Professional Misconduct Defense Attorney
Allegations of professional misconduct can compromise reputations and destroy careers. The Law Offices of Zachary Wechsler handles all aspects of professional misconduct defense issues before various committees. For assistance defending your license, contact the Law Offices of Zachary Wechsler in Los Angeles, California.
Mr. Wechsler is a former member of the California Committee of Bar Examiners who served several years on the Subcommittee on Moral Character. He has attended more than 400 related hearings and has valuable insight and experience with the deliberative processes that inform decisions for admission or denial based on the applicant's background.
Licensed professionals, such as lawyers, dentists, physicians, real estate agents, teachers and other professionals are held to a higher standard than people in non-licensed professions. They have undergone grueling licensing procedures at the outset of their career and have complied with maintenance procedures throughout their career. An allegation of professional misconduct can eliminate good standing and place a professional license in jeopardy.
If you receive notice of pending disciplinary charges, or if a licensing agency has filed an accusation against you, it is critical to consult an attorney experienced in professional license defense.
