California Alcohol and Substance Abuse Lawyers Representing California Professionals
[vc_column_text]
Alcoholism, substance abuse and other chemical addiction issues are common causes of disciplinary actions against professionals across the State of California. No effect on the professional’s job performance is necessary for a Medical Board or licensing agency to require the professional to take certain steps to protect or keep his or her license.
The majority of our clients have never faced Board discipline. Most are good people and solid professionals who suffer from health challenges and/or chemical dependency. We have helped many professionals with alcohol and drug issues with their licensing Boards. We want to be there to help you through this.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
Mental Illness
