Professional license defense

A single complaint or investigation can lead to suspension, revocation, or other severe penalties. Without the right defense, you risk losing not only your license but also your reputation, income, and future career opportunities.

The attorneys at Sandage Law know administrative law and how to represent you during an inquiry or board hearing. We’ll work closely with you to develop a strategy that protects your license and ensures that you’re treated fairly throughout the process.

‍Common professions we defend

Sandage Law represents a wide range of professionals who hold licenses in their respective fields. These include:

‍Doctors and Healthcare Professionals: We defend against claims of medical malpractice, unethical behavior, or violations of medical board regulations that could result in suspension or revocation of a medical license.

‍Lawyers: Facing ethical violations or misconduct allegations can lead to disbarment. We provide defense strategies to protect your legal license and career.

Accountants (CPAs): Fraud accusations, accounting misconduct, or negligence can jeopardize your CPA license. We help you throughout investigations by the board of accountancy and defend your professional standing.

‍Other Licensed Professionals: We also represent engineers, architects, financial advisors, and other professionals facing disciplinary actions or criminal investigations.

‍Types of issues leading to license defense

Professionals may face a range of allegations that can jeopardize their licenses and careers. Common issues include ethical violations, where accusations of breaching professional codes of conduct can trigger investigations by licensing boards. 

Criminal charges, even those unrelated to your profession, can also lead to license suspension or revocation. Malpractice claims, involving accusations of professional negligence, often result in disciplinary actions or lawsuits that threaten your ability to continue practicing. Substance abuse issues may prompt inquiries into your fitness to hold a license, and allegations of fraud or misrepresentation can result in severe penalties, including the loss of your professional license.

‍Potential consequences of not having legal representation

Without skilled legal representation, you face serious consequences. Losing your license could halt your career and lead to financial hardship.
