With domestic abuse cases on the rise due to more people sheltering at home, professional license holders are the most vulnerable to life-long consequences of these convictions. Penalties for a domestic violence charge include suspension and complete revocation of your license. In some circumstances, the lasting effects of this conviction could affect your future career path and livelihood.
Not only will you be subject to judgment by your professional licensing board, but you may also have to deal with hefty fines and penalties. Whether your charge was classified as an accident, self-defense, or even a false accusation, there could be serious consequences to your life and career.

Discipline Defense
If you received a charge for domestic abuse, you will be subject to disciplinary action by your professional licensing board. These actions could include suspension or revocation of your professional license as well as a stain on your permanent record. A professional license defense attorney can represent you in front of the board and work to lower your disciplinary consequences. Instead of being out of work for an extended period of time, your attorney will get you back to focusing on your career.
Petition for Reinstatement
Has your license already been revoked for domestic abuse? You still have an opportunity to get it back. In the state of California, licensed professionals have the ability to petition their industry’s licensing board to reverse their decision. Professional license defense attorneys, like those on our team, can help you manage the petition process and build a case to get you reinstated.
