Every year, hundreds of thousands of licensed professionals – nurses, doctors, therapists, teachers, and more – receive complaints from their licensing boards. For most, the experience is terrifying, isolating, and expensive. Many cannot afford the thousands of dollars attorneys charge for representation, yet responding inappropriately to a board complaint can jeopardize their entire career. BoardWise was created to fill this critical gap: offering licensed professionals an affordable, accessible digital platform to understand and respond to complaints clearly, confidently, and professionally.
Founded by Matthew Bady, a Registered Nurse who personally navigated a board complaint process, BoardWise is built from lived experience. After witnessing the stress, confusion, and financial burden that board investigations place on hardworking professionals, Matt developed a platform that he wished had existed during his own experience. Describing BoardWise as “the TurboTax of Professional License Defense,” the company provides a guided, step-by-step process that helps professionals organize their case, draft professional responses, and protect their licenses – all at a fraction of the cost of traditional legal representation.
