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.
