NEW JERSEY NURSING LICENSE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

The nursing profession in New Jersey is regulated by N.J. Stat. 45:11 and other regulations. The New Jersey Board of Nursing is responsible for licensing registered and practical nurses and for regulating the profession.

Our New Jersey Nursing License Defense attorneys are skilled at representing New Jersey nurses in all criminal and administrative disciplinary matters involving licensure.

The rules defining professional misconduct for New Jersey nurses are similar to those for New Jersey physicians. If you are arrested for a criminal act or under investigation for professional misconduct, you must have an attorney experienced in appearing before New Jersey licensing boards and in representing licensed professionals.

As a nurse licensed in New Jersey, you may be subject to discipline for a variety of violations, including criminal conviction, dishonesty and fraud, professional negligence, malpractice, and incompetence, drug and alcohol abuse, illegal dispensing of controlled substances, and other violations.

Except in cases involving criminal matters, in which court clerks are required to notify the Board of criminal dispositions, most other disciplinary matters are initiated by a complaint that triggers an investigation. When you are approached by any state agency investigators concerning an alleged professional misconduct, you have an obligation to cooperate with the investigation. This said, you should not forfeit your right to consult with an attorney. Any information you provide will become part of the investigative report and may seriously impede the outcome of your case. When under investigation, call our firm immediately before discussing the case with anyone else. Our New Jersey nursing license defense lawyers will be able to protect your interests before it is too late.

We represent New Jersey nurses, physicians, and other healthcare licensed professionals throughout the investigative stage of the case to administrative hearings to appeals. Having built a successful criminal defense practice, we can represent you at all stages of the criminal matter.

When your New Jersey nursing license is on the line, do not take chances and call our office to schedule a confidential consultation.
