The 6 stages of license defense
Professional license defense is the legal practice of defending licensees at 6 stages of disciplinary actions: [1] Complaint or crime, [2] Investigation and interview, [3] Accusation, [4] Administrative hearing, [5] Appeal, and [6] Reinstatement. To get the best possible outcome, call (844) 325-1444 to speak with a lawyer.
Chudnovsky Law’s experienced professional license defense lawyers represent individuals and corporations in all 6 stages of professional license investigation and disciplinary actions:
1. Complaint or criminal charge
Enforcement activity begins when a licensing agency receives one of the following notifications:
- A complaint filed by anyone.
- Disciplinary action in another state or by another agency.
- Notice of a criminal charge, arrest, or conviction.
Complaints can be filed online by anyone, including anonymous parties and competitors, alleging violations of laws, business regulations, and professional standards. If the enforcement review finds a violation may have occurred within the agency’s jurisdiction, the complaint will be referred to their investigation division for investigation.
If you have been arrested for any alleged crime including a DUI, it is crucial that you hire an expert criminal defense attorney knowledgeable about professional license law.
Robert Weinberg, Melissa DuChene, and Suzanne Crouts are experienced license defense and criminal defense attorneys. They have over 65 years of experience resolving DUI and criminal charges while balancing plea, disclosure, and other considerations key to protecting your professional license.
Important Note: The period after arrest for a crime is a crucial opportunity to protect your license. Every effort needs to be made to get the charge reduced or dismissed.
2. License investigation, interview
You will typically first become aware of an investigation when an investigator contacts you to set up an interview or you receive an email or letter that:
- Requests authorization to release your employment records,
- Provides legal notice of an investigation or accusation, or
- Offers for you to voluntarily enter the Board’s diversion program.
Agency investigators are former law enforcement officers, forensic analysts, and other experienced investigators with years of experience in the art of interrogation and conducting investigations. They often appear friendly, casually asking to “hear your side of the story.” In reality, they are often meticulously building a case against you.
If an investigator contacts you, call our professional license investigation attorney at (844) 325-1444. We will help you carefully develop a strategy and response that doesn’t unintentionally incriminate you or weaken your defense.
Representation by an experienced license defense attorney can greatly increase the odds of resolving your matter in the investigation phase with no disciplinary action.
Important note: The investigation and interview stage is a critical opportunity to close the matter without discipline or the allegations being published publicly on your agency’s website.
3. Accusation
Once your agency files a formal accusation against your license, it will become a public record published on the Agency’s website.
An Accusation is a formal pleading document prepared by the Attorney General or your agency’s prosecuting attorney. It will outline why they wish to suspend, revoke, or have you voluntarily surrender your license. It will also include a cost recovery statement outlining the Board’s investigation and enforcement costs they will ask you to reimburse.
Depending on the case, we may take some or all of the following steps to prepare a robust defense strategy and show the board why discipline is unwarranted:
- File any paperwork needed to preserve your rights to defense.
- Thoroughly review the facts and all available evidence.
- Analyze the laws governing the alleged misconduct.
- Get an expert review of relevant records.
- Identify and consult any needed expert(s).
- Obtain an expert psychological assessment and rehabilitation plan, if needed.
- Utilize a defense investigator to obtain any needed evidence or witnesses.
- Obtain any records needed.
- Develop a rehabilitation plan for any chemical dependency issue.
- Assess any potential criminal liability and how that affects your defense.
- Meet with the DCA Investigator to present information to disprove the allegation or minimize the severity of an alleged offense.
Once a formal Accusation is filed, you typically have 15 days to respond or you may lose your license via a default decision. When you retain our firm to resolve your case, we must quickly file a ‘Notice of Defense’ to begin a dual track defense:
- Negotiate: Work directly with the prosecuting attorney and your agency to negotiate the best possible terms for a Stipulated Settlement (plea agreement) or withdrawal of the Accusation. If terms are reached that you agree with, a Stipulated Settlement and Disciplinary Order will be executed to resolve the matter. The order will outline the terms you will abide by to keep your license.
