Facts: Our client, MHB, hired us to defend her against a complaint filed with her regulator alleging she had engaged in unlicensed activity as a nurse. She faced damage to her professional reputation, potential disciplinary action from the Board and a negative impact on her livelihood all due to the false complaint allegations believed to be filed by a disgruntled former employee.
Outcome: The Firm collected and evaluated the documentation needed to fight back against the illegitimate allegations, and advocated on the client’s behalf to demonstrate to the assigned investigator that the complaint had no merit. We demonstrated to the investigator why the client had not violated the law and why the complaint needed to be immediately dismissed without further Board action. After the Board completed the investigation, the investigator agreed the matter lacked any merit, and needed to be dismissed. The client’s complaint was dismissed, and the Board took no action against her license, leaving her professional reputation and livelihood intact so she could continue doing the job she loved.
