Excellent! Knowledgable! Superb!
Taralynn is very personable and really works for her nurses. I cannot express enough my gratitude I feel for everything she did for me. I strongly urge if you are a nurse facing the state boards to hire her as your lawyer. You won't be disappointed.

License protection

excellent representation
Hiring Taralynn Mackay was the best thing I could have ever done in handling my situation with the nursing board.. She is efficient, and honest. I could not have gotten done what she did for me.. I would highly reccommend her for anyone dealing with the board. She is calming and put me at great ease ...
"If you are looking for a subject matter expert in nursing regulation in Texas, Taralynn is a sure bet. She understands the personalities and posture of Texas agencies like the BON, and she has the experience to provide wise counsel. From Board negotiations to a SOAH merits hearing, she is a fantastic advocate for her clients."
"Outstanding attorney. I've worked with her on both sides of the docket for over two decades. A tenacious advocate. Practical, hardworking, honest, and reliable. Extremely well versed in the licensing and defense of nurses in the state of Texas. Experienced litigator; Particulalry knowledgeable of the rules of evidence and a skilled tactician. Board certified in Administrative Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Top notch by any standard."
"Taralynn is more than just another attorney who passionately represents her clients - personally, she is also a great mentor. When I started out as a new attorney (many would say I am still a new attorney, but I digress), Taralynn was supportive of my efforts to serve nurses in Texas with the same high professional standards that she exemplifies. I believe that I would not be the attorney I am today if it was not for the advice Taralynn has offered whenever I have needed the assistance."
"Taralynn is well-known and highly respected for her passionate defense of nurses before the Texas Board of Nursing. A true professional!"
"I have known Taralynn Mackay for 16 years. I have found her to be one of the most knowledgable attorneys in Texas when it comes to the Board of Nurse Examiners. She has made numerous successful appearances before the agency. The staff knows and respects her. She is known both in Texas and nationally as an educator for nurses and the law."
