Best Nursing Lawyer

Very happy with the services provided by Megan Blancho! The first time I called her office I was able to speak with her and let her know I was in nursing school and needed her guidance with filling out a personal statement to the board of nursing. She guided me through the entire process of applyin...g to the FBON in order to sit for the NCLEX. I was able to sit for boards and passed! I am writing this review as a way to share my experience and so happy I made the decision for Megan Blancho to help me get my RN license. She made it possible, forever grateful!

Above and Beyond

Megan handled my case thoroughly and with care. She worked hard to eventually get my case dismissed. I would highly recommend Megan Blancho for any complex legal matter related to professional licensing.

Megan Blancho - The BEST!

I hired Megan to help me get my nursing license back after losing it 20 years ago. I knew the job would be a daunting task and virtually impossible. After meticulously preparing my case we were asked to appear before the board, in person. . She told me exactly what to expect & said she was, “cau...tiously optimistic” when I asked her what my chances were. When we approached the board she methodically & professionally presented my case perfectly! I know if I had NOT hired her my results would’ve been different. I can’t say enough good things about her! Because of her work ethic, integrity & level of commitment I can happily say I will get to work as a nurse again.

Megan works her magic

Megan got back to me as soon as I called and listened to what I had to say. She took my case immediately and came up with a game plan. She reassured me many times throughout the process even when I had my doubts. My case went to the board and was investigated. all of Megan‘s experience and knowledge ...of the system saved my career and my license. I’ll always be very appreciative to her for doing so.
