Common Licensing Issues We Handle

A single complaint can shake your entire career. Many professionals think they’re being punished for something minor or worse, something they didn’t even do. We’ve helped professionals navigate:

• Patient Complaints: Allegations of negligence, unprofessional conduct, or communication breakdowns with patients or their families.
• Complaints and Investigations: Patient or employer complaints with unclear allegations
• Substance Use or Impairment Issues: Board-mandated evaluations, peer assistance programs, or monitoring agreements.
• Documentation and Billing Disputes: Recordkeeping, supervision, or improper coding concerns.
• Criminal Arrests or Convictions: DWI, assault, theft, or other charges impacting professional standing.
• Failure to Comply with Continuing Education or Renewal Rules.
• Delegation and Supervision Concerns: Especially for OT/PTs, APRNs, and PAs.
• HHSC Facility Citations and Enforcement: Deficiency reports, license denials, or administrative penalties.

Our healthcare professional license defense lawyer doesn’t just help you respond. We guide you through the full arc of your defense. That means preserving your license, reputation and ability to keep working.

What to Do If You Receive a Complaint or Notice

1. Do not contact the board investigator directly. Anything you say can be used against you.
2. Preserve all evidence. Save documentation, records, emails, and communications related to the complaint.
3. Mark your deadlines. Many responses are due within 10 to 30 days, missing one can worsen your case.
4. Call now. Early intervention is the key to protecting your license.

Agencies We Handle Cases Before

We regularly defend licensees before:

• Texas Medical Board (TMB)

We know how each board works, from complaint triage and informal settlement conferences to contested SOAH hearings.

Got a BON or TMB Letter? What You Do Next Can Make or Break Your Case

Even experienced providers panic when they receive a board letter. Some freeze. Some try to explain too much. Some delay. That’s what puts licenses at risk. Most cases start with a short window of about 10 to 30 days to respond. We build strong, facts-forward responses that increase your chance of early dismissal. Our medical license defense lawyers also help coordinate with your insurer or employer when needed and walk with you through the entire process.
