In California, healthcare professionals are generally required to be licensed by the appropriate state licensing agency. These boards are charged with issuing licenses to healthcare professionals and upholding the standards of the profession. To do so, they investigate complaints, allegations of criminal conduct, and other potential violations.
As a healthcare professional, you have worked hard to obtain an education and secure the necessary credentials to practice in your field. If your licensure is in jeopardy for any reason, it is critical that you take steps to protect your career and reputation. Being proactive can make the difference, and may allow you to shield yourself from board disciplinary action.

We handle a range of licensure matters, from professional misconduct allegations to denials of a professional license to petitions for reinstatement.
