Nicole Valentine

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.

Nicole Valentine assisted me in acquiring approval from the California Board of Registered Nurses to test for my RN license. When I was much young (15 years ago) I had a few alcohol-related misdemeanors and was worried that I might not be allowed to sit for examination and become a Nurse. I reached o...ut to RN guardian and Nicole was assigned to my case. Throughout the months that Nicole provided me counsel, I found her to be very professional, knowledgeable, and also very prompt with her communications. This was something that was very important to me. Ultimately, I was granted authorization to test from the Board of Registered Nurses. I test this week and am now a Registered Nurse. Thank you, Nicole.

I found out about this Law firm by a R.N. defense firm called R.N. guardian . I retained Nicole Valentine who was the consummate professional and I was facing a deadline for the R.N. board and I needed her wisdom and sage advice.Basically was the last minute of the forth quarter, and she was able to... help me without blinking an eye. Due to my lackluster HMO was completely useless and to no avail. I was giving a "Public Reproval " which is the formal discipline in my matter. Be honest , I work for an extremely oppressive organization that has a poorly run management system and my Nurse Manager at the time was putting the " Horns" to me. I was arrested , on a Misdemeanor charge that nearly cost me my living . I was licensed as an R.N. on 3/91. And this is my only stain on my Nursing career , I am still a L.P.T. since 6/84. If it was not for Nicole I would be going down another "Hole". Thank you Nicole your a career and a life saver. Was worth every cent.Her demeanor is calm, cool and collected and is truly dedicated to saving careers and lives of healthcare workers. Only good things to say about Ms. Valentine and thank you. Sincerely , Jeff Linz.

Nicole Valentine saved my career! I was arrested for a DUI with an accident and the BRN offered me all 19 stipulations with a 3-year probation. I was very skeptical about going to trial. I was afraid I would spend money and time end up with the same outcome. Nicole was always positive and made going ...to trail an easy decision, my case was dismissed by the judge and the BRN adopted the decision. Nicole is an excellent Lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable about the BRN. I can't thank her enough.
