Highly recommend Ken Kagan!
I so appreciated Ken's help with my licensure issue. Ken was really responsive, quickly and efficiently helped me prepare, and importantly a fantastic calming and supportive presence during a stressful time.

The system is incredibly complicated, it is much more powerful than you, and sadly it doesn't care about your personal details. You need a skilled attorney to guide you. Mr. Kagan is second to n...

"Ken Kagan is the best choice for professional licensing matters. I have had the opportunity to observe Ken's fine work from a number of different angles. I first saw him when I was a member of the Character & Fitness Board, where I found his work far superior to all the other attorneys who appeared before us. I have referred many clients to him and all of have had wonderful outcomes and been highly satisfied with his work. I have joined him in defending individuals accused of crimes that would surely result in professional discipline if the matter went badly. Finally, I have consulted with Ken concerning ethical dilemmas of my own and his advice and counsel has always been spot on. If you are facing professional discipline Ken should be your first call."
