Obtaining Your License
In recent years, professional license applicants are being subject to stricter scrutiny than ever before as professional licensing boards attempt to protect the public from dangerous or incompetent professionals. Applicants with a criminal conviction or prior sanction on another professional license have found it has increasingly difficult to pass through the initial character and fitness investigations to be deemed eligible for licensure. Many times the initial denial of a professional license by a professional licensing board can be challenged.
