Administrative Hearings

Defense against Revocation of Professional Licenses

For licensed professionals, the penalty for criminal conviction may be less severe than the collateral consequences imposed by an administrative disciplinary board. Lawyers, CPAs, teachers, physicians or other professionals can face loss of professional reputation, loss of a license to practice his or her profession and loss of career entirely.
