The Nurse Attorney Victories

On December 16, 2024, the Administrative Law Judge issued a Recommended Order of Dismissal and directed the Board of Nursing to DISMISS the Administrative Complaint it had filed against the nurse.

- Nurse-Attorney Marjorie Chalfant was the first and only attorney in the State of Florida to obtain a precedential ruling on Orders Compelling Compulsory Examinations. For many years, the Board of Nursing and Department of Health have been violating the law by disciplining nurses for not undergoing these examinations, rather than following the law by filing a Petition for Enforcement.

I would recommend her to anyone needing a good, dedicated attorney
I would recommend Marjorie to anyone needing a good, dedicated attorney. The fact that she is also a nurse overwhelms me. She has to earn CEUs in order to keep her license current. This is a woman who is dedicated to what she does. She won’t take a case she doesn’t think she can win.

Marjorie is the BEST!
My experience with Ms. Marjorie Chalfant in reference to our medical malpractice case is phenomenal, a very complex and highly challenging case that was turned down by several lawyers from the start. Nobody wants to handle/accept this case since it requires a lot of resources and extensive studying, some says its an uphill climb.
