--------------------------------

1.     Did You Receive an Accusation?

An Accusation is a legal document that contains charges against a licensed professional. It is usually sent by the State Board that issued your license by certified mail. There will be included several other legal documents including a Notice of Defense. You must take immediate action by filing the Notice of Defense and/or employing an experienced attorney to request a hearing to prevent a default.

If you are licensed by a California Board or Agency, and have received accusation, contact Samuel Spital, a former Deputy Attorney General.

2.      Were You Contacted by Your Licensing Board?

Prior to the filing of an Accusation, you may have been contacted by your licensing agency by letter, or by an investigator with the Department of Consumer Affairs or the Board that issued your license.

In you were contacted by your licensing board, it is important that a prompt and cooperative reply be given, but one certainly has to be cautious. You would be well-advised to obtain expeienced State Board Licensing Defense Legal Counsel . In the interim, you may want to state something like the following: "I want to cooperate fully with you, but I will have my lawyer call you first." It is better to be cautious than later sorry because your statement may be used against you.

In some situations, however, an immediate plan of action may be necessary . At Spital and Associates, we will develop a plan of action and strategy for responding to the state board or agency to resolve issues at the earliest possible stage.

3.      Was Your Application for a State License Denied?

If you are applying for a state license and received a denial letter (Statement of Issues) Samuel Spital and Associates can help. We develop a plan of action and strategy for responding to the state board or agency to resolve issues at the earliest possible stage. Negotiations are also possible in these matters, and in certain cases, the matter can be resolved without an administrative hearing.

If you received a Statement of Issues, it is usually served by certified mail and is accompanied by other legal documents including a Notice of Defense. Immediate action is required to preserve your right to an appeal of the denial of the license. At Spital and Associates, we will develop an appropriate response, providing more information or seeking an appeal to avoid a default.
