Exceptionally knowledgeable on BRN attorney!

Scott Harris is an exceptionally knowledge Administrative Law Attorney. He represented me in charges from the BRN. It was his exceptional knowledge of how the BRN charges and hearings work the helped to save my license. He set up a mitigation plan that I followed and did everything he outlined. Becau...se of this Mitigation plan he was able to get a resolution by way of a settlement offer from the BRN. This settlement allowed me to keep my license with the minimalist penalty allowed to me. Thanks to Scott I was able to retain my license and still work as a Registered Nurse. I interviewed several attorneys and I am so happy with my decision to retain Scott Harris, he was definitely the most knowledgeable attorney for my case.

Nursing License Defense

I received an accusation on my nursing license related to a first offense misdemeanor DUI. The Board of Nursing wanted to revoke my license related to this incident. I was very lucky to have found Scott Harris by doing a random search on the internet for license defense lawyers. He was the second la...wyer that I went to regarding this issue but I knew right away that I wanted him to represent me. From the time I met Mr. Harris, and throughout the whole process, he kept me informed on all of my options, took time to listen to my concerns and always gave me honest answers and feedback. He was very supportive and always available throughout this stressful time. With Mr. Harris representing me, I chose to take my case before an administrative law judge. The judge ruled in our favor and recommended that the brn not revoke my license. The board decided to non adopt the decision and still wanted to revoke my license with a probation period. We had to take my case to the superior court, where another judge ruled in my favor ordering the brn to reconsider the decision, stating that license revocation was too extreme of a discipline in my case. I am very happy with how my case turned out and thanks to the help of Mr. Harris my license was not revoked by the brn. I highly recommend Scott Harris to anyone in need of license defense.
