LICENSE DEFENSE RESOURCES

Criminal Convictions and License Defense

If you are a licensed professional and have recently been convicted of a crime, you are likely facing the risk of losing your license. Professional licensing boards, including the Texas Medical Board, typically classify a criminal conviction as grounds for license suspension or revocation. Depending on the circumstances, however, you may be able to save your licensing privileges.

The Texas license defense attorneys at the Leichter Law Firm understand what it takes to uphold your professional licensure and we will pursue all possible options to defend your practice and livelihood. To learn more about what we can do for you, contact us today by calling 512-495-9995.

License Defense Options

A criminal conviction does not automatically mean that you will lose your license. In fact, there are several techniques that can be employed to help defend your practicing privileges. Our attorneys have helped hundreds of licensed professionals uphold their licensure and we are prepared to assist you with your defense. Some of the license defense options that we can help you with include:
