A source of light during dark times

Barb was an incredible source of knowledge and support for me through one of the most difficult times in my entire life. I have always taken extreme pride in my nursing practice, so when I was faced with an inquiry from the Board of Nursing it crushed me. Barb was professional and positive, she suppo...rted me every step of the way. Getting notification of the dismissal of the complaints against me felt like the weight of the last year being lifted off my shoulders. I can breathe again and go on to continue doing what I love, caring for others by being a nurse. I am forever grateful to Barb and everything that she helped me with. I would, and already have, recommend her services to anyone seeking legal representation in license defense. Thank you, Barb! You’re amazing!

RN

Barb is an amazing attorney. I felt little support from family and friends, however Barb went beyond all expectations and provided the emotional support to get through the board of nursing process when a complaint is filed against you. She makes it very clear what to expect and there were no surprise...s. I would recommend no other attorney when dealing with the board of nursing. She got my case from a suspension down to a reprimand and fine. I can not thank you enough.

A lifesaver

Barb worked with to address my professional board after a complaint was made against me. My license was in the application stage so this could have prevented me from getting my license. Barb offered me such reassurance that I was not in this alone, and that she would be there with every step of the w...ay. I felt so prepared and supported by Barb during this terrifying process. I would 100% work with her again or recommend her to my colleagues if they face similar accusations. Barb was responsive, listened to my story, and I felt like she was truly advocating for me. Thank you so much Barb!!

Board Have Mercy!

My particular case involved both DHS and the Board of Nursing. I foolishly "handled" DHS alone and seriously botched it. Subsequently, I received an Order for Revocation from the Board. It was then that I knew I needed legal advice. I chose Barb because she is both an RN and an attorney. Her experien...ce in both professions made all the difference in the world. She was always courteous and quick to respond to my many, many questions and to ease my ever present anxiety. Today is the end of the journey, and I remain licensed to practice as an RN. I am so grateful that God led me to Barb, words don't describe it. I would not have a license today if not for her diligence and commitment to my case.

Highly recommend

I would recommend Barb Forshier for representation in any matter going before the Board of Nursing. She's knowledgeable not just about the principles of the law as they apply to your case, but also to how the process works in practice. She answers questions promptly and was always available when I ...needed any kind of clarification on what was being asked or why. She knows the representatives of the Board by name, their manner, and the issues they tend to focus on, insight that only her level of experience can provide. This lets you put things in context you might not otherwise have, and prepares you for anything that the process might throw at you. The steps leading to the resolution of your issue can seem painfully slow, confusing and opaque, but she's a wonderful source of reassurance and expert advice throughout what can be a very frustrating process. You'll be glad to have hired her. Really, I can't imagine someone having done a better job.
