Richard Quinton Hark

Attorney Hark is outstanding. He’s easy to talk to, professional, and knowledgeable. I had an issue with my nurse license after being falsely accused of being under the influence of “something“. Attorney Hark proved them wrong. Thank you Richard. You will be highly recommended to anyone that needs a ...good lawyer.

I am a RN who faced a complaint to the BON. I was terrified. I had a missing, wasted narcotic. I got the dreaded letter and packet from PNAP. I knew I didn’t divert a pill. I made the smartest move and called RIchard. He called me immediately and advised me what to do. I felt confident just talking t...o him. His reassurance and “we got this” attitude instilled faith in me. I knew I hired the right attorney. During this ordeal some incidents arose that prevented me from getting a job. I called Richard in tears and without a second though he said “get me the information and I’ll take care of it”. And just like that, he took care of it. I had a job two weeks later. Read his blogs. Take his advice. He knows what he is doing. Any nurse facing a complaint needs to consult with this guy. He keeps his word, he calls/texts you back. And he fights for you like he would fight for his own license. I am beyond grateful for Richard. Last night we finally got the email that my case was closed!

I am a mental health nurse and work more hours than I should. A year and a half ago, I made a huge stupid mistake and got a DUI. In a panicked state I called the nursing board to make them aware. I was immediately sent a letter regarding the VAP program. The letter stated, they wanted me to go into t...he VAP program on a temporary basis (only 3 months). In that time, if I did exactly as they said I would be free and clear. So, I continued. I saw a therapist weekly (sometimes more), I had to go for random drug tests that cost me a small fortune, I did EVERYTHING they asked. After the 3 months my therpaist released me stating I did not have an impairment. My drug tests were clean. However, this was not enough for them. They were not satisfied and wanted me to go into full program. They wanted me to go into an inpatient rehab, quit working for 6 months, continue therapy, and continue random drug testing. My anxiety and stress level went through the roof. I am not making excuses for my DUI, by any means, but my life had been In turmoil for about a year. My mother passed away, my marriage fell apart after he cheated, and my father was in a car accident paralyzed. I was trying to make it on my own for the 1st time in my life and now I was going to lose the last thing that meant something to me, my career. After a few days of crying, I knew I could afford to go through this program. Who was going to pay my bill? How was I going to survive? I started looking for new jobs outside of the nursing career. I googled what other nurses did in this process. And that's when I found Richard Hark. I read all of his review. I read his blogs about the VAP. I figured, I had no choice but to call him. Even though our first conversation was through tears, he calmed me down. Explained what we could do, made no promises of course, but told me that he would be by my side through the entire process. I hired him that day. I forwarded him everything that I jad received so far. He called me frequently to check in. When he contacted the nursing board in my defense, they set up an evaluation with one of their MDs to determine the level of my impairment. He coached me through this meeting. He even took the time to call me the morning of to make sure I was Ok. I wasn't, but he made me laugh, which in turn calmed me down. Today, I got the email that the MD said I did not have an impairment. It has been a long year and a half. I have been on pins and needles waiting for an answer. It's over. I would hire Richard Hark again if needed. He was professional, courtesy, understanding, and he listens. He understands the importance of a professional license because he holds one as well. However, he understands we are human and make stupid mistakes. I thank God I stumbled upon his blog. Without him, I would not be able to continue my passion. I am forever greatful.

I am an RN of 34 years, and have a meticulous record. I unfortunately made a very stupid mistake and got a DUI ( which had nothing to do with my job). The repurcussions of that one mistake, had I done what the nursing board wanted me to do( which is go into their voluntary assistance program), would ...have cost me my job, and most likely any chance of further employment as a nurse. I found Richard Hark, and fortunately he believed in me as much as I do in myself and my capabilities as a professional. I cannot stress enough that if you have a problem with the law and your professional license, that he is who you should call. He is very, very smart, he is very experienced, and will do everything he can to try to help you. He is 100 percent honest and makes it clear that there are no guarantees, but he will fight tooth and nail for you. Besides those things, I believe he goes above and beyond to help professionals. He understands how stressful these situations are and is very supportive and reassuring. He returns phone calls as soon as possible, he will text, he will meet you where it is convenient for both of you to meet. My job is not only something I love, but obviously my livelihood as well. Richard Hark is worth every penny he charges, so please keep that in mind if you are unsure whether to hire him. We won my case thanks to Richard, and my case is closed now with the nursing board. Don't hesitate to call him and discuss your issues...you will find that you can trust him to do everything possible to help you.

Richard helped me retain my nursing license. What I really like about him is that he really cares about me, he would call me on a regular basis to check on me to give updates on my case. He is easily accessible on the phone anytime even at off hours, if I call or text him he gets back to me immediate...ly. He counciled me on what to expect. He has many years of experience and I trust him and would reccomend him to anyone who want to protect their professional license.
