Ethics and professional responsibility are integral to the practice of medicine, dentistry, and law. Licensing boards view their primary duty as that of protecting the public, not their colleagues. When a professional is facing allegations of fraud or unprofessional conduct, his or her license, livelihood and reputation are in jeopardy.
At Karotkin & Associates, we are professionals representing professionals. If you are a professional with legal concerns involving ethics or professional responsibility, contact our firm. If a patient or client has filed a complaint or grievance against you, we can help.
If you are facing a grievance before a professional board, such as the Texas Medical Board, the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, or the State Bar of Texas, you have legal rights and obligations. You have the right to a lawyer. You are obligated to respond to the grievance in a timely manner. You may lose your rights if you ignore the complaint or expect it to simply disappear on its own.
We identify our clients' needs. We empathize and understand. As professionals, we appreciate the potentially grave consequences you face and we know how to address the threat.
