Nicole Valentine

Calling Nicole Valentine was the smartest thing I could have done. Being a new grad with past convictions, I knew I would have numerous hoops to jump through in order to receive my license. Nicole walked me through the whole process and explained all possible outcomes. I followed her directions to a ...tee. It took time, but I received my Interim permit and ATT. I’m so greatful. Time to schedule N-CLEX.

I am a nurse who got into deep legal trouble that not only threatened my license but also my freedom. I have never been more scared than I was the day I got a voicemail from a detective from the LA Sheriff’s Department. I knew why he was calling. I had already retained Nicole for the issues I woul...d be having with the BRN. I was a basket case and called her immediately. Nicole was honest with the possible outcomes but also explained to me things she could do to help improve the situation. I had multiple felony counts related to narcotics. Jail, if not prison, was potentially part of the equation. To make a long story short, in less than 6 months, I was being offered the sweetest diversion deal ever...no drug testing, no probation-only community service and a continuation of the treatment I was already receiving. I am a mother of 4. The idea of incarceration was very far off my ability accept. Nicole handled my case with not only with expertise but also with the best “bedside manner” a client could ever dream of. She held my hand through it all in the most compassionate nonjudgmental way. 6 months later I feel like I have my life back. I’m feeling stronger and better than ever and Nicole Valentine played no small part in that. I can not give her higher recommendations. I will truly forever be grateful to her.

In March of 2017 I was driving home from San Francisco and was pulled over for speeding; As soon as I saw those lights in my rear view I knew I was in trouble, as I had been drinking. I was arrested, booked, and charged with a DUi; the entire time I was there all I could think about was how my life ...would change if I wasn't a nurse anymore. When I was released and picked up by my best friend (also a RN), she told me she had been researching all night, and found RN Guardian (RNG)! It was my priority to have a lawyer who understood how important it was to protect my RN license above all else. I spent the majority of the next day talking with Jennifer at RNG and crying. As soon as I was put in contact with Nicole (within 2 days), I immediately felt at ease. She helped me every step of the way and was always very very honest and realistic with me. March-Sept was the most stressful time of my entire life. I have never been in trouble for more than a speeding ticket! Never even had a detention growing up! Navigating the legal system would have been unrealistic for me, and I'm so lucky that I had Nicole and RNG on my side. I found out in September whilestanding on the curb at LAX with my best friend, (who has been with me since the lights started flashing), that I received a Cite and Fine from the BRN. I can tell you that we were jumping up and down and crying, and definitely making a scene! Without Nicole fighting for me and getting my DUI reduced to a Wet and Reckless (in a VERY strict jurisdiction), I honestly don't know where I would be. I cannot thank her enough for protecting my license and my sanity. Thank you Nicole and RNG!

I don't even know where to begin. Hiring Nicole was the best decision I ever made. Not only was she able to have my DUI reduced to a wet & reckless...she was able to save my paramedic license! Nicole made this hell-ish situation manageable. She worked hard, and was always available via phone and ...email. This is my first (and last) incident and she did an amazing job guiding me thru the entire process...from court, to DMV, to state EMSA. I definitely would not of survived this whole ordeal without her. If anyone is needing a knowledgeable and hardworking lawyer who get things done Nicole is your one! She was also reasonable priced and sooooooo easy to work with. I seriously can't thank her enough!!!

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!!!!
