If a complaint has been filed against you with a Texas licensing board or regulatory agency, you need to consult with a Texas license defense attorney. When your professional license is in jeopardy due to allegations of misconduct, your career, livelihood, and reputation are at stake.
What to Expect When You Hire a Professional Licensing Defense Attorney
When you hire a professional license defense attorney, you can expect to have an advocate on your side. You do not have to face licensing board allegations of misconduct alone – and you shouldn’t. Our Firm believes that immediately consulting an experienced license defense attorney to review allegations of misconduct helps ensure the most favorable outcome in your case.
What to expect from your professional licensing defense attorney:
- Help navigating the complaint process.
- Legal analysis on the merits of the case against you and information on the possible disciplinary actions that the Board may legally take.
- Crafting of a legal strategy to defend against the accusations made against you.
- Representation at all stages of the complaint process: including the initial stages when first responding to the complaint, through negotiations and settlement conferences, and when necessary at the SOAH Hearing.
- A written attorney-client contract and fee agreement, which should clearly lay out the scope of legal services that will be provided and the costs of those services.
When it comes to defending against attacks from a state licensing board, an attorney with a background in license defense and administrative law is likely best equipped to defend you. Further, it is highly advantageous to hire a professional licensing defense attorney who has successful experience with your specific licensing board- as well as its rules and procedures. Every licensing board operates slightly different, and experience matters. Make sure you have a skilled attorney on your side, fighting for your rights.
