Nicole Valentine

At the end of 2019, I was arrested for drunk driving. A few days later I retained Nicole for her services as she was recommended by a close friend. My BAC was 0.129 via blood and she was able to negotiate the DUI to a Wet Reckless with a ONE year informal probation order. I did one day of Sheriff ...Work Project and the three month DUI education class which I did over Zoom during the SAH order due to COVID. Within 30 days of conviction, the Wet Reckless was reported to the BRN and today, I received a Citation order from the BRN with a fine of $750. Nicole advised me to do CE pertaining to alcohol and substance abuse as well as have work performance evaluations as all of this was part of the mitigation packet that was submitted to the DA and BRN. This was the very result that Nicole predicted as she has done this was a very long time and she is knowledgeable in what she does. I could not thank her enough. If you're a RN in crisis for whatever reason and will be dealing with the BRN, please do yourself a favor and retain Nicole for her services.

Nicole was knowledgeable in the process of my case, available by email and phone for questions or comments I had; she was confident in her manner with dealing with a less than cooperative prosecutor; and ultimately was successful in the dismissal of my accusations. I would highly recommend Nicole for... defense with BRN accusations. Her staff with Goyette & Associates were also available and helpful when I called. They were responsive to my questions and requests to contact Nicole.

I received a letter for the BRN that I was under investigation for an incident that occurred at my hospital with a patient. Nicole and all those who work with her were so great and helpful throughout the entire process. Nicole asks direct questions pertaining to the situation, fees are flat and not h...ourly which i preferred, and she is very responsive when needed. She has great connections and is familiar with many investigators at the BRN. She walks you step by step with how these investigations usually unfold and does not beat around the bush. She is so kind and even though my case closed without any intervention or disciplinary action, I still feel obligated to write about how incredibly supportive her and her staff were during the process.

Nicole stayed with me and worked through my complex case for over 4 years while the BRN dragged things out. She is the most competent Nursing attorney you will find. My case was not easy but she persisted. She knows the law and she understood the facts surrounding my case. More importantly, she b...elieved in me. Her representation of the facts was stellar and, because of her gift of being able to put things into logical perspective and paint a picture for the judge, the court was able to see the events that took place with clarity. Nicole is unbelievably amazing at orchestrating a theater of events for the court. That is where she is in her element and she really SHINES. My case was dismissed !! I cannot thank her enough.

I hired Nicole to help me with reinstatement of my professional license. I needed someone with experience with Administrative hearings as my original hearing with a criminal defense lawyer didn't go good at all. I found Nicole and she was great, she explained and knew the process and I felt very p...repared of what to expect. I got the best outcome ever! I didn't think it was possible but it happened! I couldn't have gone through it without her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has any type of accusation from the Board of Nursing. My advice after this experience is Don't try to do it alone or with a lawyer that does not have experience.
