What to Do If You Receive a Summary Suspension of Your Medical, Nursing or Other License

In Michigan, the State must show that “emergency action is required to protect the health safety and welfare of the citizens of the state.”

If you are subject to a summary suspension, you must act quickly and will need an attorney experienced in professional licensing issues to represent you. You will need to file a petition to dissolve the summary suspension. A judge then will hear the case and decide if there is enough evidence to meet the standard above. 

A case to dissolve a summary suspension must be pleaded very carefully to argue your point with a limited availability of evidence and records but also preserve issues for a final hearing to argue the merits of your case. Once the judge makes a determination about your ability to return to work, a hearing will also be scheduled in the future to determine if you should face disciplinary action as a result of the allegations. 

You should seek the advice of an experienced professional licensing attorney when your ability to earn an income is hanging in the balance.
