Richard Quinton Hark

When I found myself in a situation that I never envisioned myself being involved in, I knew I needed the best representation I could find. Luckily I found Hark and Hark and hired Richard Hark to represent me in a completely false and defamatory claim against my nursing license. After being accused of... diversion of narcotics and reported to Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing with no proof to these accusations, he attacked the claims head on on my behalf. We were in constant communication every step of the way. There was never a time I contacted him and did not get an immediate response. He never allowed me to be bullied or blindsided by any of the actions of my former employer. If you are in my position, I know it is scary and overwhelming but he can and will help you protect your rights. I can not put into words the level of gratitude I hold for Richard Hark and his staff.

Attorney Hark is an amazing lawyer, especially for professionals. I had an issue dealing with The PA board of nursing where they threatened to sanction my nursing license. I went to school for 6+ years for my RN and there was no way I wasn’t going to put up a fight and getting a lawyer that has exper...ience with professional licensing was extremely important also. Attorney Hark prepared me for the nursing board investigation and the assessment that came with it. He called me frequently updating me on the case and calmed my nerves when I needed it. Because I am in Pittsburgh and he is in Philly, we FaceTimed, texted, and spoke on the phone for all our appointments. (He is easy on the eyes so I wouldn’t mind ;) )I didn’t need to make a 6 hour trip to Philly ever! He is smart, kind, and is very honest when it comes to your case and will do everything he can to help you. He was worth every penny and when it comes to your livelihood, you would spend anything to keep your license and in good standing. He is the best and I would use him again in a heartbeat but I don’t ever plan on dealing with the horrid board of nursing. Thanks again Mr. Hark, you are indeed the best!

I was unfortunately involved in a workplace incident that triggered a referral to substance abuse program and even worse, an investigation by one of the state’s administrative boards into my physical and psychological well-being to practice. From my first call, Richard took the time to get to know me... as a person and professional. He explained the entire investigatory process from start to finish and exactly what I needed to do to ensure the best possible outcome. He was able to help me develop a very reasonable payment plan- which was one one of my biggest fears because I was out of work. He and his office staff worked closely with me for months through one of the most trying times of my life. Throughout the process he and his staff would not only check in on me, but helped me get all my necessary documents in order, and personally prepared me for interviews, hearings etc. Richard also personally attended these with me and was able to put my mind at ease. Richard and his staff are incredible at their work. They care about healthcare providers and I would, without reservation, recommend him to anyone facing action against their license.

Approx. 1 year ago, I received a letter in the mail that I needed to contact PNAP and submit myself to the VRP for false accusations made to the SBON. I was a total wreck. I had no clue what was in front of me, what I was reading, and didn’t realize that PNAP & THE VRP ARE COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY! DO NO...T CALL THAT PHONE NUMBER! DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT INVESTIGATOR! DO NOT DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN CALL RICHARD!!! I wanted to just give up. I thought there is no way I can do this. This is the State Board and they are way more powerful than me. WRONG! I can promise you, Richard will never make you feel any less than the incredible professional you are! He calmed me down every time worry took over. He walked me through every step of the way. He is a proficient, efficient, timely, professional yet friendly, caring, straight to the point, no BS, get-the-job done kind of lawyer that I needed. Him & Jessica are so easy to work with. They always responds to texts, emails and phone calls quickly. Sometimes within minutes. Richard is literally a text away when you need him. I promise you won’t regret it. Here I sit one year later, writing the kind of review that I read about a year ago. My case was closed and I can finally go about my life and CAREER without this in the back of my head everyday. I am so glad I found Richard and although I hope “YOU” are never in this situation, I hope “YOU” are the one writing this amazing review someday. Because if you chose Richard, “YOU” will get to write a 5 star review.
