About Nicole
Biography
Conviction of a crime, or a medical malpractice lawsuit can result in adverse consequences to your employment and your professional license. The benefit to hiring an attorney like me is that I have experience with defending criminal, licensing, and medical malpractice lawsuits. I can fully advise you of any collateral consequences so that you can make an informed decision about your livelihood.
Please reach out for a free consultation so I can help you! I rarely check messages from Avvo, but you can find me on the State Bar website or look me up at my new firm by searching for Low, McKinley & Salenko.
I cannot guarantee results but I will fight to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

I highly recommend Nicole Valentine's legal services. If I knew then what I know now, sooner! I strongly feel that legal representation for collateral consequences is the most beneficial and important factor in dealing with professional licensing boards.

Best lawyer to deal with BRN
I retained with Nicole for disclosure to BRN and she did a wonderful job guiding me through this process. There was no stone left unturned and my disclosure letter was refined and completed under her direction. Her guidance can save your License. Just cal Goyette associates and retain Nicole.

Nicole saved my career!!
Nicole fought hard for me. She was supportive and her expertise got me a letter of Reproval! I was on the brink of getting all 19 probation stipulations and Nicole was able to get me out of it. I was convicted of a DUI with a 0.27 BAC and because of Nicole I averted probation. She is the BEST!!
