We represent professionals from a wide range of fields. If you are licensed and subject to oversight by a board of any type, we can assist you. We will work closely with you to review the accusations and develop a legal strategy designed to minimize the impact on your career.

If you are a professional who faces criminal charges, you may also face a disciplinary hearing. It is important to have a complete understanding of how the outcome of a criminal matter can impact a professional disciplinary hearing.
