Richard Quinton Hark

I had a DUI in 2020 and didn't hear of Richard Hark until I was already pretty much forced into signing a contract with the PNAP program (now NHP). I finished out my 3 year program but when it was time to be released, the program failed to release me and informed me that I had another year and a ha...lf to go due to a positive test that was unfounded by an evaluation and a MD review. I was devastated as I never knowingly used any illicit substance after signing the contract and I didn't know where to turn. A friend of mine recommended Richard Hark so I called him up. This was the best decision I ever made. Richard and his assistant, Jessica, are very knowledgeable and attentive. After speaking with Richard my fears were laid to rest. Richard and his staff were always available to communicate any time of the day or night. I worked with Richard and Jessica to gather all necessary paperwork and they were very patient with me. Richard had me set up an evaluation with an approved MD and when the report was done it was sent to the board along with a petition to terminate the contract since the contract date ended 4 months prior. I was very surprised, after a day or so I received an order to reinstate my license effective immediately. I was feeling trapped, hopeless and unsure if they were ever gonna let me out and the program literally took me broke. I will always be grateful to Richard and his staff. I found out the hard way that you can not fight these people without legal help and I would 1000% recommend Hark & Hark to anyone who gets caught up in this trap. I am free. Finally after 3.5 years of testing, classes and financial struggles, I will be able to continue with my life with the help of this firm.

Richard is extremely professional, always on time, and has great communication skills. He has a way of calming your fears and also has some great stress-relieving tactics. Not only is he a wonderful lawyer, but he is a phone call away offering great advice. He knows the Board of Nursing like the back... of his hand and has extreme knowledge in handling multiple DUI situations. If you find yourself in a pickle, call Richard.

Richard Hark is straight with no chaser. He kept it real, and his sense of humor was a comfort through a very stressful process. He laid out explicit instructions on how to build a bulletproof portfolio to protect my professional license. I was impressed with how accesible and responsive he was throu...ghout our interaction. He was fair, understanding and reasonable, and I can’t thank him enough for the work he did to prepare me for the worst.

Richard Hark was the lawyer I chose to represent me against bogus allegations and demands made by the state board which had me lose two years of income. After doing thorough research I came across his website and was beyond impressed and knew instantly I needed him to represent me. Not only was he be...yond an expert in telling me step by step the process to clear my name and gave me the push I needed whenever I became afraid or had doubts about my ability to get reinstated full and clear without any restrictions - period! There is no other attorney in the state that can do what he does with the proven methods he has to help professionals like myself get back to our careers in record time and I am forever grateful that I had the blessing of him as my representation! If you are facing any threat to your professional license he is the ONLY CHOICE work putting your faith in. He even would go out of his way to call and text me to make sure I was doing ok and If I was not getting him the info he needed in the time he demanded of me- without his commit to helping me and encouraging me- I never would have cleared my name and regained the ability to further my career.

It’s hard to find a lawyer that is familiar with the State Board of Nursing and the traps of PHMP/PNAP/DMU. Richard Hark knows all their language and holds the keys to release the locks on our licenses. I wish I had consulted with him before I signed my initial order or spoke a word to their case man...agers. I’m sure the ten years I was imprisoned in their “voluntary” recovery program for a DUI would have been over within a year or two. From the beginning he cut through the bs, simply told me what I needed to do, immediately responded to my questions several times a week and resolved my issue before my hearing date. I am finally free from the Board’s program with no restrictions on my license. Richard gets the job done and saved my career. I will forever be grateful.
