Licensure Defense.
Are you a professional facing investigation by your licensure board or an administrative agency? Has your application for licensure been denied for reasons you do not understand? Are you seeking reinstatement of a suspended license?
I can help. As a nurse attorney, I have extensive experience representing nurses, physicians, podiatrists, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals. Based upon my clinical experience as a nurse, I understand how frightening it is for a professional to face investigation, disciplinary action, or the loss of a license—which could mean the loss of income and a livelihood.
My unique experience as a nurse attorney enables me to understand the nuances of your situation. I know what concerns your licensing board. I identify, investigate, and address those concerns with you before you respond or appear before the board. I then help you tell your story in a way that allows the board to see that discipline may not be needed.
Using that approach, for over 35+ years I’ve succeeded in obtaining a dismissal without discipline, or a negotiated agreement for a specific result for licensure defense clients.
