Will a Criminal Conviction Result in a Problem with My Professional License?

I have represented doctors, nurses, accountants, lawyers, and other individuals with professional licenses in Bucks County.  It is always challenging to advise an individual about what their particular licensing body finds acceptable in a criminal conviction.  Frequently, it depends on the license and the crime.  

The Department of State, Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs provides the umbrella for 29 professional and occupational licensing boards.  These licensing boards have the power to take disciplinary action against a license for "statutorily enumerated reasons" which are contained in their particular statute and other laws.  

It is critical for an individual to explore these issues with a Bucks County criminal attorney and determine the appropriate path in their defense.
