Taralynn Rena Mackay

Taralynn is a great lawyer; she has a deep understanding of both the legal process and the realities of nursing practice. As a nurse facing the Board, you will want to have representation by someone who has walked the nursing journey. It was a stressful season dealing with the case and the uncertaint...ies of the outcome. Her guidance and advice were a true comfort to me as she understood what was at stake - my nursing career. I'm thankful to have had her on my side and for her fierce advocacy. The case was dismissed, and charges were expunged. My professional license is clean. Thank you, Taralynn. With deepest gratitude, C.

The process with Taralynn was exceptional. The complaint was filed by an ex romantic partner. Taralynn was understanding and knowledgeable from our first conversation. Please do not hesitate to hire her to represent you. Remember, ANYONE can file a BON complaint against your license--be prepared with... malpractice insurance and be sure to hire Taralynn Mackay!

I was charged with a 3rd degree felony In Austin Texas. Accident involving injury. I was wayyy overcharged, but that’s not the point as far as the BON is concerned. The victim reported me to the Texas BON. I’m a CRNA. A felony conviction would cost me my career. I was notified by priority mail on Tha...nksgiving day of 2019. I hired Taralynn. I informed her of the criminal charges as well as the BON investigation (BON termed it a possible violation of the nurse practice act due to a felony charge) Taralynn counseled me , that as long as I wasn’t convicted of a felony, I would most likely keep my nursing license without any sanctions. She said that the BON would likely dismiss the investigation since the accident didn’t involve the act of nursing and wasn’t an act of moral turpitude. I just needed a misdemeanor. She said she would fight to keep my case open as long as we needed to deal with the criminal stuff. My case with the BON remained open for almost 1.5 years. For any nurses wondering about time lines, I was worried that my license would be suspended at any time if I didn’t get a criminal resolution. Obviously this didn’t happen and I kept my ability to earn an income during that entire period. Thanks to Taralynn. So breath Easy, if you’re in a situation like this.(you can also renew your license while under investigation, with no resolution) The prosecution in my case finally realized that my case didn’t warrant a felony charge and offered me a Class B misdemeanor- vehicular damage greater than $200. This happened in January of 2021. I immediately notified Taralynn once I had the court documents. She notified and provided this info to the BON investigator in my case. I just received word(March 2021) from her and the official letter that the BON has dismissed their investigation against me!! They are also expunging the investigation as well. Taralynn was amazing. She kept me informed throughout the process(every few months the BON investigator would check in with her). She assured me that everything would work out for me. She was correct and she helped make it happen. She was a Godsend for my family and me. She is THE Best in Texas. I hope you never need these services, but if you do, literally look no further. She’s been doing this for 20 plus years and worked at the Texas BON. She is an RN/JD. She knows the process and has the chops like no one else. I recommend her 1000 percent!

Taralynn represented me against the Texas Board of Nursing when my license was sanctioned due to a med error by a staff nurse while I was Director of Nursing for the facility. I couldn't have ask for better representation. She knew the laws and the regulations and I never felt less than 100% represen...ted. I always felt she was on my side and she will remain someone I highly respect for the rest or my life.
