Administrative Law
California has numerous regulatory agencies that license businesses, occupations and professions. Examples of business and professional licenses we advocate for:
Medical License |
Dental License |
Registered Nursing License |
Pharmacy License or Pharmacist's License |
Healthcare Facility License |
Chiropractor License |
Disciplinary actions against these licenses generally arise from customer complaints, civil judgments or even criminal complaints and/or convictions. Prior to disciplinary action, an investigation by a licensing agency occurs. The licensing agencies have the power and legal right to deny, suspend or revoke a professional's license. Without question, learned legal representation is imperative to navigate the professional through the complicated statutory process of maintaining his or her license intact. Fonda & Fraser, LLP's lawyers are experienced and skilled in the evaluating and handling of:
Accusations - formal document, which sets forth the alleged misconduct, the laws that were violated and discipline sought e.g., suspension or revocation.
Statement of Issues - formal document which sets forth the reasons for a license denial.
Statement to Respondent - formal document provides information about the legal process.
Notice of Defense - form requesting a formal hearing usually before the Office of Administrative Hearings.
Administrative Hearing – formal proceeding where documentary evidence and witness testimony is provided before an Administrative Judge.
Writ of Administrative Mandamus to the Superior Court of California - the licensee's sole course of appeal from an adverse licensing decision provided by the Administrative Judge and adopted by the licensing agency.
