Alabama Medical License Defense Attorney

As a Physician you have invested thousands of dollars (often six figures) as well as years in obtaining your medical license and pursuing your career. You depend on your medical license as a means of earning a living and to provide for your family. If you are under investigation by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners or have a disciplinary matter before the Medical Licensure Commission of Alabama, you should take the matter seriously.

Do not allow yourself to be told by the Board investigators that you do not need legal representation or that the matter is a simple fact-finding inquiry. It is important to realize that the Board interest is protecting the public's safety and they are therefore advocating on behalf of the public's safety and welfare. It is not the mission of the ASBME to protect your medical license or advocate on your behalf. Often, physicians allow themselves to believe that the matter is only fact finding and as long as they cooperate with the investigation everything will be OK. Often such statements are made by investigators at the onset of investigations. It is important to seek legal representation at the earliest possible stage. The ASBME has attorney's representing their interest. You should have legal representation advocating for your interest. Keep in mind if you choose not to obtain legal counsel, you are by default representing yourself. Any time you speak with a Board investigator, provide a written statement to the Board, submit documents to the Board, or go to the Board for a sit down meeting to discuss the matter, you are essentially representing yourself. As such you are outside your area of expertise and easily overmatched by Board investigators and attorneys with years of experience conducting investigations and prosecuting disciplinary actions on behalf of the Board.

You need to consult with an attorney experienced with representing physicians in such matters as close to the onset of the proceedings as possible. Mr. Hutto believes it is extremely important that you consult with an attorney if you are under investigation or have other disciplinary or licensure matters before the Board.
