Here For You When Your Professional License Is On The Line

When your license is under threat, you need an experienced attorney on your side. At The Law Office of Sean R. Dingle, LLC, we understand the amount of time, money and effort that goes into acquiring and maintaining a professional license. We also know that license suspensions and revocations are often the result of misunderstandings and false claims. When the Colorado licensing board contacts you about a complaint or possible investigation, you need to reach out to an attorney before it mushrooms into something serious. You don’t want to run the risk of losing your license (and the income that comes with it), damaging your reputation or leaving your clients or patients scrambling at the last minute.

What Is Professional License Defense?

Professional license defense is the legal practice of protecting a licensed professional’s right to practice their occupation when faced with disciplinary action or threats to their license. This area of law involves representing professionals before licensing boards, responding to complaints and advocating for the professional’s interests throughout investigations and hearings.

The goal of professional license defense is to preserve the individual’s ability to continue working in their chosen field by addressing allegations, negotiating with regulatory bodies and developing strategies to resolve issues while minimizing potential consequences.

How We Can Help With Licensing Issues

When you come to us, we get to work immediately. Many complaints are based on misunderstandings that get blown out of proportion or claims that have no merit. Such things should never warrant a suspension of your license and definitely not a revocation. Our attorney, Sean Dingle, has extensive experience negotiating with license boards across a range of professions. With his guidance, we immediately begin gathering evidence and negotiating with the board to either get a dismissal or get the possible penalties reduced. If necessary, we will help you work out the terms of a consent decree so you can keep your license.

In the event that you come to us after your license has been suspended or revoked, we can help you with the reinstatement process and ensure that the documents are filed correctly. We will also follow up with the board until your license is fully reinstated.

Common Reasons For Professional License Discipline And How We Can Help

Licensed professionals may face disciplinary action for various reasons. Understanding these common issues can help you identify potential risks and seek legal assistance promptly. Some frequent causes for professional license discipline include:

• Substance abuse: Alcohol or drug-related offenses can jeopardize a professional’s license. We can assist by advocating for rehabilitation programs and demonstrating commitment to recovery.
• Ethical violations: Breaches of professional conduct codes often lead to disciplinary action. Our attorney can help interpret complex ethical guidelines and develop strategies to address alleged violations.
• Criminal convictions: Even offenses unrelated to your profession can impact your license. We can work to minimize the impact of criminal charges on your professional standing.
• Negligence or malpractice: Allegations of substandard care or professional mistakes can trigger investigations. Our firm can help gather evidence, consult experts and build a strong defense against such claims.
• Documentation errors: Improper record-keeping or billing discrepancies can lead to severe consequences. We can assist in addressing these issues and implementing improved practices.
• Boundary violations: Inappropriate relationships with clients or patients are taken seriously by licensing boards. Our attorney can help navigate these sensitive situations and work toward resolution.
• Continuing education failures: Falling short of required continuing education credits can put your license at risk. We can guide you through the process of meeting these requirements and addressing any deficiencies.
