Santa Cruz License Attorney comprises a team of highly trained, experienced, and dedicated license attorneys. We pride ourselves on our vast knowledge of legal requirements and guidelines subjected to licensed professionals in California. Thus, we can guide you through all legal processes about applying for or defending a license on the verge of suspension or revocation. Our service to licensed professionals ensures you enjoy working in a career you have worked hard to build.

We understand how hard you work and how much you pay to acquire skills and, subsequently, a professional license. We also understand your challenges, particularly allegations and complaints to your licensing board. We work closely with you to ensure you do not lose it all, whether you have made an honest mistake, overlooked some guidelines, or faced false allegations. When the licensing board starts investigating you, you must prepare to fight your allegations for case dismissal or a favorable outcome. We can work with you to build a compelling defense that will result in the best possible outcome for your situation.

Our Services at a Glance

We offer a wide range of services at Santa Cruz License Attorney, depending on the legal issue you face, your needs, and your expectations. Here are examples of services you can expect from us:

Offering Legal Advice

We are a team of highly trained and experienced licensed attorneys who can offer sound advice in various areas. For example, you can talk to us if you face criminal charges and fear they will affect your professional license. We will help you understand the legal implications of those charges and different ways to beat the charges to protect your career and reputation.

If someone has reported you to your licensing board, we advise you to allow an attorney to represent you instead of handling the matter alone. Speaking to the board without an attorney present could further compromise your situation.

Offering Legal Representation

We also offer legal representation to our clients regardless of the gravity of the charges or allegations they face. When your licensing board initiates an investigation against your professional misconduct, it appoints administrative judges to hear the case and give a verdict. You could incriminate yourself and worsen your situation if you appear before the judges alone. However, a skilled attorney will know the best strategies, defenses, evidence, and statements to obtain a favorable outcome.

Fighting Charges

The board will act against you when you're accused of professional misconduct. If the allegations are severe, the board can take stern action against you, including suspending or revoking your license. We fight charges on our client’s behalf to compel the administrative judges to dismiss the case or rule favorably. Instead of a revocation, we can compel the board to suspend your license. Instead of license suspension, we can negotiate for probation.

Why Choose Us

Extensive Experience with Licensing Boards

I have successfully represented clients before California licensing boards and agencies, regarding various disciplinary accusations as well as criminal arrests and convictions. I have in depth knowledge of the culture of each licensing agency, and of the intricacies involved in all administrative law proceedings.

Focused on Protecting Your Career

Your license is your livelihood, reputation, and professional and social standing. I specialize in defending professionals against complaints, investigations, and disciplinary actions to help safeguard the careers that they have worked hard to build.

Personalized and Strategic Defense

Every case is different. Rather than a "one-size-fits-all"approach, I provide a tailored strategy for each case, ensuring that your defense is customized to the particular circumstances of your case.

Proven Track Record of Success

I've helped professionals in healthcare, real estate, medicine, and other fields avoid license suspension and revocation, minimize penalties, and, in many cases, get complaints dismissed altogether.

Dedicated Advocacy and Support

From the moment you contact me, I am committed to guiding you step-by-step, keeping you informed, and fighting tirelessly for the best possible resolution.

A skilled trial lawyer by training

I have extensive experience trying cases before judges and jurors. Though administrative law cases do not involve juries, my skills as a courtroom trial lawyer--e.g., my ability to effectively cross examine, dismantle the government's case, and present a compelling defense--are extremely integral to zealously advocating for you at any administrative law hearing before an administrative law judge.

An experienced criminal defense and professional license defense attorney

Criminal arrests or convictions trigger an investigation of your license by the licensing board, often resulting in disciplinary action against your license. The ideal lawyer in such cases is a lawyer who is versatile in both criminal defense and professional licensing defense. I am both a criminal defense attorney and a licensing defense attorney. As such, I have extensive knowledge and experience in both areas. Therefore, if your license is being disciplined by the licensing agency due to a criminal conviction, I will know how to properly contextualize your conviction for purposes of protecting your license. Furthermore, if you are facing an open criminal case and need the counsel of both a criminal defense and professional license defense attorney, you need not hire two separate lawyers, as I can handle both the open criminal case and any disciplinary action by the licensing agency with the ultimate goal of protecting your license.

Zealous advocacy at affordable rates

Though I subscribe to the common knowledge that "cheap lawyers are not good and good lawyers are not cheap," I do not believe that zealous representation means inflated or exaggerated rates. I provide zealous advocacy at fair, reasonable, and affordable rates.

About Us

Answering Your Questions and Clearing Your Doubts

It is difficult to tell precisely what to expect after someone complains to the board about you. The confusion can create a lot of anxiety and stress. It could also affect your ability to serve your clients satisfactorily. We are here to answer any questions and clear any doubts you have.

For example, if you wonder how long the investigation will last, we can approximate the time for you, depending on the gravity of your charges and the evidence against you. We can also help you understand the board's different disciplinary actions against professionals found guilty of misconduct.

Take Advantage of Our Round-The-Clock Service

We make it easier for you to contact us immediately after you face an issue with your licensing board to strategize and act in good time.
