding, straight forward, and responsive in answering my never ending questions and concerns. He was genuinely concerned and was available via email and by phone. Even though he was busy he would return my emails/calls promptly. Luckily, my case did not have to go through an administrative hearing and after 5 months I received the most wonderful news I could have ever asked for “accusation withdrawn” Words can’t express how grateful and relieved I am that this nightmare was finally resolved and I can finally move on. I can’t thank Mr. Bishop enough for his representation and how successful he was with his communication with BVNPT and ultimately avoiding any discipline against my license and not having to attend a hearing. I can say without reservations that if you are facing your license against being disciplined, please give Ray & Bishop, PLC. a call and do not hesitate to seek their consultation and representation.

I received a discipline in another state and California immediately followed suit. During trial, I did my best in answering the prosecutor’s questions. John would then ask me questions that further clarified my answers so that my answers could not be misinterpreted. I truly appreciate John. He allowed me the opportunity to tell my truth and helped save my career. God forbid that I ever be in this situation again; but if so, I wouldn’t hesitate to rehire him again and again. Thanks so much John!

I was in need a of lawyer to help guide me through the process of defending and retaining my nursing license. I shopped around and had multiple consults with different attorneys, many of whom telling me things I wanted to hear in order to earn my business. Mr. Bishop stood out from the rest due to his transparency and candor and was upfront with me from the start about what this process entailed and what I could expect. Throughout the process leading up to and during my hearing, Mr. Bishop was attentive, supportive, hardworking, empathetic, and effective. He worked to get me an excellent outcome with my nursing board and I couldn’t have been happier. With a shorter probation period than most, I am now petitioning the board for an early dismissal and I plan on hiring Mr. Bishop to represent me again. I would highly recommend him to anyone licensed professional seeking legal assistance. I can’t thank him enough for his help and will be forever grateful.

John was a very understanding and caring lawyer. He never judged me, nor said anything unkind. He was always professional and quick to respond to my needs. He took the anxiety away by always processing paperwork on my behalf, and always had a great attitude. I would hire John again and/or recommend him to anyone whom may need advice.

I retained Ray & Bishop because I was denied my P&C license, and my path to licensure was a very difficult one. My first conversation went Mr. Bishop, we went over the strategy for a defense that ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome. During this period, Mr. Bishop was in contact with me to answer all my questions and concerns, and go over necessary review for the case. I found his knowledge and expertise in his field to be top tier. I felt from day one I was in very capable hands, and to have an attorney that’s not just average or competent, but operates on a level of excellence, gave me a positive outlook. I am convinced if I did not retain Mr. Bishop, I would have not be licensed today.

I've approached John on multiple occasions for licensure questions in my various ventures (as well as friends). He has always been very approachable and available to answer my questions. A true professional. Reasonable, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to engage him as your attorney.

I was denied my insurance license and i reached out to John to help me fight the Ca Insurance Department. He was professional, affordable, and a good lawyer. He won my appeal and I was granted my license.

I washing through one of the most difficult situations professionally. I had previous counsel that I was hesitant about. I contacted Attorney Bishop, went in to meet with him and the rest is history. I hired attorney Bishop to defend me. Attorney Bishop was thorough and gave me hope. Attorney Bishop worked really hard and My Case Was Dismissed by the BRN. I am thankful that I had AttorneyBishop believe in me and represent me. You will not find a harder working attorney that will make it his mission to get you the best outcome possible for your situation. Attorney Bishop saved my professional career and I would recommend that all nurses seek him out and hire him if you want the best outcome for your case with the BRN. No words can express the level of gratitude that I Fee!! He is simply the best!

100% RECOMMENDED I am extremely thankful to have been referred to John Bishop. He worked diligently and effectively in getting my CA insurance license back. He work ethic and integrity makes me feel that there are great attorneys out there!

John did a great job on my case. I was extremely concerned about losing my license due to a few misdemeanor convictions but, John assured me that I would only have a restricted license and that I would not lose my career over this. He helped write a letter to the department of insurance for me. John is a very ethical attorney and will explain everything in detail to you. He will do whatever it takes to help you keep your license. I would highly recommend him!

I was going through the appeal process with the Dept of insurance for 16 months. I had a different lawyer prior to Mr. Bishop, that was sitting on my case. I was unhappy with my experience with this previous lawyer so I started to explore other legal representation. I was recommended by a third party, who had a successful experience with Mr. Bishop. My hearing was literally 30 days away and I contacted Mr. Bishop and explained my complex case. He and his staff were motivated to take on my case and made my experience very easy and simplistic for the short amount of time. Mr. Bishop was well prepared for the case and walked me through the court process, which de escalated my stress. I felt more confident with Mr. Bishop guidance and game plan for my case, versus the last 16 months. My case was successful due to Mr. Bishop professionalism, preparation and execution. I also would like to acknowledge the staff which exceeded my expectations. Mr. Bishop and staff was always respectful, serviceable and prompt. I am so thankful I made the choice to go with Mr. Bishop but more grateful he took on my case in a short amount of time. I understand what the process is all about and emotions that go with it. But I would always recommend Mr. Bishop to make that process a little easier for you and ultimately for you to receive the best results. Thanks Mr. Bishop and Staff for a great experience.
