Florida Professional License Defense Lawyers
One of the most disconcerting events that can happen to a physician is receiving an investigation letter from the Florida Department of Health or another state board. Due to regulations like the three-strikes rule (Amendment 8), a physician's license could be threatened if they fail to mount an aggressive defense.
At the law firm of Michael R. Lowe, P.A., we represent physicians and healthcare providers in professional licensure cases and investigations conducted by various boards, including:
- Florida Department of Health (DOH)
- Medicine
- Osteopathic Medicine
- Podiatric Medicine
- Chiropractic Medicine
- Pharmacy
- Nursing
Over the years, our lawyers have represented physicians and other healthcare professionals in hundreds of professional licensure defense cases before Florida licensing boards. Our primary goal in these matters is to defend and protect our clients' licenses. Some of the specific types of professional licensure cases we handle include:
- Prescription fraud/violations
- Standard of care violations
- Medical records violations
- False insurance claims
- Wrong-site surgery
- Advertising violations
- Continuing medical education violations
- Sexual misconduct with patients
- Disciplinary actions
- Impaired practitioners referred to the Professional Resource Network (PRN)
Our lawyers always work toward dismissal at the probable cause panel level without any disciplinary actions being taken against our clients' healthcare licenses. When necessary, we aggressively defend clients in administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings and help them understand and prepare for the potential negative impacts of any ALJ decision.
Attorney Michael R. Lowe is Board-Certified in Health Law by the Florida Bar.
