Protect Your Rights With an Attorney's Help
Have you been threatened with license revocation? Are you facing a disciplinary action? Did your employer discriminate against you? Are you involved in a tax dispute, including a levy by the State of Missouri or the Internal Revenue Service? These are just some of the reasons you may need an administrative law attorney to represent you before a hearing commission.
Trapp Law Firm represents doctors, dentists, engineers, accountants, architects, bail bondsmen and other licensed professionals in licensing hearings and appeals. The firm also handles administrative hearings for individuals with matters before other administrative bodies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Administrative Hearing Commission and the Department of Revenue. For a free consultation with experienced Kansas City administrative law lawyers, please call (855) TRAPPLAW or contact us online.
How Is Administrative Law Different?
An administrative law attorney represents people who must appear before a government agency to resolve matters such as:
- Professional licensing
- Employment law and discrimination hearings
- Unemployment hearings
- Workers' compensation hearings
- Department of Revenue hearings
- Child support hearings
- Driver's license administrative actions
Administrative hearings are not courtroom trials, but the results are generally legally binding. In many cases, you may appeal the results to a higher administrative body or to a federal court. The attorneys at Trapp Law Firm can represent you throughout the process, taking your case to court if that is in your best interests.
Helping Professionals Protect Their Careers
Trapp Law Firm provides defense of licenses in front of hearing commissions for professionals such as doctors, dentists, nurses, insurance and real estate agents, and Missouri state employees. A professional license can be at risk for many reasons such as:
- Felony DWI
- Sexual misconduct
- Other criminal charges
- Breach of professional ethics
- Malpractice
Being convicted of a crime, even one not related to your profession, can affect your license. If you are convicted of a felony, you can lose your license to practice in fields and occupations such as:
- Law
- Medicine
- Pharmacy
- Insurance
- Broker
- Real estate
- Architecture
- Engineering
- Accounting
There are administrative rights to protect your professional license and your right to earn a living. You have a right to legal counsel. You have a right to a hearing, a right to confront witnesses and a right to present your own witnesses. In addition, you have a right to a recorded and transcribed hearing, and a right to appeal the process.
