Arrested While Holding a Professional License

Request a Consultation

If you are arrested and hold a Medical, Dental, Pilot’s, Commercial Driver’s License, License to Practice Law, Teacher’s Certification, or any other professional or State license you must call the criminal defense lawyers Barton & Associates Law Firm, PLLC to quickly formulate a strategy to defend against the accusations AND the attempt to revoke or suspend your license. We have helped thousands of professionals going through criminal accusations and assisted these individuals in:

keeping their license status and
keeping the convictions off their records.

As a professional license holder, your livelihood is dependent upon your license. If an arrest has now put your license in jeopardy, we need to act NOW. The first step is to sit down and discuss the many options and scenarios of both your criminal case and your license status. Most licenses require you to divulge any type of felony arrest or accusation involving domestic violence. Many situations do not require you to divulge a misdemeanor arrest. As with any profession, your duty will depend upon the circumstances surrounding the accusations and the obligations associated with your license.

Our Clients Say...

We first met with Gary and he was very informative and said from the beginning he believed my husband’s case can be dismissed. We worked with Andrea and she always answered our questions in a timely matter. Then we met Brittany. Brittany was amazing!! Once in court after 24 hours we had a motion for dismissal filed. She was very thorough and explained everything to us. She answered all our questions. Highly recommend Barton & Associates to anyone!

They go above and beyond for you!

Look no further. I was charged with a Class A misdemeanor with an additional charge in the toughest county in Texas (Comal County).

I cannot express enough how amazing this law firm is!!! The situation I was in was over the top stressful beyond measure. But then I came across Barton & Associates and it’s like everything just felt at ease after I asked them to handle my case. To start, I was originally denied to travel to Florida to do Hurricane work for the State of Florida Government by the State of Florida. But Mr. Barton was NOT having that. He knew it was my career, my bills, and my life. Mr. Barton wrote a letter within half an hour to the…

Gary is a tremendous person, I sat down with him, and let him know how I was feeling, and how I saw things proceeding. Gary told me it was going to be alright no matter what and listend intently.
