Your license as a nurse is everything. You’ve worked hard to earn it. You’ve put a lot of time and money into your education and training. But when a disciplinary, employment or criminal action is taken against you, your license is put in jeopardy. Our lawyers for nurses will fight aggressively to protect you from losing your license, having your career ruined and your freedom compromised.
Chapman Law Group has been representing nurses for 35 years throughout Florida and Michigan. We have assisted thousands of nurses in private practice, hospitals, and state and federal correctional facilities on such matters as:
Our lawyers for nurses are dedicated to specific areas of health care law, including licensure, criminal matters and negligence. This allows our lawyers to gain a great deal of experience and knowledge of specific areas of law that impact nurses.
We know that most legal issues against nurses will have some effect on licensure and employment, and nurses can’t have one without the other. So our teams of criminal defense, negligence and licensure attorneys work together on each case to ensure the initial legal issues are handled in such a way as to minimize the negative impact on the nurse’s career. It’s this dedication to specific areas of health law and collaboration of lawyers that better protects nurses and allows for cost savings.
As a nurse, we know you’ve invest a significant amount of time and money into your education and training. You depend on your professional license to earn a living. When a disciplinary, employment, or criminal action is taken against a nurse, your license is at risk.
Chapman Law Group’s licensure attorneys assist hundreds of nurses yearly with disciplinary matters that threaten their license. Every day we meet before the Board of Nursing, administrative courts and state licensing departments (LARA, DOH, ODH) to fight for our clients.
Our attorneys for nurses have significant experience with common disciplinary matters, including:
Our licensure attorneys also have experience handling more complex disciplinary actions against nurses, such as criminal prescription fraud and drug distribution charges. We also help nurses who have difficulty obtaining or renewing a nursing license because of prior criminal convictions, disciplinary action or relinquishment.
Our negligence lawyers have significant experience defending nurses and physicians accused of negligence and malpractice in locations including Detroit and Miami. Our lawyers have also collaborated with many of the leading malpractice insurers to defend health professionals against malpractice actions.
For nurses who are facing felony charges related to health care — such as drug trafficking, drug diversion, criminal health care fraud and sexual misconduct involving patients — our criminal defense lawyers are here to take your case.
Our criminal law attorneys are unique, because they only represent health care providers. Their combined knowledge and experience in both criminal law and health care law allows them to handle the most complex cases against nurses.
We also defend against DUI, assault, shoplifting and other criminal charges that can threaten a health professional’s medical license, DEA registration and CMS enrollment.
For 35 years, we at Chapman Law Group have focused solely on the healthcare industry, in matters such as license defense, regulatory compliance, healthcare-related criminal law, and professional liability. Our case results for nurses speak for themselves.
We work with nurses and other licensed healthcare professionals all over Michigan — from Detroit, Dearborn and Troy, to Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Lansing — and Florida (for the Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando and West Palm Beach communities).
You worked hard for your nursing license. We work hard to help you keep it. Contact us today and let us put our experience to work for you.
