Los Angeles, California, Administrative Law Lawyer

Counsel for California Administrative Law Proceedings

Given the pervasive nature of government regulation in today's society, businesses and professionals in practically every industry can expect to encounter contact with a state administrative agency at some point in time. Administrative hearings can be adversarial in nature and are conducted according to an entirely different set of evidentiary and procedural rules than a courtroom proceeding, and in a vastly different dispute resolution culture.

Whether you need help with a business licensing problem, an attorney ethics compliance issue or even education law matters concerning accreditation or support for special needs, California administrative hearings lawyer Zachary Wechsler can advise and assist you. Contact the Law Offices of Zachary D. Wechsler to learn more about our firm's ability to help you resolve regulatory issues before California state agencies.

Guidance Through Contested Business and Professional Matters

Our experience with contested matters involving license defense, enforcement actions, waivers, denial of certification, background checks and moral character qualifications, and other problems can give you a significant advantage at every stage of an administrative action. We offer advice and representation in matters involving businesses, professions and state agencies as the following:

• State Bar of California admissions and moral character determinations
• Professional licensing defense for real estate brokers, appraisers, sales staff, certified public accountants (CPA) and other professionals facing disciplinary hearings
• Medical and health care licensing, regulation and enforcement for physicians, dentists, psychologists, optometrists, nurses and other health care professionals
• Attorney discipline defense
• Alcohol and drug treatment program licensing and certification
• Auto repair and smog inspection services
• Building, landscape and highway project contractors
• California Department of Children and Family Care Services
• California Department of Insurance
• California Horse Racing Board

Both the substance of the law and the procedural aspects of administrative proceedings before state agencies are different from those that characterize civil litigation in superior court. Our familiarity with these distinctions can streamline your path to a favorable result. Whenever necessary, however, we can take an adverse decision to court through a writ of mandamus or file a formal appeal, depending on the procedural details of your situation.

Protection of Your License, Business and Livelihood

We can help you negotiate the bureaucratic steps that must be overcome in order to receive a license or permit, and we can help you prepare and present your defense to disciplinary or enforcement actions that could jeopardize your business and livelihood. Choose the Law Offices of Zachary Wechsler when you require customized strategies and tactics for negotiating settlements, presenting arguments and pursuing rights of appeal.
