Facts: Our client, JB, hired us to help him disclose his criminal history to the Board and protect him against potential disciplinary action stemming from those criminal matters and his failure to timely disclose them.
Outcome: The firm gathered the client’s criminal history records and drafted a response explaining to the Board staff why the criminal history did not warrant any Board action and arguing that the client did not have an obligation to report the matters. After the Board completed their investigation, they agreed the matter did not relate to the client’s licensed occupation and that no action was necessary. The Board closed the matter and gave the JB a non-disciplinary advisory letter reminding him of his ongoing obligation to disclose future legal matters.