- Prepare for hearing: If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we will vigorously fight your case in a hearing at the Department of Justice, Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).
Receiving a formal accusation can be a devastating experience. This is where expert advice from an experienced license defense attorney can guide your response. We have decades of experience successfully representing licensees in the same exact situation.
You can rely on our experience to guide your decision-making process and secure the best outcome possible. We will identify any weaknesses in the agency’s case, work diligently to present you in the best possible light, and explain how you are not defined by the allegations described in the accusation.
If you have received an Accusation, contact us as soon as possible to review your case and preserve your rights to defend yourself.
4. Administrative hearing
If your matter cannot be resolved in the Accusation stage, an Administrative Hearing will be necessary at the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, or San Diego. This is a legal proceeding with a presiding Administrative Law Judge deciding the merits of your case and the outcome of your case.
The hearing will occur at OAH with a Judge, your attorney, and your agency’s attorney. Both sides will argue their case and present evidence subject to the rules of evidence. The Judge will take the information presented under consideration and has 30 days to render a decision (CA Govt Code § 11517). The most common outcome of a hearing is the retention of the license subject to some form of probationary terms.
Robert K. Weinberg, Gillian Friedman, Melissa DuChene, and Suzanne Crouts have over 80 years of experience representing clients in OAH, California Superior Courts, and U.S. Federal Courts for professional license and criminal matters. They have handled over 7,000 cases and hearings and are prepared to defend you and skillfully challenge any evidence presented.
5. Appeal
If you receive an unfavorable ruling in an administrative hearing, a writ of administrative mandamus (also called a “writ of mandate”) provides a method of appealing the decision in California Superior Court. A licensee usually has 30 days from the effective date of the OAH decision to file the writ petition in Superior Court.
If your lawyer believes errors were made in the OAH Judge’s ruling, a writ of mandate appeal can provide relief. If a writ petition does not produce a favorable ruling, the next venue with jurisdiction is the California Court of Appeals. Appeals are a highly technical area of law with complex timelines, evidentiary, and scope of review limitations.
6. License reinstatement or penalty relief
Chudnovsky Law represents licensees submitting petitions for reinstatement and penalty relief. Licensees can petition their agency for a reduction in penalties, early termination of probation, or reinstatement of a previously revoked license. While mandatory waiting periods can vary by agency and case-specific factors, most California licensing agencies follow these guidelines:
- Petition for license reinstatement may be filed three years after the effective date of the surrender or revocation. For a license surrender or revocation due to impairment due to mental or physical illness, the petition may be filed one year after the effective date of the disciplinary action.
- A petition for early termination of probation may be filed after two years from the effective date of the disciplinary action or the date the license was issued in probationary status for ordered probation periods of three years or more. If the period of ordered probation is less than three years, the petition can be filed after one year from the effective date of the action.
- Petition for modification of penalties may be filed after at least one year has passed from the effective date of the disciplinary action or the date the license was issued in probationary status.
The agency can deny a petition filed within 2 years of the effective date of the prior decision without a hearing or argument. Agencies will typically not consider a petition if:
- The petitioner is under sentence for any criminal offense, including court-imposed probation or parole.
- The petitioner is subject to an order of registration as a sex offender (290 pc).
- There is a pending accusation or petition to revoke probation against the petitioner.
Chudnovsky Law is experienced in creating winning petitions for license reinstatement and penalty relief. Call us at (844) 325-1444 to review your options and how we can help protect you at every stage of professional license defense.

Client Testimonials
“I have nothing but positive feedback about Chudnovsky Law and Melissa Duchene.
We sought legal representation for an investigation into a med spa complaint and had a positive experience from start to finish. From our initial consultation with Melissa it was clear we’d found the right professional license attorney. Her expertise on Physician Assistant Board and Board of Registered Nursing regulations and investigations was impressive. She gave very insightful legal advice and was able to clearly answer all of our questions and give us comfort.
Turns out she had handled many investigations with our investigator before and he seemed to like and respect her. She was able to get the matter rightfully closed with no action taken against us which lifted a huge load off our shoulders.
