Nicole Valentine

I hired Nicole Valentine in February of this year after I made a really stupid decision in January and got a DUI. I am an RN in California and the board of registered nursing in this state is ruthless and unforgiving. Needless to say, I was terrified. If you are in a similar situation, listen to me: ...HIRE A LAWYER TO DISCLOSE YOUR CONVICTION. Don't go at this alone, it could cost you your career. Nicole is AWESOME. I hired her to disclose what ended up being a conviction for a wet reckless. The last year has been the worst year of my life because of this stupid mistake and I had no idea what to expect or how to proceed, and I had so much on the line. To be honest, I needed a friend as well as a lawyer. Someone to help navigate me through the process and hold my hand a little bit. It's such a hard time. Nicole was just that. As opposed to my DUI lawyer who was impossible to get a hold of, Nicole was available 24/7, actually took the time to explain stuff to me, and made me feel a million times better about going through this hell. She always took the time to answer my questions and gave me hope. She's awesome. If you are going through this, I am sorry, I know the pain. Do yourself a favor and hire this amazing lawyer. She will make this terrible experience manageable. I heard from the BRN about a week ago and was issued a citation and fine- the best possible outcome. Thanks again Nicole!

Nicole was great! I was referred her via Jennifer Coalson-Perez and RN Guardian to assist me in writing a disclosure letter to the CA BRN for my RN license. She was very knowledgeable in editing my letter to give me the best possible chance to sit for my boards and receive my license in CA. Nicole wa...s beyond fair in working with me as far as pricing was concerned and I have already recommended her services to several others.

I am a 27 year old RN with a DUI (0.16%) and a collision, first offense. After hiring a DUI lawyer who promised me he had nursing experience and then denied it later and left me high and dry with the BRN, I found Nicole through RN Guardian. I had called many others who claimed RN/DUI specialty who of...fered to talk to me for $10k. Not only were her prices totally reasonable, Nicole was knowledgeable, confident, and unbeatable in her success rate. She was available, clear, and supportive throughout the process and as promised, she got me the best possible outcome for my individual situation. It was a long wait for the BRN but they agreed to settle with a Public Reproval instead of 3-5 years of probation or even worse, revoking my license. If you are going through this process, you know that this is a game changer. I cannot thank or recommend Nicole enough. You will not regret hiring her!

Nicole was nothing short of a life saver. I was an out-of-state RN with a California nursing license who made the mistake of drinking and driving. The CA BRN was and still is (2.5 years later) after blood, and my criminal attorney, who said he handled nurses cases in the past, obviously hadn’t and re...commended I plea nolo contendre, which come to find out screwed my RN License over even more. Nicole came to the rescue, was always available, very compassionate and extremely professional and knowledgeable. I don’t know where I’d be today without Nicole. She made this nightmare of a situation a little less unbearable. This being my first charge of any kind, I was terrified and without council. I was also able to use my NSO license insurance to pay for a large portion of the legal fees, which Nicole helped to coordinate.

I recently used Nicole Valentine's legal services and am VERY satisfied. I am a nurse in the RN Diversion program and was facing related criminal charges. Nicole is a straight forward, honest, and reliable attorney. I was incredibly stressed about my legal situation and Nicole was always there to kee...p me calm (not an easy task!). I felt very confident in her abilities throughout the process and I could not be more grateful that I chose her over anyone else to handle my case. She is very well spoken, professional, and a superstar attorney.
