RN got a citation!!

I am a registered nurse and made a huge mistake last summer and got a DUI. I hired her and Lucy into my case, they gave me a list of tasks to complete and I thoroughly completed them and received a citation from the BRN with a BAC of 0.18% which is EXTREMELY rare. Throughout the process, Sheena was ...available to help answer any questions I had. When I was applying for jobs after the DUI and had to disclose it, she even helped me write a statement regarding the hit on my background check and reassured me every step of the way. She even called me after finding out about the citation to congratulate me again and let me know to call her when I have to renew my license to give a statement regarding the question that makes me disclose that I got a conviction since my last renewal, so that I don’t have to go through all of this again. I cannot recommend her enough. She helped save my career. Thank you Sheena.

Highly recommend!!

Absolutely incredible lawyer and team. I was struggling with getting my RN license for years until hiring legal help. Sheena helped me every step of the way through this process, and I’m happy to say I received my RN license and the BRN dropped the case against me. There are truly not enough words to... express how grateful I am!! Thank you for making my dreams a reality. HIGHLY recommend Sheena!!

Great Lawyer

I worked with Sheena through Lucy McAllister. She helped me with a disclosure to the BRN of a DUI. Sheena is wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable, professional and very attentive to all my questions and concerns. She walked me through the process and guided me every step of the way. She made ...me feel very comfortable and helped me think positively. I would highly recommend her (and the team of Lucy McAllister). Because of their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve the best outcome. I am sincerely grateful for their support.

Highly Recommend this Attorney

Ms Tran, in connection with Lucy McAllister's office, helped me with a disclosure to the BRN of a DUI. I highly recommend her services. She answered calls and returned messages quickly (always within a day or two). She was very supportive throughout the process and the final disclosure/rehabilitation... evidence packet that she and Ms McAllister put together looks very official and professional. I am very grateful for all her help and guidance throughout this process. I will be highly recommending her (and Lucy McAllister's office) to friends and family that are in need of legal help protecting a professional license.

Great lawyer - Thank you

Sheena worked on my divorce case in 2014. She always conducted herself in a professional manner and explained the divorce process very thoroughly to me from the beginning of the case. She responded to my e-mails and phone calls quickly and was focused and prepared for my court hearing. I highly rec...ommend Sheena to all because she is attentive, communicative, and an honest person.
