We are California's premier professional license defense firm. We have
the knowledge, experience, and skill to help you.
Ray & Bishop PLC is a boutique law firm practicing one kind of law:
professional license defense. Our office consists of four full-time attorneys
who practice before nearly every state agency in California. Our clients
and colleagues know us for our dependability, experience, skill, and integrity.
We are hired because of
our reputation and
our results. Every case we handle receives the value of many years of professional
expertise. We
defend professional license holders from
Accusations,
fight the
denial of licenses (often by contesting a Statement of Issues),
protect licensees under
investigation,
appeal adverse licensing agency decisions, and offer complete license law service
from the filing of an application to the completion of a long, successful career.
Whether your matter concerns the California Medical Board, the Board of
Registered Nursing, the Department of Insurance, the Bureau of Real Estate,
the Physical Therapy Board, the Board of Behavioral Sciences, the Board
of Pharmacy, or any other state agency, we can help. You can
check out our blog for more information about California licensing matters.
How do I contact you?
Please call (949) 656-3736 for an appointment today. We can also be reached
by e-mail using the contact form on the left side of this page. Your email
is directly transmitted to a member of our staff, who will contact you
to set up an appointment with one of our attorneys.
When should I contact you?
There is
never a bad time to contact a lawyer if you need advice. If you have been turned
down or believe you may be turned down for a license, if you are under
investigation by your licensing board, if you have received a notice that
your license may be suspended or revoked, if you have to disclose adverse
information on a license application, or if you have just lost a license
hearing, please go to our
License Services page for more information about our services.
