- Hearing before a disciplinary panel or tribunal
- Possible penalties that may affect your license status and/or your future
- Small complaints can easily lead to serious consequences if they are mishandled.

How Professional Discipline Cases Are Handled
In most cases, professional discipline matters follow an established course of events
- Complaint filed: someone files a complaint with the state licensing board
- Investigation: the state licensing board examines the evidence, hears from witnesses, and makes an evaluation of the validity of the complaint
- Temporary restriction/suspension: depending upon the nature of the complaint, the state licensing board may impose certain interim measures on your license to practice
- Hearing: the state licensing board holds a formal Hearing where all relevant information related to the complaint will be presented
- Decision/penalty: the state licensing board determines whether it has sufficient evidence to warrant imposing discipline, and then decides what type of discipline should be imposed
- Appeal rights: You may have the option to appeal the final determination based on how things turned out
In matters related to the license of your business, consulting a licensing lawyer in Anaheim can provide added support when navigating complex regulatory issues.
