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.

Thank you, Melissa!

I was referred to Melissa by our firm's corporate attorney. I found her to be very professional and intelligent in how she resolved my case. She's a very effective attorney. I'm very happy with the result. It's clear she knows Westminster court inside and out. I would recommend her and Chudnovsky Law... to anyone needing a great defense attorney.

Positive and effective attorney

Melissa Duchene and her entire team are the best! She was able to accomplish so much so fast. My favorite attribute of hers, besides being an excellent criminal defense attorney, is the kindness and positivity she brought to all our interactions. I can't thank you enough Melissa!!!

Competent and easy to work with

Melissa and her entire team is very comforting and reassuring to interact with. She is a great professional license lawyer that really helped me navigating a sticky situation. Melissa is very confident and competent, without exhibiting any ego or pomp. I found her to be focused and strategic when ...resolving a medical license matter as efficiently and favorably as possible. She gave me her cell phone and was available whenever needed and is a very good communicator. I have had experience with several types of lawyers over the years, and Chudnovsky Law attorneys represent a high level of competence and professionalism. I feel very comfortable recommending Melissa and her firm to others.
