Marit Marie Sivertson

I received a letter from the board of nursing and was shocked. Some of the allegations that were made against me were exaggerated or untrue, I felt lost. I came across Sivertson & Barrette through online research and my local attorney. Marit took the time to review my case over the phone before I ...retained her as well as explaining everything in clear detail along with possible scenarios that could happen. Throughout this whole process, she was there for me whenever I needed her, even on the weekends as well as after business hours. She is professional not only in her clear command of the rules and process but in her compassion as a person. I am beyond grateful for the services that she provided for my family and I. We met in person along with my husband so that I could prepare myself for how to face the board and eventually, my case was dismissed in its entirety. I could not be more confident in my recommendation of her to any of my friends or co-workers if faced with allegations from the board of nursing.

Marit was amazing! From when I first spoke to her on the phone prior to retaining her, she was very compassionate, and truly wanted to listen to my needs and problems. She did a fantastic job at getting me ready to go in front of the board. She always remand positive, and always kept my spirits up. S...he was truly my blessing and could not have done it without her by my side. I can not Thank you enough Marit. If you are a nurse facing the board you must call her, she is the best, hands down.

Marit Sivertson was an attorney that I contacted BEFORE getting my nursing license as I had received a notice of conference contesting some of the information on my application. I spoke with her for almost an hour and she reviewed many aspects of my upcoming conference and how the Board would pick ap...art my case. She gave the advice free of charge and didn't pressure me to hire her even once. I wish I had hired her immediately then because my hearing with the Board led to a complicated Stipulation and Consent Order and I immediately knew to call Marit once again and this time to hire her to represent me. From the minute I asked for her help (even before receiving the retainer), I knew Marit was working hard on my side to protect me from any potential damage to my future career in nursing. Marit has been a phone call, email, or text away this entire time day and night. She is thoroughly versed on not only the staff at the Board of Nursing but she understands the road map with which the Board uses to navigate the course of licensure, relicensure, and everything between the initial notification from the Board to the final decision from the Board regarding each case. I absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Marit to any nurse or potential nurse that has to communicate with the Board of nursing. I would also recommend that you trust her throughout the process - she is kind and thorough but she is also extremely tough with the Board and ensuring you are 100% represented throughout your process.

I have been a nurse for over ten years had a great career. Recently I was notified by the MN BON on two separate occasions that my license was in jeopardy. The first case I thought to myself you know what I am innocent and I am just going to go in there and tell the truth. I thought I could save mone...y represent myself and just tell the truth how could I go wrong? When I went in front of the board they absolutely tore my license apart. I am on several restrictions and not able to practice like I used to. My second case I called Marit and was again up against some serious charges. From the minute I got off the phone with her I knew I had made the right choice. She walked me through the whole process. I honestly did not worry about a thing and when the conference came she sat right next to me and it's like I was instantly given this respect that I was not given the last time. Things went very different and my case was actually dismissed. If I could do one thing over in my life I would go back in time and hire Marit the first time I received a letter from the MN board of nursing. Words cannot even begin to explain how strongly I feel Marit can make a difference for you when dealing with the board.

When Marit was retained as my lawyer I was hopeless and was devastated by the thought of having my nursing licence suspended. Throughout the whole process she was such a great advocate for me and was so knowledgeable about the intricate workings of the Minnesota Board of Nursing. I feel that this wa...s a huge positive for me and my specific case. She researched my specific situation and developed a great defense that ultimately was the key factor in getting my stay of suspension dropped and no disciplinary action taken against me and my nursing licence. This was such a great outcome and I truly feel that it would never have happened if I had anyone else representing me. I would recommend Marit Sivertson to anyone having any kind if issue with there nursing licence and the Nursing board of Minnesota. She is a consummate professional in ever sense of the word!
