When an investigation or formal complaint threatens your license and your livelihood, everything you have worked for is on the line.

Professional License Defense Lawyers

Our team includes a former police officer, a prosecutor, and Marine Corps veterans who understand the seriousness of these allegations and the need for immediate, strategic defense. We represent licensed professionals across Michigan facing disciplinary action, board investigations, or criminal charges that could jeopardize their ability to work.

Who Needs a Professional License Defense Attorney?

Any professional whose career depends on maintaining a state-issued license may need defense representation.

In Michigan, this includes:

  • Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and therapists.
  • Educators, including teachers, administrators, and school staff.
  • Financial professionals such as accountants, brokers, and advisors.
  • Law enforcement and public employees whose certification or commission is at risk.
  • Tradespeople and contractors are regulated by state boards.

Allegations of misconduct, negligence, substance abuse, fraud, or criminal behavior can quickly lead to investigations by state licensing boards, suspension of your credentials, or even permanent revocation. Our attorneys step in immediately to protect your rights and career.

Common Issues That Put Professional Licenses at Risk in Michigan

Complaints and investigations come from many sources, including employers, clients, coworkers, or law enforcement.

Our Michigan professional license defense attorneys frequently handle cases involving:

  • Substance abuse allegations, including drug or alcohol use, are impacting professional duties.
  • Ethical violations such as breaches of confidentiality or conflicts of interest.
  • Fraud or financial misconduct, including billing fraud, embezzlement, or misrepresentation.
  • Criminal charges such as OWI, fraud and theft, or domestic violence that trigger board review.
  • Negligence or malpractice claims tied to professional performance.
  • Sexual misconduct or harassment allegations within the workplace.
  • Unprofessional conduct reported to licensing authorities.

Even unproven allegations can harm your reputation, cause loss of employment, and endanger your license. We take immediate action to minimize these consequences and protect your career.

Michigan Licensing Boards We Appear Before

At Ben Hall Law, we represent professionals across Michigan before a wide range of licensing boards and regulatory agencies.

They include, but are not limited to:

We understand how each board operates, the procedures they follow, and the disciplinary actions they may impose. Our experience allows us to prepare a defense strategy that speaks directly to how these boards evaluate allegations and make decisions.

How We Defend Michigan Professionals

Defending a professional license requires both knowledge of administrative law and experience in criminal defense. At Ben Hall Law, we bring both to the table.

Our defense strategies may include:

  • Challenging the complaint if it lacks merit or evidence.
  • Ensuring due process and preventing licensing boards from overstepping their authority.
  • Negotiating alternative resolutions such as rehabilitation programs, remedial training, or probation instead of suspension.
  • Defending against criminal charges that may impact your license.
  • Appealing disciplinary decisions to protect your right to continue practicing.

We treat every case as if it could go to trial, preparing thoroughly from day one. Our goal is to protect not just your license, but also your reputation and future opportunities.
