Defending Professionals

For people employed in certain professions that require professional licenses, an arrest for an alleged criminal offense creates two major problems. Not only must the alleged offender respond to the criminal charges, but he or she will generally have to deal with any potential disciplinary measure relating to his or her professional license.

A guilty plea, even to reduced charges, can still jeopardize a person's professional license. Any licensed professional who is charged with a criminal offense in Florida should be absolutely certain to retain legal counsel for help ensuring that he or she achieves the case resolution that does the least amount of possible damage to his or her career.

Consequences of Convictions for Licensed Professionals in Alachua County

Certain concessions made in negotiating criminal penalties during plea bargaining may still carry negative consequences in matters concerning professional licensing. The effects of a conviction or even an arrest can vary depending on the type of license the alleged offender has, as some licenses require holders to self-report convictions while others do not.

In some cases, a conviction will trigger an automatic suspension of a license. In other cases, convictions result in administrative complaints. Galigani Law Firm assists clients in all types of professional licensing matters arising from criminal charges, including investigations and audits by state agencies, administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings, and board hearings.
