How much do professional license defense lawyer cost in California

Published

Hi,

I would like to ask fellow RN's who got a lawyer to defend them while facing license investigation/ accusation particularly in California. How much do they cost?

My license was discipline in ND. I relocated in SoCal and would like to transfer my probation in California. I started my RN endorsement application. 

I would like to know how much an attorney would cost, just in case I will be needing them. 

TIA

Hi, Thank u for the info. 

I actually had a bad experience with a lawyer. My previous attorney only pushes me to surrender my license to avoid paying fines and once he knew I relocated in Cali, he immediately informs ND BON, thus causing my license in probation eventually to be now suspended, unless I practice RN there. 

Which got me thinking that I should have not hired him in the first place, as he is not my advocate. He is not a healthcare atty though.

I'm glad I didn't surrender my license and continue researching on almost all nursing forums, I told him, I will be in OIG list if I surrender my license, which he have no idea.

Please don't go into specifics here but the organization I referenced will give you a free consultation to explore your options
