Protecting Your Career: Your Trusted Professional License Defense Advocate
Completing an education program and obtaining a professional license involves significant time, money, and planning. The licensure process is rarely straightforward and can involve many moving parts, even more so when the applicant must disclose criminal history, mental health and/or substance abuse treatment, or other potential eligibility issues. After investing substantial resources into a professional career path, it can be extremely frustrating and disheartening when an agency seeks to deny or restrict an applicant’s license for circumstances that may have occurred long ago or have no relation to the profession.
Seeking appropriate legal advice and potential representation from an attorney at Lype, Dest & Smith Lawyers who is well-versed in the licensure process can make the difference in being granted a license or not. Our attorneys have successfully represented hundreds of professionals in eligibility and licensure matters before their respective agencies. We are intimately familiar with the required disclosures, processes, and likely outcomes of any licensing situation, whether typical or atypical. This experience means our attorneys are able to approach and analyze each client’s situation and strategize the best plan of action to achieve the best possible outcome.
