I had the privilege of hiring Atty Nicole to craft a collateral consequence letter for my medical license. She collaborated seamlessly with my defense attorney, producing a powerful and compelling letter that played a crucial role in securing a case dismissal offer.
I am deeply grateful for her unwavering support and expert guidance throughout this process. Thanks to her efforts, I can now reclaim my life and focus on what truly matters: caring for my family and my patients. Atty Nicole, your dedication has made a profound difference in my life. May the universe always bless you for the incredible work you do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Nicole Valentine was incredible and an angel to me during one of the worst years of my life. I have been an RN for 18 years and was worried about losing my nursing license due to a high BAC DUI and collision. I felt terrible about what happened and Nicole counseled me through and represented me. She was essential in helping me with knowing what to do and working with the BRN. She was very honest throughout it all so I knew what to expect. It is a miracle that the BRN settled for a public reproval (instead of probation)..I am able to stay at the same hospital that I have been working at for so long and this did not change my working conditions at all. I have learned my lesson and made many changes in my life because of this incident but could not have done it without Nicole. She is simply the best!

Ms. Valentine was exceptional from the beginning of our relationship…. She fully understood the pertinent issues and was able to create a letter that described my situation to the Dental Board in a positive light….. I was incredibly worried about the charges and accusations against me and I have no doubt that her excellence minimized the penalties against me and led to a rather positive outcome…. I would never hesitate to have Ms. Valentine help me with any future issues…. I feel like I can trust her expertise and values and receive the best possible outcome….. she was great…..!… Sincerely, Dr. Nathan Brott.

I wish I came to Nicole sooner. She got a favorable resolution on my behalf. I had little hope things could work out for me but Nicole made it happen.

**Review for Nicole Valentine**
Today, I received life-changing news from Nicole Valentine and her law firm that lifted an enormous weight off my shoulders. I was falsely accused of something that had nothing to do with patient care or harming anyone. To fund my nursing education, I started my own business, and a competitor fabricated lies about me. In retaliation for addressing the issue legally, this competitor reported me to the BVNPT.
Before retaining Nicole, I had another attorney who swindled me out of $7,500, provided wrong advice to surrender my license, and failed to inform me about the Medi-Cal exclusion list. Receiving that Medi-Cal letter broke my heart and shook me to my core, marking a very trying period in my life. When Nicole came into my life, we discovered that my previous attorney had done nothing to defend me or work in my favor; he was simply trying to extract money from me and close my case quickly without giving me proper options.
Although this revelation was devastating, I had complete faith in Nicole and her team. Nicole Valentine is an exceptional attorney who does everything in her power to protect you, your license, and your livelihood. For every question and scenario I presented, she always had an answer and provided much-needed reassurance. She was a compassionate listener, understanding my situation fully. Her assistant, Vanessa, was equally incredible at communication, making the process seamless.
I recently received the news that I was removed from the Medi-Cal exclusion list. I am deeply grateful to Nicole and her team for their relentless and aggressive efforts to defend me and restore my life. Despite the lengthy process, they never left my side. Nicole is a gem, and her approach as an attorney is unparalleled. I highly recommend Nicole Valentine and her exceptional law firm.
My children and I are eternally grateful and will never forget how much she has helped us. If you need an attorney who will stand by you and do whatever it takes to help, Nicole Valentine should be your only choice.
Nicole and Vanessa, I cannot thank you enough.

This firm is amazing! They were so quick to help me with my situation. I was in distress trying to get my case dismissed and they did that for me! Communication was excellent. Nicole Valentine, Jennifer and Marissa were all so helpful and resolved my case with ease. They were always there to answer my questions and comfort me during this tough time. Nicole was very professional and knew the right steps to take to handle my case. I am grateful that she helped me get my DUI expunged and now I can finally breathe. If you want help with your nursing or medical license, I HIGHLY recommend this firm. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I can’t say enough about Nicole and her team! From the very beginning of this horrendous experience, Nicole helped set me at ease with her expert counsel, immense experience, straight talk, and humanistic caring. She guided me with my options and played out all of the scenarios for me. She gave solid advice on best course of action and told me everything I should have done beforehand to give us the best possible chance at minimizing impact. She dealt directly with the BRN and DOJ, taking a huge weight off of our family. Even her assistant was stellar, on top of communication, and was quick to respond. What an excellent team!
She was able to secure a public reproval and expungement for the wet reckless case despite the BRN wanting probation. This would have forced me to undergo strict monitoring, restrict my schedule, and limit my ability to promote within my nursing career. It would have also made family life extremely difficult as the primary earner.
Nicole was able to save not only my career, but my ability to provide for my family, as well as my ability to continue to help heal and serve our community. I simply couldn’t breathe if I couldn’t be a nurse! It is who I am to the core, I believe Nicole saw that, and worked diligently to ensure I could continue to fulfill my life’s purpose despite a terrible mistake and choice I made. Thank you so much Nicole and team for caring about my family and I and literally saving our lives! We will forever be indebted to you and eternally grateful!

Going through an accusation on your license is possibly the most stressful thing that can happen in your career. It almost killed mine. But I know for a fact I would not have gotten through it without the support and professional assistance of Nicole Valentine. Nicole went above and beyond for me, learning the delicacies and language of my specialty; a very arduous task, indeed.
The documents Nicole provided in my defense were top notch, and I can honestly say if I had not had Nicole as my lawyer I would not still be a practicing nurse today, because this entire process would have driven me to quit. But she stood by me and defended me, and she made it possible for me to continue to be the best nurse I can be for my patients. I hate that nurses are dragged through the mud often to placate systems or physicians, but if the system gets you and you need support, don’t think twice. Hire Nicole Valentine.

Just wow!!! Nicole Valentine is truly GOD sent! I was convicted of a DUI with .15 alcohol blood test. I was unable to get it pled down to wet and reckless due to living in a state that's strict on DUIs, but she assisted in writing a letter to the California Board of Nursing and I followed the things she recommended. After a few months, I received a citation from the board with no fee which means no discipline on my registered nursing license. I can finally breathe. Please hire her and just do what she asks !!!!!! I'm still in shock. Thank you so much, Nicole I've never met you but thank you for not judging me because of the mistake I made you deserve the world you will continue to be blessed and I hope you continue to be a blessing to others.

I hired Ms. Valentine to represent me concerning a situation that involved the Board of Registered Nursing. From the very start, Nicole was upfront and honest with me on what the outcome could be. She was very clear with me what she wanted me to do and what steps she would take to provide the best legal representation on my behalf. Because of Nicole's hard work in my case, the outcome was quite favorable. I would highly recommend Nicole Valentine to ANYONE seeking legal representation.
