Disciplinary Actions

You have worked hard to earn a professional license and build a career. But facing disciplinary action by an administrative board can destroy all you have worked for. Suspension or the permanent loss of your ability to work within your chosen field is a significant risk, and you need to respond proactively to fight accusations that could lead to the loss of your ability to work.

The field of administrative law is unlike any other, as different boards have their own rules and protocols for disciplinary procedures.

Call us today to speak with a New Jersey professional license lawyer so we can represent you before the board that is pursuing disciplinary proceedings against you.

Who is Subject to Disciplinary Actions by Administrative Boards?

Any professional within the state of New Jersey who must be licensed, or who works under the purview of an organization with an administrative board, could face disciplinary action by that board or organization. Professionals who are subject to administrative rules include:

• Law enforcement officers, who are subject to disciplinary actions by internal affairs.
• Firefighters, who may face a departmental hearing for alleged wrongdoing.
• Teachers, who may be required to come before the Board of Education.
• Accountants, who may be disciplined by the Board of Accountancy.
• Dentists, who are subject to the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry.
• Doctors, surgeons, nurses, chiropractors, podiatrists, and other care providers who are subject to discipline by various licensing boards that are part of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, such as the State Board of Medical Examiners.

These are just a few examples of the professionals in New Jersey who may be subject to administrative processes that affect their careers. There are different protocols for disciplinary proceedings conducted by various boards and agencies, but every professional accused of wrongdoing must be given the opportunity to raise defenses to accusations. Since your professional future is at stake, you must ensure you have the legal help you need to respond assertively and develop an effective defense strategy.
