Professional license defense is the legal defense of a licensee in disciplinary and licensure matters. A professional license defense attorney defends and advocates for the rights of a professional licensee when their license is being threatened with revocation, suspension, or other disciplinary action due to an allegation of misconduct.
Which professionals may need a license defense attorney?
Any individual who holds a professional, medical, or vocational license from a state licensing board, regulatory agency, or commission in Texas may at some point need a professional license defense attorney.

When is a professional license defense attorney needed?
The services of a professional license defense attorney are needed when a licensee has legal trouble with their licensing board or regulatory agency, is facing a complaint or an investigation, had their license denied, or has any other issue related to their professional license.
- Have you received a notice that a complaint has been filed against you?
- Are you under investigation by your professional licensing board?
- Or, are you afraid you will soon be under investigation?
- Is your license at risk of being revoked, suspended, or put on probation due to a complaint lodged against you?
- Have you received notice of a temporary suspension hearing? Was your license temporarily suspended without notice?
- Has a licensing board denied your application for licensure?
- Has a licensing board denied your renewal application for licensure, or will only issue the renewal if you agree with specified terms set by the board?
- Have you recently been arrested or convicted of a crime and you’re wondering if you should notify your licensing board? Are you worried about how the arrest or conviction will affect your professional license?
