All professional certifications or licenses require their holders to follow specific conduct rules. These rules are meant to protect not only the professional but their patients or clients and the public from physical, emotional, or mental harm. When a professional is accused of violating these rules, there are serious consequences, some of which can have long-term effects on the professional's personal and professional life. For instance, a dentist in North Carolina was recently suspended by the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners after they received evidence that he was impaired while working in his dental office.

If you find yourself accused of violating the specific conduct rules your state board requires, you need a strong defense. Call 888-535-3686 today or schedule a consultation online. The experienced Professional License Defense Team at the Lento Law Firm are here to help.

Professional License Defense

Your professional license is meant to show your community that you have all the requirements to work effectively within your field. It also proves to the community that your skills and experience can be trusted. Thus, when the board in charge of your professional license is considering limiting, restricting, or banning the license in some way, you need to build a defense that prevents the board from taking away your license and keeps your professional reputation intact.

The key to a successful professional license defense lies in the timing. The sooner you begin developing a defense, the better. Unfortunately, waiting will only ensure you suffer damaging consequences to your business, reputation, and personal life. For example, the dentist mentioned above was forced to close his practice while the investigation into the evidence was conducted. As such, he could not see patients, which likely reduced his income, personnel, and livelihood significantly. Moreover, his professional reputation was tarnished, which could prevent patients from returning to the office once it opened back up.
