A CPA license defense lawyer in Texas can help with license reinstatement if your license has expired or been suspended or revoked. However, seeking reinstatement after license revocation can be difficult. It’s best to work with an attorney on a license defense case to prevent revocation in the first place.
Whether you’re facing license revocation or your license has already been suspended or revoked, an attorney can help you. Let’s take a closer look at the reinstatement process and how an experienced lawyer can help you continue practicing in your desired field.
How a CPA License Defense Lawyer Can Get Your License Reinstated
Losing your professional license can prevent you from earning a living and providing for yourself and your family. Fortunately, Texas Occupations Code § 901.507 gives the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) the authority to reinstate your license after suspension or revocation.
That said, the license reinstatement process isn’t easy. You’ll want to work with an experienced attorney to get it back. Here’s what a lawyer can do to get your CPA license reinstated:
- Complete a written application for reinstatement
- Represent you during the hearing process on your application for reinstatement
- Make a compelling case as to why your license should be reinstated
- Guide you through the reinstatement process and answer any questions you have along the way
As you can see, there are many actions a CPA license defense lawyer can take to help with your license reinstatement. Whether you’re dealing with an expired, suspended, or revoked license, you can count on a dedicated Bertolino LLP CPA license defense attorney to work tirelessly to get your license back.
Types of License Suspension and Revocation Cases an Attorney Can Assist with in Connection with License Reinstatement
The TSBPA has many laws and rules that you must follow to avoid investigations that may lead to license suspension or revocation. If you’ve been accused of committing a violation of the TSBPA rules or Texas Law and have lost your license, it’s in your best interest to hire a lawyer who has experience with similar cases.
The CPA license defense lawyer for your reinstatement case should have the experience necessary to seek reinstatement after any of the following violations:
- Failure to meet the standard of care
- Practicing on a suspended license
- Ethics violations
- Gross negligence
- Breach of client confidentiality
- Failure to maintain client files
As a licensed CPA, you could also face license suspension or revocation for criminal convictions. A CPA license defense lawyer can help you get your license reinstated if it’s been suspended or revoked for one of the following reasons:
- Misdemeanor convictions
- Felony convictions
- Deferred adjudications that TSBPA treats as criminal convictions
A CPA License Defense Lawyer Can Help if You’ve Moved to Another State
If you moved from Texas to another state and are now returning, you’ll need to seek reinstatement of your Texas CPA license before you’re able to practice legally in Texas again. Here’s how a CPA license defense lawyer can help you get your license reinstated after moving out of state:
- Complete an Affidavit for Reinstatement of Individual License and submit it to the Board
- Submit a copy of your most recent license from another state to the Texas Board
- Provide effective guidance and advice throughout the process
It’s important to note that your Affidavit for Reinstatement of Individual License must be submitted to the Board no later than 90 days after your license expiration. Working with a skilled attorney can ensure that all necessary paperwork and documents are submitted in a timely manner.
