Nicole Valentine

I was cited with a DUI earlier in January and being that I'm a Nursing Graduate, i knew I needed an experienced attorney that not only deals with the criminal aspect and DMV but also with the Board of Registered Nursing. After talking to several lawyers that only gave me mediocre advice, I reached ou...t Nicole for representation. Nicole is a very experienced lawyer when it comes to DUI's. She was always objective and optimistic about my case and was able to win my DMV hearing. Thank You Nicole!!!!

Nicole Valentine is a lawyer who understands the ins and outs of Employment Law and all of the Politics that go on behind the scenes. Nicole Valentine is a diligent, veracious, fighter, for your interests in court, and will not back down no matter what the odds are. Nicole Valentine is the lawyer yo...u need when you have to win.

By the time I hired Nicole, I was depressed and overwhelmed with the previous ineptitude and incompetence of 3 other lawyers I had hired and fired and 7 consultations, not to mention the $10K+ I had already spent. The accusation against my RN license was for endangering public safety 4 years prior in... an auto accident. I had fallen asleep driving home after multiple night shifts. I also was taking prescription medication at the time which was considered reckless. The BRN was threatening to revoke my license and my previous lawyer had negotiated for probation and a hearing with the BRN where the ruling could go any which way. I fired him!! Thank God I did. Nicole listened to my concerns and suggestions for my defense and she agreed to and/or had the similar/better suggestions for my defense. Although she could not promise I would get a reproval, we took the steps necessary to make the best possible case to show the BRN that I should get one. Nicole was kind, patient, and respectful. Things you would expect someone working for you would be (not the case with the other lawyers). So if your gut is saying, I don't think my lawyer cares about me or has my best interest at heart--RUN! And hire Nicole! In the end, I got the best possible outcome. I kept my license, no probation just the reproval. Best of all, I have peace of mind and can continue to care for my patients without restrictions and the stigma attached to BRN punishments. The fine and lawyers fees are costly, but if you are able to read this review and hire Nicole first, you will save yourself so much money.

Almost two years ago I got a DUI and I was absolutely devastated. The BRN filed an accusation against my nursing license so I reached out to RN Guardian and they referred me to Nicole. The whole situation was absolutely terrifying and stressful. Nicole took the time to listen to my situation and was ...there to help me along the way. Nicole put together a a settlement and I just heard back from the BRN and received a Public Reproval! I feel I can finally put this unfortunate chapter behind me and continue on in a career I love. Thank you Nicole!

When I received a letter from the BRN about a complaint against my license, I was devastated! Being the breadwinner for my family, 7 months pregnant with my 2nd child and working a full-time job, I felt overwhelmed with stress! Especially since I was not aware that this had been brewing without my kn...owledge for the past couple of years! I immediately started searching for a lawyer and hired Nicole Valentine. She was an open-book from the first conversation I had with her, which was 1.5 hours long! That's unheard of! She thoroughly explained all aspects of the case. I am so thankful to her for being so patient with me. I would call her crying, worried about the outcome, and she would attentively listen to all my concerns. Not only did she handle my case professionally, but most importantly, her experience proved that she knew what she was doing. The 3 year probation that was initially ordered was dismissed and replaced with public reproval. She saved my license, my job, and most importantly, the right to practice as an RN as I rightfully deserve to do so! I highly advise all my fellow nurses out there who receive these devastating letters from the BRN to pick up the phone and connect with Nicole Valentine.
