For nurses and healthcare professionals, having a valid license to practice is essential. Unfortunately, errors can occur, and problems can arise that cause issues with your license. If this happens, you may need the assistance of a nurse license defense lawyer.
Here are some situations that may require you to seek out the help of a nurse license defense lawyer.
An Allegation of Unprofessional Conduct
As a nurse, you know that maintaining a professional practice is of the utmost importance.
- The US government has the ability to seize private property. This is a process known as "condemnation." The ability to do this is limited, but it can happen under some circumstances, such as when your property needs to be condemned for health and safety reasons. Abandoned Properties For private property to be condemned over health and safety reasons, there will need to be repeated examples of health code violations. Also, if your house has been abandoned for an extended period, it might be considered a safety risk.
- Those arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) may remember with regret their roadside sobriety tests. These tests are used as a screening procedure by law enforcement when they suspect a driver of being under the influence. To find out more about these tests and why they are not often used as evidence in court, read on. Physical Sobriety Testing Even those who have never been arrested for anything will recognize the walk-and-turn test, the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, and the one-legged stand test.
- Getting pulled over for suspicion of driving while intoxicated can be a harrowing experience for the driver, even if you believe you aren't actually drunk or otherwise intoxicated. If you find yourself in this situation, it's important to remember that you have certain rights that you can use to protect yourself or at least make it more likely that a good DWI attorney will be able to help you fight the case further down the line.
- Attorney fees can build up in a long case, and if your finances suddenly change — say, your job cuts your hours or furloughs you indefinitely — those attorney's fees can start looking scary. If you think you are going to have trouble paying your attorney for a case they're currently working on, you need to take action and not ignore things, hoping for the best.
