"As a nurse attorney with twelve years of clinical practice and over fifteen years of risk management experience, I know what's at stake with a disciplinary action by a state licensing board. I began disciplinary defense work in 2015 after observing nurses and other health care professionals being reported to state licensing boards maliciously or for adverse events beyond their control, and seeing punishments that were out of proportion to the offenses charged. I work with each client to see accusations and complaints resolved as quickly and fairly as possible."
Legal Fees and Insurance
There is enough uncertainty surrounding investigations by state licensing boards without your legal fees being uncertain too. We offer flat rates for the standard legal services required during the investigation process through any evaluation of an offer for stipulation to informal disposition. For the small percentage of individuals who will proceed to an administrative hearing We charge an hourly rate. We accept all major credit cards, and if you have professional malpractice insurance it usually covers legal fees for licensure defense as well - check with your insurer.
