If you are concerned about an accusation or investigation you need attorneys with experience managing the process of a professional license defense in San Diego. You don’t want to try to manage this on your own. There is simply too much at stake. Think of all of the time, money, education and work you’ve poured into attaining your professional license and the career you have built. The Watkins Firm aggressively defends professional licenses before California agencies and boards. We will work with you to develop a strategy to manage the process and achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
Managing the process of a professional license defense in San Diego requires an extensive understanding of the agency or board and how they will handle a complaint or accusation. It will begin with an investigation to assess the allegations and accumulate the evidence and associated facts. Once the investigation is completed the agency or board will send you a formal letter containing an accusation or requesting an interview. You will only have a few days to respond and confirm your intention to defend your professional license.
The accusation should include a summary of the charge(s) against you and important information regarding next steps. If you fail to respond the agency or board will usually proceed and move the process forward toward disciplinary action. Our attorneys will seek information regarding the substance of the accusation and any evidence the agency or board may have against you. We will thoroughly investigate this information and develop additional testimony or evidence to mitigate the case case against you or seek an outright dismissal.
There is usually at least one hearing where our attorneys will have a chance to directly address what has happened, provide insight into the actions you have taken and the plan to address the situation and prevent it from ever happening again. Managing the process of a professional license defense in San Diego includes providing insight into your own story, how it has affected you and all the action you have taken as a result. We will often include testimony from fellow professionals regarding your character and the valuable service you provide as a licensed professional.
The discipline in your case could be as simple as a public reprimand or a stipulated settlement, or you may be facing fines or even the suspension or revocation of your license. Managing the process of a professional license defense in San Diego requires legal skill and tactical planning.
