Professional Licensing Problems

Philadelphia Professional License Defense Attorney

If you are a member of any licensed profession and find yourself facing disciplinary action before a licensing board in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, do not make the mistake of assuming that you can resolve the matter yourself on favorable terms. The advice and representation of an experienced advocate from the point of the initial inquiry or complaint is highly advisable for formulating your response, providing requested information, and assessing the range of sanctions to which you might be exposed.

In much the same way that a criminal defendant should avoid direct contact with the police or prosecution, anything you say can, and very likely will, be used against you. Contact the Law Offices of Stanley B. Cheiken in Jenkintown for advice and representation in any professional license disciplinary investigation.

No matter how much trouble you're facing for a violation of any kind, the temptation to represent yourself is likely to backfire. You will not have the benefit of objective advice, and any documentary submission or spoken conversation you have with the investigators, no matter how candid, is likely to be met with suspicion. A credible intermediary in the form of an experience trial lawyer is likely to expand your options while avoiding mistakes, statements against interest, and the possibility of creating worse problems through lack of cooperation or candor.

We represent licensed professionals facing disciplinary action in fields which include the following:

• Medicine
• Nursing
• Psychology and therapeutic counseling
• Chiropractic and podiatry
• Pharmacy
• Real estate
• Accounting

• Law

Licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Stanley Cheiken can not only represent you in disciplinary proceedings initiated in either state, but he can also protect your interests in cases involving reciprocal proceedings.

Disciplinary investigations and hearings might commence in response to a client or patient's complaint, a failure to file a registration statement or fee in a timely manner, an allegation of professional misconduct, or a criminal conviction. Regardless of the factual background of your case, Stanley Cheiken can serve as an effective advocate for your interest before the board considering suspension or revocation of your license.

Stanley Cheiken also represents physicians and surgeons involved in credentialing disputes with hospitals, health insurers, and HMOs. In appropriate cases, he can seek injunctive relief to keep your staff privileges in effect pending the resolution of the underlying dispute.
