Our Firm Defends Professionals With Licensing At Stake

Criminal defense of licensed professionals is both a delicate and highly consequential endeavor. The outcome of a criminal case can impact the career of a doctor, dentist, nurse, accountant, architect, engineer, lawyer, pilot or transportation professionals or any other licensed professional on many levels, including:

• The criminal matter itself involving whatever court has jurisdiction
• Professional licensing and the corresponding professional licensing board(s)
• Potential media coverage, social media exposure and a reputation at risk

Criminal Matters Involving A Professional Practice

Sometimes the criminal matter involves the professional practice itself, and investigations will occur. This is the case when there are allegations of fraud, embezzlement, misapplication of fiduciary property, money laundering, tax crimes and other white collar crimes

Criminal Matters Occurring In A Professional’s Private Life That May Impact Licensing Or Reputation

In other cases, the criminal matter takes place outside of the context of the professional practice, but a conviction — or even criminal charges before any conviction occurs — can threaten a professional practice. An arrest for fraud, theft or substance abuse offenses for example has professional as well as criminal implications.
