Frequently Asked Questions on Defending a
Professional License

Below are some FAQS clients have on professional licenses:

Unfortunately, the answer to this is not straightforward because the length of time varies depending on the case’s complexity and the particular board’s caseload. A simple investigation may end in a few months, whereas more complicated ones could take a year or even more.

Although this is a stressful time, it allows us time to do our investigation, collect solid evidence, and make a settlement with the board’s counsel before a formal accusation is presented.

A licensing board may request a judge’s Interim Suspension Order (ISO) in some severe cases. This is a temporary license suspension as the investigation and disciplinary process continues. Boards will usually only want an ISO when they believe that your continued practice is a direct danger to the health and safety of the people. You can appeal to an ISO in a hearing. This is a serious legal issue, and it is necessary to hire an experienced lawyer to defend you at this point so that you are not deprived of your means of earning a living even as your case is pending.

This is a significant issue for every professional, and for a reason. In the first stage of investigation, the complaint is confidential. But when the board chooses to proceed and file a formal accusation, the document becomes typically a public record, which in most cases is posted on the board’s website to be viewed by anyone.

Any disciplinary measure that may be taken against you, such as suspension, probation, or public reprimand, will also be included in your public licensing record. This is why you should build a solid defense at the first instance, to have your case dismissed before it becomes public.

It is not automatic; however, it is a dire situation. Several California licensing boards require you to report criminal convictions, and a substantially related conviction may be the basis of discipline, including revocation.

However, being charged does not mean that you have been convicted. Your criminal case will be affected enormously. Having a license defense attorney collaborate with your criminal defense attorney is essential to ensure that any plea bargain in the criminal case is framed in a way that does the least harm to your professional license.
