Licensing Risks for Healthcare and Medical Professionals
Drug Charges Could Threaten Your Entire Career
If you work in a licensed field—especially healthcare—a drug charge can do more than send you to jail. It could cost you your professional license and your livelihood.
We have represented nurses, social workers, and other licensed professionals facing drug-related criminal charges that triggered reviews or investigations by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). These include:
- Nurses (RNs, LPNs, CNAs)
- Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants
- Doctors and Medical Assistants
- Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants
- Social Workers and Counselors
- Employees at nursing homes, walk-in clinics, hospitals, and dental offices
If you hold a professional license and have been charged, call us immediately. We can help you navigate both the criminal case and potential LARA disciplinary action.
