Without the proper preparation, a professional’s license could be suspended or revoked by the Department of Commerce (DOC), devastating their reputation and halting their ability to make an honest living. This is especially true for those in industries that require licenses to operate legitimately; if criminal activity is suspected, it can ruin them professionally with unexpected swiftness. Professionals must act pre-emptively to protect themselves from such a potentially catastrophic outcome.
DOC license investigations can target a wide range of individuals in the industry, including:
- Doctors, nurses & medical technicians
- Attorneys, judges & legal practitioners
- Psychologists & psychiatrists
- Pilots & transportation experts
- Teachers & instructors
- Insurance agents & real estate agents

The Board of Medical Practice is a governing body that ensures the licensing and regulation of healthcare professionals, like physician assistants, acupuncturists, respiratory therapists, chiropractors, and more. Not only does this Board oversee these professions, but also many other occupations in need of monitoring. Kevin has extensive expertise in supplying legal assistance to members of said medical boards for duties related to their position or practice area.
Consequences of Statute Violations
The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice is committed to seriously taking allegations against federal and state professional license statutes. Breaking these laws can result in severe consequences, such as hefty fines or loss of your profession, as well as more extreme outcomes like jail time for criminal activity – leaving a lasting mark on your reputation. Make sure you know what the potential penalties are before making any decisions!
Licensing Actions
As part of the standard licensing and registration protocol for medical professionals, your governing Board reserves the right to take administrative or other necessary actions against you. This controlling body can:
- Terminate or temporarily suspend your license or registration.
- Establish regulations and limits to the utilization of your professional license or registration.
- If you violate the licensing statute, make sure to withhold your license renewal as a form of protest.
- Hold you accountable for any statutory infractions.
In the event of severe abuse to a child or vulnerable individual, the Board is legally empowered to temporarily suspend your credential, refuse issuance of a license, and mandate that all activities be overseen by an accredited peer or person who holds authority.
Rigorous Investigation, Strategic Case Building, And Alignment With Clients’ Goals
Should you receive a letter or call from the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, or any other similar entity, indicating that an investigation into your potential misconduct is taking place – it’s understandable to feel distraught and overwhelmed. Even if there are no grounds for such claims, this experience can be immensely stressful and anxiety-provoking. It may seem too extreme to put in words, but please keep in mind:
