Your nursing license is your livelihood.
If you’re facing an investigation or disciplinary action from the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN), it can feel like your entire career is on the line.
You don’t have to face this alone.
At Brown Law Office, we help nurses across California protect their licenses, defend their reputations, and move forward with confidence. Whether you’re dealing with a complaint, investigation, accusation, or formal hearing, our legal team understands what’s at stake—and we’re here to help.
We Represent Nurses Throughout California
We understand the unique challenges nurses face in California. With strict regulations and mandatory reporting laws, even a single mistake, misunderstanding, or false allegation can trigger an investigation by the BRN.
Our firm represents all types of California nurses, including:
- Registered Nurses (RNs)
- Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs)
- Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
- Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs)
- Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)
- Public Health Nurses (PHNs)

Whether you’re newly licensed or a seasoned professional, a licensing complaint can put your career at risk. We’re here to help you protect it.
Experienced Representation Before the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN)
The BRN has the power to investigate, discipline, suspend, or even revoke your license. If you’ve received notice of a complaint, an investigation, or an Accusation, it’s critical to take action early.
We help with all stages of the disciplinary process, including:
- Responding to a BRN complaint or investigation
- Crafting written statements and declarations
- Attending investigative interviews and settlement conferences
- Representing you at hearings before an Administrative Law Judge
- Petitioning for reinstatement of a revoked or surrendered license
- Defending against criminal convictions and DUIs
- Addressing accusations of substance use, patient harm, or unprofessional conduct
You only get one license. Our goal is to help you keep it.
