Virtual Consultation Available
For the professional, I counsel Pennsylvania doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and all other licensees facing disciplinary actions before Pennsylvania's twenty six different state regulatory boards. My clients live both in and outside Pennsylvania and face disciplinary actions against their Pennsylvania professional license. My website and blogs discuss my professional license defense strategies. From criminal convictions that affect a license to work place employment investigations and client based complaints to the licensing boards, I handle all types of disciplinary actions. In this age of hightened scrutiny of all professionals regarding their personal or professional conduct, Pennsylvania's licensing Boards take any complaint or behavioral misteps seriously. Please visit my web site and blogs at .
I also represent individuals in a wide variety of criminal prosecutions. My experience includes defending clients in state and federal grand jury proceedings, perjury and obstruction charges, health care and tax fraud claims, robbery and drug related crimes, gun violence cases, and computer and internet crimes. I counsel clients in connection with grand jury investigations and prosecutions by the U.S. Department of Justice and various U.S. Attorney’s offices across the country, and the Pennsylvania and New Jersey offices of the Attorney General.

Richard Hark is the best!
Without Richard Hark I could have not kept my license in the good standing it deserved to be. Mr. Hark is by far the most knowledgeable and experienced attorney I have known. When it comes to fighting the injustice many licensed healthcare workers experience with the State Board of Nursing, you nee...

Richard Hark Saved my Nursing License
Richard Hark hands down is thee best!!! I was charged with 3 counts of misdemeanors and my nursing license was on the line.

Nursing Board defense
Mr. Hark helped me in defending myself against the PA nursing board. Mr. Hark was very competent in the case. I searched long and hard in the Internet and through word of mouth for help with this case. Mr. Hark was definitely the best option I found. I won my case with his help. He gave me confidence...
"I have known Richard Hark for years and he is an outstanding attorney. While he handled criminal defense matters for many years, he has shifted his practice focus to administrative law where he assists professionals (nurses, doctors, lawyers, etc) when they are being disciplined by their respective licensing board. This is usually as a result of contacts with the criminal justice system or drug/alcohol problems. Despite the shift in practice, the outcomes are the same. I have seen him successfully fight the most serious criminal charges and I now refer professional clients to him when their criminal case overlaps with their professional license. He has become extremely skilled in a very sensitive area where clients' livelihoods are on the line. This is no easy task but Richard's combination of legal smarts, common sense, and empathy for his client's plight make him a perfect fit. I strongly endorse Mr. Hark."
"I endorse this lawyer. Knowledgeable on board defense matters for licensed health care professionals."
"I recently referred a complicated criminal defense matter to Mr. Hark. He handled the case with a high degree of professionalism and was able to secure an excellent result."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Rich on many cases over the past 20 years. He is a straight-shooter and is honest with his clients. I trust him enough that I have referred dozens of my clients to him for assistance with various types of matters including criminal defense."
