Sacramento License Attorney

According to California PC 23, the agency that granted your professional license can show up in court to present evidence against you if you are accused of a crime. Often, these accusations are drug- or alcohol-related. The allegations can include an issue or misconduct and must directly influence your capacity to practice your occupation. The presiding judge could direct the agency to attend court proceedings to table evidence.

PC 23 often has members of state licensing authorities appear in court to suggest courses of action. The recommendations can include license revocation, suspension, or other disciplinary actions. The licensing agency can also advise linking these acts to issuing bail or probation.

Having an expert license defense attorney on your side is vital before and during the PC 23 hearing. We understand how to mitigate the evidence presented by the licensing body under PC 23. Our attorneys understand how to negotiate to safeguard your license and future. We can request the court include rehab and substance abuse treatment in our probation plea where appropriate.

When you receive a formal accusation notice, panicking and feeling confused is normal. After all, an accusation could result in professional discipline or the termination of your professional license. You should not delay in contacting us for assistance. Unless you take action before the " time limit" that applies to your license expires, you can lose your right to fight against the formal accusation.

A formal allegation states that you broke the law in some way related to your occupation. The accusation can be submitted after being convicted of an offense or another criminal case. Our skilled legal team at Sacramento License Attorney will file a Notice of Defense, obtaining access to the information used against you. We will devise the best approach to preserving your professional license.

Our attorneys will determine the best defense option for you. We will do our best to prove that the case against you is weak and negotiate to dismiss it. Other options include negotiating a favorable settlement, attending the administrative hearing, and fighting for an acquittal.

At the administrative hearing, we will use our knowledge of how evidence is assessed and conclusions are drawn. We have numerous years of experience effectively arguing for the defense in administrative proceedings. We know how to identify flaws in the case against you and uncover persuasive evidence in your favor.

A state agency can give you a citation and impose a fee for allegedly failing to adhere to the law. It can be tempting to disregard the citation since your professional license is still secure. However, the truth is that citations remain on your permanent record and can even form the basis for later proceedings filed against you. Contact the Sacramento License Attorney, and we will work promptly to prevent or delete citations from your record.

A state licensing agency can refuse to grant you a professional license, ignore your license request, revoke your license, or initiate disciplinary action against you. We can help appeal the agency's decision. 

To file an appeal, you must file writs of mandamus and other complex paperwork in the exact form prescribed by law. You must submit the documents within a specific time frame after the decision you seek to appeal. It would be challenging for a novice to complete this task, but we at Sacramento Licence Attorney can do it precisely and efficiently.

Another area of our experience is opposing petitions for interim suspension orders, abbreviated as ISOs. An ISO could be granted while agency investigations or criminal prosecutions in California courts are processed. However, it is generally possible to have these interim suspensions lifted. The lifting of an ISO will allow you to continue practicing uninterrupted. Our attorney later strives to prevent a license revocation during the administrative hearing. 

We can also help you avoid or overcome denials of a new professional license application or the renewal of an existing one. Sometimes, we can resolve the problem by acquiring more comprehensive information. This information will confirm that you are qualified for the license or resolve any technical issues that could be preventing the processing of your license. 

If you have lost your professional license following an administrative action, we can help you reinstate it. Alternatively, we could file an appeal to have the disciplinary action against you adjusted to reduce the penalty. Both requests for penalty reductions and license reinstatement have very stringent deadlines, so act promptly.

However, losing your license is not final. It is generally easy to reinstate a professional license. You only need to know how to file the proper documentation on time and deal with any legal issues that could arise during the procedure. We understand how these situations work and can have your license reinstated legally.
