Professional License Defense Exhibit Checklist FAQ

How long do I have to respond to a licensing board complaint?

Most licensing boards give 20-30 days from the date of the notice to file a written response. This deadline is strictly enforced. If you need more time, request an extension in writing before the deadline passes — boards sometimes grant 15-30 additional days for good cause.

Can I lose my license without a hearing?

Your professional license is a property interest protected by the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause. Under Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970), the government must provide notice and an opportunity to be heard before taking a protected interest. However, some boards can issue emergency suspensions for imminent public safety threats, with a full hearing to follow.

Should I hire an attorney for a licensing board hearing?

If your license is at risk of revocation or suspension, an attorney experienced in administrative law is worth the investment. But if the complaint is minor or you're facing a reprimand, many licensees represent themselves successfully with organized evidence. Either way, this checklist helps you gather everything you'll need.
