Facts: Our client, RB, hired us to help him disclose his felony criminal conviction history to the Board and protect him against potential disciplinary action stemming from the conviction and his failure to timely disclose the convictions.
Outcome: The firm gathered the necessary documentation and prepared a strong written response demonstrating why the criminal conviction history did not relate to his licensed activity and how the client’s failure to report the matter timely did not warrant any sort of disciplinary action. After the Board completed their investigation, they agreed the matter did not relate to the client’s licensed occupation and that no disciplinary action was appropriate. The client was given a non-disciplinary advisory letter reminding him of his ongoing obligation to disclose future legal matters and the Board took no action against his license.
