Client was a Physician who came to our health law attorneys for help after receiving a conviction for larceny.

Immediately after client contacted us we were able to research her conviction, and gather important mitigating character evidence.

The patient alleged that the Therapist made sexual comments to the the Patient during treatment ... . We were retained to represent the client during the investigation and any subsequent complaint. Immediately after our initial client consult we conducted our own internal investigation into the incident by interviewing employees, patients, and reviewing the complainant’s story for accuracy. After an extensive investigation, we were able to determine that the complainant’s story was false and that the complainant was not sexually harassed. We presented our case and evidence to the investigator and she immediately recommended that the allegations be dismissed.
OUTCOME: The dissolution of the summary suspension allowed us to have a greater bargaining position with the Board of Medicine and we were able to negotiate a consent agreement which would allow the Client to continue practicing under the supervision
Client retained the Chapman Law Group to represent her during the summary suspension proceedings and subsequent licensing proceedings. With our extensive experience dealing with criminal matters and pr ... ofessional licensing matters we were able to quickly have Client evaluated for a substance use disorder (alcohol dependence or abuse) and petition for dissolution of the summary suspension. The evaluator was able to provide a favorable recommendation before the administrative law judge and we were able to successfully cross-examine the arresting officer to provide mitigating/extenuating evidence. Ultimately, the administrative law judge quickly dissolved the summary suspension and the client was able to return to work pending resolution of her licensing issues.
OUTCOME: We resolved the summary suspension and had the administrative complaint dismissed.
We are unique in that our firm possess a great deal of knowledge regarding the practice of medicine, nursing, and professional licensing. The client retained us to 1) overturn the suspension, and 2) fa ... vorably resolve the administrative complaint. After allegations of diversion and refusal of an employment drug screen, the nurse was referred to HPRP and proceeded through initial intake. When HPRP recommended a 3 year monitoring agreement, the client refused and as a result his license was summarily suspended. We were able to quickly gather enough favorable testimony, physical evidence, and documentary evidence supporting the client’s case regarding his reasons for refusing the drug screen. Additionally, we were able to determine that what the Board of Nursing believed was evidence of diversion, was actually just a documentation error. The administrative law judge promptly overturned (dissolved) the suspension and allowed the Client to return to work. After dissolving the summary suspension we attempted to reach an acceptable resolution with the Board of Nursing but unfortunately the Board would not agree to dismiss the complaint. The case proceeded to a Formal Administrative Hearing on the merits of the case. Having a significant amount of trial experience and experience in administrative licensing cases, we were able to present a compelling case to the administrative law judge and ultimately received a favorable proposal for decision recommending that the case be dismissed. After receiving the proposal for decision, the Board of Nursing dismissed the complaint. The client received no adverse administrative action for his refusal of an employment drug screen, allegations of diversion, and refusal to enter an HPRP monitoring agreement.
