How Can Patituce & Associates, LLC Help with Your Case?
If you are a medical professional facing criminal charges, you need immediate representation to cover both the criminal charges and the impending disciplinary action. Most Cleveland criminal defense attorneys do not understand, and do not practice, before the various state boards and therefore do not know that even a successful defense can have lasting penalties for the medical professional if not handled appropriately.
For instance, in a case where a doctor is accused of inappropriate patient contact, they may defeat the charges and obtain an acquittal but in doing so may establish the grounds to have his license revoked. It takes an experienced Cleveland medical disciplinary action lawyer to navigate this complex landscape.
We would not perform surgery on ourselves and a doctor should not perform legal surgery on their career! As well-educated professionals, we often think that we can handle anything that comes our way, but it is important to remember that not even criminal lawyers defend themselves when they face charges – at least not the good ones. It is our job to protect your ability to practice medicine. Call our Cleveland medical disciplinary action attorneys at(440) 471-7784. Ask to speak to us about how we can help protect you. The call is confidential and without any obligation.
