The Board Revoked My License. Can I Apply For Reinstatement?

If your license got revoked, you can reapply after 1-3 years, but it could take longer for certain agencies. Don’t think that the board will just hand you another professional license. Getting your license back after revocation is tough, and you’ll need to show proof that you’ve changed. Some agencies might just deny the re-application altogether.

Below are some FAQS clients have on professional licenses:

Many different issues can risk your professional license. Although the exact reasons for losing a license can differ among licensing boards and authorities, some common issues include serious legal malpractice, putting clients or patients at risk, theft, and being convicted of crimes that could harm your capacity to serve professionally.

Based on your situation, you have several options to defend your professional license. You can challenge the truth of the accusations against you or look for penalties that don’t involve losing your license or being disbarred. There are many routes to consider, and figuring out which ones to take is best done with help from a lawyer who specializes in professional license defense.

Talk to a lawyer immediately if you get a Statement of Issues or an accusation. You or your lawyer needs to fill out the Notice of Defense form and send it to the board using Certified Mail within fifteen days of receiving the accusation. Keep a copy of the Notice and check back to ensure the agency got it. Failure to request a hearing on time may result in losing your professional license.

Determining how frequently disciplinary actions result in losing a license or being disbarred is hard. But in your case, that really doesn’t matter. What’s important are the details of your situation, the accusations, and the legal defenses you can use. When you engage a lawyer, they can assess the possible outcomes of your disciplinary process and tell you the best way to move forward.

You don’t need to add an explanation with your Notice of Defense. Anything you say to the board or its lawyer could be utilized against you later. So, wait to share any extra details until you’ve spoken with your lawyer.

You can represent yourself at the hearing, but it’s probably not going to work out well for you. The board will have a lawyer, and the Administrative Law Judge expects you to fully understand the procedures and rules for the proceeding. If you can’t afford a lawyer, talk to one about your case.

If your license got revoked, you can reapply after 1-3 years, but it could take longer for certain agencies. Don’t think that the board will just hand you another professional license. Getting your license back after revocation is tough, and you’ll need to show proof that you’ve changed. Some agencies might just deny the re-application altogether.

If you face disciplinary actions, your first step should be to retain a qualified professional license defense lawyer. Your situation can become complicated, and you will want someone with experience in your corner.
