When your medical career is on the line because of an investigation or formal disciplinary action, you should be cautious. As a medical professional, for example, a physician, surgeon, or nurse, you strive to obtain your license and reputation. When your licensing board is investigating you, you need an experienced and caring medical license defense lawyer. Your attorney should fight against the revocation of your practice license and career destruction.
In Long Beach and larger California, if you face disciplinary action because of an allegation of drug/ substance abuse, ethics violations, or malpractice, your livelihood could be jeopardized. For example, the Medical Board of California (MBC) could suspend, restrict, or suspend your license. To minimize such deranging sanctions, our capable healthcare professional license defense lawyers could help you take proactive steps to safeguard your rights.
The Legal Guardian prides itself on building defense strategies tailor-made for healthcare practitioners like dentists, nurses, psychologists, surgeons, and emergency medical technicians (EMT). Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your case, we dedicate to represent you from the investigation stage to your penalty relief. Contact us today for a comprehensive approach to defending you before California state agencies that the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) oversees.
The Legal Guardian is devoted to protecting your professional medical license aggressively. We pride ourselves on offering robust defenses. Since every provider's case is unique, we focus on developing tailor-made strategies. Our custom-made services could include:
In California, particularly, licensing boards could investigate your professional conduct and quality of care. Disciplinary actions from the boards typically start with examining your practice and could be triggered by other professionals’ or patients’ complaints made to the board. Insurers could also file reports stating that you are involved in malpractice. Reports that peer review bodies file could also make the board take disciplinary actions against you regarding staff privileges or ethical complaints.
The MBC could also learn about your convictions in California or another state through the media or practitioner databases. At the Legal Guardian, our license defense lawyers could represent you in investigations and enforcement actions. It is recommended that you contact us during the early stages to develop robust defenses against boards like:
California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA)
Local Emergency Medical Agencies (LEMSA)
California Board of Behavioral Sciences Licensing Investigations
Board of Pharmacy Licensing Investigations
Board of Registered Nursing Licensing Investigations
Board of Chiropractic Examiners Licensing Investigations
Board of Chiropractic Examiners Licensing Investigations
Dental Board of California Licensing Investigations
Medical Board of California Licensing Investigations
Other medical professional misconducts we have experience and can help with include:
Treating patients while intoxicated. We can represent you if your patient or a colleague make claims that you went to work disoriented
You got involved in gross negligent operations. You could blunder by failing to record a patient’s blood group before performing a blood transfusion. If you face a gross negligence charge, we could help challenge through litigation the administrative actions or, if appropriate, negotiate a plea not to lose your license
Failing to supervise your medical assistants and aids properly
Allowing a healthcare assistant to work without proper training or licensing
You faced charges of other offenses as a Paramedic, EMT, Nurse, or physician, such as DUI, sex crimes, or domestic violence.
HIPAA violations and other infractions involving patient privacy
Exceeding the bounds of your license. For instance, there are medical treatments an EMT cannot administer to patients
You need the help of a healthcare professional licensing lawyer if you are currently subject to a hospital or licensing board decision, which negatively affects your practice ability. Negative impacts could include being placed on probation or having your license suspended. In California, you have the right to appeal the board's decision review at a Superior Court. Then, the superior court verifies if the Boards abused its discretion in making its judgment. Our network of appellate lawyers could help you with decision appeals by many boards like:
The Board of Pharmacy
The Board of Chiropractic Examiners
The Hospital Board Regarding Privileges Disputes
The Dental Board of California
The California Board of Behavioral Sciences
The Medical Board of California

1. Appealing Rejection for License Renewals and First Time Applicants
During your license application, you should submit accurate background qualifications to EMSA, BRN, DCA, or the California Medical Board. Before the application submission, you want to find a medical-legal experienced attorney who could review the disclosure to determine if you have provided all the necessary details. Giving false information could lead to a license denial.
If you have an unstable background and don't know the proper wording to put in your application, we can offer you help. Since full disclosure through a well-worded explanation is recommended, our attorneys will help you get your license irrespective of the derogatory information in your background.
2. Appealing License Rejection
If you have already received a Statement of Issues or denial letter, we can develop a strong strategy on the best way to respond to the board's rejection. We have successfully helped many medical professionals acquire their licenses after returning Notice of Defense.
3. Appealing for License Reinstatements
After you have surrendered your license or the board has revoked your license, it is best to receive legal counsel before you begin an application for license reinstatement. We can help review the application to determine if it is well-worded. We could also create a reliable application packet that highlights rehabilitation's track record to offer you the best chance of having your professional license reinstated and save your professional career. We have represented medical experts for all phases of license applications, reinstatements, and appeals.
