Key context the firm's matters commonly involve:
- Licensing boards: most professions in California are regulated by a state board (for example, the Medical Board, Board of Registered Nursing, Dental Board, Board of Pharmacy, or Board of Accountancy) that can investigate complaints and impose discipline.
- The firm represents clients at every stage of the disciplinary process, including application denials, statements of issues, accusations, investigations, warnings, public reproval, probation, suspensions, revocations, Office of Administrative Hearings proceedings, reconsideration, and petitions for writ of administrative mandamus in Superior Court.
- Statements made to a board analyst or investigator can become admissions used against the licensee later, so the firm advises consulting an attorney before responding to a board complaint.
