Criminal Defense Attorney in Los Angeles, California

We defend a select number of doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, and other licensed professionals in criminal and white-collar cases. Because of our specialized knowledge and experience in both criminal law and professional licensing, we also represent individuals charged with unlicensed practice. In addition, we routinely work in conjunction with other criminal defense attorneys to creatively resolve criminal cases in a manner that best protects your license and livelihood.

An arrest, plea, or conviction can have far-reaching consequences for licensed professionals, including the revocation, suspension, or restriction of your professional license. In addition, an arrest, plea, or conviction may result in the loss of employment, hospital privileges, specialty board certification, and membership in professional organizations. Licensed healthcare providers may also be reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), excluded from the Medicare and Medi-Cal programs, and placed on the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Exclusions List.
