So grateful!

After learning that I had to disclose my DUI conviction to the BRN, I was terrified and went down a rabbit hole of research. I found Chudnovsky law where Melissa was assigned to me. From our first conversation, it was clear to me she was very familiar with the board and nursing in general. I was so i...mpressed by her knowledge and she really placated my biggest concerns. We bonded over shared understanding of the high demands of the healthcare industry. Overall, I am so pleased and excited to say that the BRN decided not to discipline my license and gave me a citation instead. After reading of the possible consequences of a DUI in my license, I know choosing Melissa to help made the difference. Thank you so much.

BRN Case

I cannot explain how thankful I am for Melissa and her diligence in handling my DUI case against the BRN. I walked away with nothing against my license (only a citation) and no fees to pay. She was great with communication which helped with my anxiety through this extensive process. I would highly re...commend her if you’re going up against the BRN.

I found Melissa Duchene to be an excellent lawyer

I found Melissa Duchene to be an excellent lawyer for nurse license matters. She was always very responsive and knew the Nursing Board investigator assigned to my case. I felt that she represented me professionally at every stage and I have the highest regard for her abilities and knowledge. In my ca...se, she almost acted like a therapist for me sometimes, helping me deal with the copious stress I was feeling dealing with the BRN. I can highly recommend her for license issues.

She saved my license

Melissa was so helpful after I made a horrible mistake that put my license in jeopardy. I spoke to so many attorneys and and she was the only one who gave me the confidence to defend myself. I am so glad I did. She did not back down, she took my case to hearing, and after a great defense, the judge a...greed I should keep it! Thank you!
