Facts: TR received a complaint from TMB and a notice for ISC. The allegations against TR were submitted to TMB by her former employer. TR was terminated from their employer after they appeared intoxicated during work hours. Witnesses attested to the fact that they saw TR slurring their words after interacting with a patient. TR refused an alcohol test and was asked to leave the facility. Prior to retaining counsel TR provided TMB with several records regarding her prior alcohol addiction/treatment.
Outcome: TR retained counsel after receiving the ISC notice. The firm was able to meet the pending deadline and provided a rebuttal response to the allegations. During the ISC the firm provided argument as to TR’s current sobriety regiment and their past inpatient and outpatient treatments. The firm argued in mitigation of the allegations, provided character evidence and evidence that TR was already in compliance. Based on this the firm argued that TR no longer needed monitoring or disciplinary action by TMB. TMB agreed to dismiss the case and referred TR to a private monitoring program.
