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, I have successfully defended every one of my licensure defense clients over a span of 25+ years, obtaining either a dismissal without discipline, or a negotiated agreement for a specific result.
