Facts: VJ hired firm after a complaint was received by BHEC regarding violations of licensee requirements. The complaint stated that VJ submitted fraudulent supervision hours in her application for licensure.

After requesting the evidence from BHEC, the firm provided a response. Within the response the firm argued that her employer, the facility that filed the complaint, was uninformed regarding the requirements for licensure. The firm argued pursuant to the code, what was considered supervisory hours and what were not. The employer provided evidence that misrepresented VJ’s hours and did not account for a certain type of hour. Further, in addition to arguing what was considered supervision hours under the code, we also provided witness statements detailing the hours that VJ’s completed and additional CE certificates showing VJ’s dedication to her practice.

Outcome: After BHEC reviewed the response and corresponding evidence, BHEC dismissed the complaint for lack of evidence.
