Professional License Defense for Doctors, Nurses and Other Medical Professionals
Why Boucher Law Firm?
Throughout his career as a trial lawyer, Rick Boucher has chosen to take on complex and difficult cases having an important impact on his clients. The hallmark of his work is preparation, research, adequate resources for expert testimony, if needed, and his detailed, thorough investigation.
Rick has extensive experience representing doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and other health care professionals whose medical licensure is in jeopardy because of alcohol or drug abuse, misdemeanor or felony convictions, professional misconduct or inappropriate conduct, relationships or billings practices, among others.
The issues at stake are immense -- livelihood, social status, sense of pride and self-respect. The instinctive reaction of many health care professionals is to voluntarily cooperate, present extenuating circumstances or lengthy explanations all of which can be devastating to a fair and just result. After an accusation or charge has been filed against you, the first step is usually a written response. Strict time limits apply. You can make admissions in the response that will jeopardize a fair and just result in your case. The investigator is usually three steps ahead of you. An investigation will ensue.
If your medical or nursing license is in jeopardy, I can help protect your career. Your disciplinary case requires knowledge of the unique procedures of Administrative Law, as well as specific rules of evidence. The hearing on your medical or nursing license is not like going to trial or small claims court.
Defense of your license to practice medicine, nursing or other health care professional licenses can involve resolution without an administrative hearing as a result of a negotiated disposition with the board's or state's legal counsel. Informal resolutions are explored to see if a satisfactory result for our client can be achieved given the evidence at hand. We are experienced in negotiating informal resolutions as well as defending the case at a hearing.
