If you have been notified of allegations of professional misconduct filed against you, understand that your license could be at risk of suspension or revocation. Your career and livelihood are at stake. As soon as you are notified that a complaint has been filed against you, contact a professional license defense attorney immediately.
Defending Your Professional License in Texas: What You Need to Know
First, you have the right to an attorney when your professional license is under attack. Understand that the longer you wait to take legal action, the harder it may be to get the results you need. Also, appealing an unfavorable ruling is far more difficult and can be costlier than properly defending allegations in the first place.
Second, understand that the licensing board is not on your side. Do not mistakenly believe that you can talk your way out of a complaint. Any information you provide can be used as evidence against you. It is in your best interest to have an attorney represent you throughout the complaint process, and during any communication you have with the licensing board.
Third, take any complaint seriously. Even if you believe the complaint to be baseless or unfounded, it is critical that you face it head-on. Do not ignore a complaint until a deadline nears, and do not wait until the final hours to hire counsel to protect your rights.
Finally, depending on the licensing board, the allegations made, and the available evidence, you may be given an opportunity to accept a proposal for sanctions. At this pivotal stage, the advice of an experienced professional license defense attorney will be invaluable. You attorney will be your advocate, and will help you make wise choices.
