Most licensing boards have the right to discipline members of regulated professions for misconduct, including a criminal conviction. If you are a member of a licensed profession who is facing criminal charges of any kind, you might consider retaining counsel who can defend you in the criminal case and protect your interests before your licensing board at the same time. For additional information about our experience with the defense of clients whose licensing considerations might complicate the defense of the pending criminal case, contact Michael Khouri today.
Different professional licensing bodies have different standards for the discipline of persons charged with criminal offenses. In most cases upon proper request, a licensing board will defer action against the professional's license until the criminal case is resolved, but actual practices vary a great deal from one disciplinary board to another, and are highly sensitive to the actual charges presented.
For example, The Health Care Commission might very well choose not to pursue disciplinary action against a licensed professional until a pending DUI case is resolved, but the Board of Examiners in Psychology might undertake its own investigation promptly if a licensed therapist is charged with a sex crime. No matter what your professional circumstances might be, Mr. Khouri can defend you against any criminal charge while protecting you against the risk of a suspended or revoked license. Professional Licensing Defense is Mr. Khouri's specialty.

We also assist professionals who are seeking entry or readmission to licensed professions in cases where a past conviction can create problems with your board.
For licensed professionals in any field, the high stakes involved in criminal defense are even higher, due to the prospect of action against your license once the criminal case is resolved, or even sooner.