For that, I highly recommend Melissa, Chudnovsky Law, and their wonderful staff. We wish them all the success in the future!”
“VERY competent CDSS licensing law firm. Robert was easy to work with for an unexpected issue that came up with our adult residential facility. Super responsive and accessible throughout. While the process was a bit nerve-wracking due to all the parties involved, we couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to guide us through.”
“True professional in every way…from start to finish I always felt like I was represented by the expert in her field. Suzanne helped me deal with a false report made to the board of psychology that caused some lost sleep. She got the investigation closed and my name cleared without any effect on my psychologist license. She literally delivered exactly what I asked for.”
“Massive thank you to Melissa for turning things around for me in such a short time. From my first call with her to the final resolution, so productive and efficient solving my LMFT license issue. She’s calm and capable and a master at dealing with the board of behavioral sciences bureaucracy. It can be hard to find good lawyers these days, but look no further as Melissa is simply wonderful and will not disappoint. Thanks again for resolving this so quickly for me!”

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I am contacted by an investigator?
Once you become aware that you’re the subject of investigation, consult an experienced professional license defense attorney as soon as possible. Your number one goal is to get the matter closed with no action taken.
Your lawyer will step in between you and the investigator to ensure all communication is carefully managed and documented, clear up misunderstandings, and ensure your responses address any agency concerns in the most effective way possible.
Board investigators can be very intimidating, and you can feel harassed by their intrusive and aggressive tactics. It’s important to remember that anything you say to an investigator can be used as evidence against you later in a disciplinary action or criminal prosecution.
Representation by an experienced defense attorney can greatly increase the odds of resolving your case in the investigation phase without any disciplinary action.
What should I do if I receive an Accusation?
Once an Accusation is filed, you only have 15 days from the date it is sent to file a Notice of Defense to preserve the right to defend yourself. If you don’t file timely, your licensing agency can deem that you waive the right to defend yourself and proceed to a default decision to revoke your license.
Once you know an Accusation has been filed, you should contact us as soon as possible to properly file and document the Notice of Defense and start on your defense.
Will a criminal conviction cause my license to be revoked?
For most agencies, you are required to disclose a criminal conviction within 30 days from the date of conviction. Some agencies, such as the Department of Insurance and the Medical Board, require you to self-report felony charges upon indictment before you even have a chance to defend yourself in criminal court.
Criminal convictions trigger an evaluation of your suitability for licensure. The self-report submitted is a key opportunity to explain the conviction in the best way possible to demonstrate to the agency that you are of good moral character and safe to practice and maintain licensure.
The effect of a criminal conviction on your license will vary widely based on the charge, description of what happened, police report, and mitigation information supplied to the agency. Possible outcomes include no action taken, a letter of reprimand and fine, filing of an Accusation, probation, or license revocation.
Licensing agencies monitor licensee criminal records and quickly receive electronic notification of arrests, charges, and convictions. If the mandatory self-disclosure does not occur timely, the board can proceed directly to filing an Accusation and license revocation.
If it looks like you will be convicted of any crime, ideally contact us before conviction to review your scenario and how we can help.
What should I do if my license application is denied?
Licensing agencies have special procedures for appealing licensure denial and the related Statement of Issues. Chudnovsky Law has extensive experience in successfully appealing license denials. If your license is denied, please contact us to promptly evaluate your situation and Statement of Issues.
How does a felony conviction affect my license?
Dealing with felony criminal matters is complex, with special administrative procedures and statutory requirements. They vary by agency and type of offense. Chudnovsky Law has extensive experience in resolving these difficult matters favorably.
If you are arrested for a felony offense, you should contact us as early as possible to review your scenario and determine the best path forward to protect your license.
How does the licensing agency know what is on my criminal record?
Licensing agencies monitor your criminal record in the Department of Justice database. They are also notified of any arrests or changes in real time through electronic Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) notifications.
You are entitled to review your criminal record at any time. Simply visit any Live Scan location, provide your fingerprints, and the Department of Justice will send you a copy of your criminal record. This is the same record that your licensing agency will assess and track.
