Hi,
I am a wife, desperate in helping my husband. My husband is a RN and he hold 5 other States Licenses. Unfortunately, I just found about your services last week. My husband didn’t know about this services and he doesn’t know I am writing to your Company to ask for help. Fortunately, I found RN Guardian and I hope you can help us. My husband is being accused unfairly, without evidences, in in a criminal and an administrative case. We could not believe that the DA took the case “beyond reasonable doubt”. The DA took the case because the CA Boarding of Nursing “investigator” knew him. With a lot of real criminals up there, the State of California is wasting time in punish dedicated RN’s. The CA Boarding of Nursing is not waiting for the criminal case be resolved and filled a disciplinary action against his license at the same time. We spent thousands of thousands of dollars with the criminal case, which has been just about “reasonable doubt” and is not over yet. The money gone and probably the next step is getting a “public defender” (what is not good). It has been very difficult, stressed and sad situation for us. Especially for a health care professional so dedicated like him. I am sure you heard this before. Anyway, I am just writing to verify if we can join the guardian and if you could be able to help him. He is scheduled a hearing at CA Boarding of Nursing for July. He want to go and defend himself because we cannot afford a lawyer. It is unbelievable how California is acting against the nurses. Please, could you advice me in what to do? It is his life in the game. I was laid off from
my work and he is supporting the family. This is a case for the News and TV. I am dedicating myself in helping him who is a very important person in my life. He lost all hopes already but I didn’t. I will not give up and I want to fight until the end.
Please, Help me or give me some advices in how to proceed from now! I appreciate your attention and consideration,
Sincerely,
Simone

Simone,
We would be happy to help you and our RN Guardian attorneys will be able to represent your husband. We will not be able to extend you the benefits of RN Guardian membership for an incident that pre-dates your joining of course, but as an RN Guardian member, you would have access to our RN Guardian Attorneys at reduced hourly rate of 175.00 per hour. We would require an upfront retainer of between $3000.00 and $5000.00 dollars, which would be determined by the attorney based upon the complexity of your husband’s case. If you are interested in having the expert attorneys of RNG represent you, please join RN Guardian via the website and sign up for a year of membership. Following your membership, I will send you a plan contract and have the RNG attorney call you to discuss your case. At that time a retainer will be established, the Firm would send you a legal retainer agreement and once we have received the signed document as well as the retainer we could begin representing you with the BRN. I should offer this comfort: RN Guardian attorneys have a 100% success rate when it comes to license retention; none of our members have ever had to surrender their license nor have they had their license revoked. Please feel free to call me directly at the Firm, should you wish to discuss this in further detail at (916)851-1900.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your reply. I do understand the attorney will cost money. My husband is dealing with the criminal case (which was forward through the CA Boarding Investigator) and I was laid off of my job. Just my husband income is not enough. I do understand you want upfront money. Unfortunately, we do not have this money in front. He will have to go and represent himself. I wish I could found you guys earlier. We have been very depressed with the situation. We are selling everything we have to pay for the criminal lawyer. We could not believe the DA took the case and filled criminally. It is unfair and sad that the CA State is punishing so hard the Nurses. We moved from CA and my husband is making 40% less money than in CA.
I want to thank you so much for your words. At the same time I was sad because I know without money we cannot afford a good defense for him. He may lose his license and everything else. I wish I could find some lawyer who could provide some community services. My husband is a father and an excellent professional. Please, if you have any other suggestion I will appreciate your advice. I wish you the best!

Oh Simone,
I am so sorry for your position and I wish that there was more that we could do. I do not know of any other organization like RN Guardian, nor do I know of other attorneys that specialize in license defense and who would be willing to take your case pro-bono or contingency.
I can tell you that more than likely, if your husband is not convicted there will not be an issue with his losing his license. Even if he is convicted, there is still a chance that his license would be safe. Your best option at this time would be to speak to the attorney who is handling the criminal side of your case. Often times, there can be an agreement “built in” to the criminal case that addresses other issues such as this instance with your husband and his RN license.
I wish you the best of luck,
Jennifer Coalson-Perez

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much. The criminal lawyer says to us that is not common see cases against RN in the court. Especially in my husband’s case that is circumstantial and they do not have evidence of the accusation. The lawyer says he doesn’t know why the DA took the case because CA courts are overloaded with real and dangerous criminals. All was built up through the CA RN Board investigator.
I guess we just have to pray. I am so sad but nothing we can do. It is all about money. If you don’t have it you are pretty much punished in US.
I am absolutely sure your organization is the best to help nurses but I found it too late. Thank you anyway. I will promote your site through nurses who I know.
Best Regards,
Simone
