Professional License Defense

Protecting Your Interests in California Licensing Matters

At the Law Offices of Zachary D. Wechsler in Los Angeles, we provide comprehensive license defense services to businesses and professionals before California state agencies. Whether your licensing problem arises from a charge of professional malpractice, an ethics complaint or investigation, or a technical violation of professional or state regulations, we can advise you about the best course of action to protect your livelihood and reputation. Contact California professional license defense attorney Zach Wechsler for experienced advice about your needs.

Our clients benefit from our extensive experience handling matters involving hearing officers, administrative panels, and the administrative law judges affiliated with the Office of Administrative Hearings. Our understanding of the differences between civil litigation and the different procedures associated with the professional disciplinary process can help expand your options for a favorable outcome under the facts of your case. At the same time, we work closely with you and the agency to make sure that you have a clear understanding of your exposure, the range of potential sanctions, and the steps necessary to protect your license and your career.

We prepare the defense for and resolve professional license problems for people in a number of professions and occupations including:

  • Attorneys
  • Physicians, psychiatrists, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and other health care professionals
  • Insurance agents and brokers
  • Teachers, principals and coaches
  • Social workers, counselors, therapists and foster parents
  • Building contractors, road construction contractors and landscape professionals
  • Jockeys, trainers and owners in the California horse racing industry
  • Real estate brokers and appraisers

If you should received a sanction like suspension or revocation of your license, our service to you does not end; we can appeal the result directly or through a writ of mandamus if it appears that the result was arbitrary and capricious, unsupported by the evidence, or imposed beyond the agency's authority to act.
