Do I have to tell my licensing board I was arrested?

It depends on your board and your license. Some require reporting within a set time. Talk to us before you report so it does not hurt your criminal case.

Will I lose my license?

Not necessarily. Many outcomes protect your license, especially with the right plea strategy, early action, and record clearing when available.

Can the board act even if my case is dismissed?

Sometimes. Boards have their own standards, so we prepare for both cases from the start.

Should I talk to my employer?

Call us first. What you say, and when, can matter.

Is this confidential?

Yes. Your consultation is protected by attorney-client confidentiality.

Most Lawyers Only Fight Half the Battle

For licensed professionals, an arrest can trigger a second case before your licensing board. What you say to police, what you plead to, and what you report to the board can all affect your license.

Most criminal lawyers focus only on the charge. Most license lawyers never step into a criminal courtroom. You need both working together from day one.

Record clearing

When possible, we plan for expunction or nondisclosure from the start.
