Nicole Valentine

I am a new grad RN and just obtained my nursing license around May last year. It was a very fulfilling time for me, I had a a lot to celebrate... until I celebrated a little too hard one night and got my first DUI just weeks after I passed my NCLEX exam. My world turned upside down and I had no idea ...how to handle it or get through it because I had never been involved with the law before until I came across RN Guardian and Nicole Valentine as one of their top lawyers to defend nursing licenses. I was referred to a DUI lawyer at first and miraculously got a reduced charge to “wet and wreck less”. After that was over Nicole Valentine helped me with my disclosure to the BRN. She walked me through the whole process and gave me clear instructions on submitting specific documents to her to successfully complete my disclosure. She had her colleagues reach out to me if she wasn’t in the office and made sure I had all my questions answered. Ms. Valentine and her team gave me a peace of mind knowing that this one mistake would not ultimately damage my career. She worked hard and reassured me that my case would be handled with care and that she would try her best to obtain the best outcome possible for my case, and that she did! I got a letter from the BRN just weeks after my final disclosure was submitted with my final outcome being a citation. No disciplinary action was taken against my nursing license. After almost a year dealing with my case, it has finally closed and I have RN Guardian and Nicole Valentine to thank for that. I would not have gotten through this stressful time without Nicole Valentine and her team. Thank you so much for lifting a HUGE weight off my shoulders! I’ll forever be grateful for your services.

With a DUI, as an RN in CA, the BRN can be a nightmare. Those people are not RN friends, as a matter a fact, they will try to trick you to enroll to a "Diversion Program" which is designed to ruin you, or just flat out ruin your career. BRN will make sure that you will fail and will never work as a n...urse again. Nicole has guide me through the process and provide me with laundry list of documents that needed and helped me with my personal statement. The whole nightmare ends up with a fine and citation which doesn't go public. Bravo, Nicole! I wish I hired you first when I got my DUI because my previous lawyer pretty much screwed me up, especially because you understand the impact of DUI to a nursing career (which my DUI lawyer did not know crap) Don't go facing the BRN alone. you will fail miserably, because of all the pitfalls designed to trap you! Nicole is the one that advised me to ignore the BRN's "Diversion Program" trick, and golly, was she right! With Nicole on your side, your chance of saving your license is improved by 200%!

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 helped me save my professional license after I received a dui. I blew 0.23 and with the letter she wrote for me, my attorney was able to get the charges reduced to a wet and reckless which saved my career. She is a miracle worker. I highly recommend hiring Nicole. She gets back to you right aw...ay, keeps you in the loop, is professional, courteous and is an expert in her field. You won't regret it.
