Administrative Law
Governments establish agencies to oversee and to run the regulatory statutes enacted by the Legislature. Administrative, regulatory and licensing law includes any issue that involves a local, state, municipal or federal agency or board. Examples of these include the Registrar of Contractors and the Department of Health.
Our attorneys have extensive experience appearing before administrative agencies for a variety of issues ranging from license acquisition to disciplinary proceedings. Our lawyers have collectively tried more than 100 cases before the Arizona Office of Administrative Hearings, and have lectured and published extensively on the subject.
If you have been denied a license, or if you are facing disciplinary action against your license, you still have an array of Constitutional rights and are entitled to protection and assistance of counsel.
When contractors and other licensed professionals are involved in litigation or allegations of wrongdoing, such as construction defect litigation, they may be at risk of having their licenses suspended or revoked. If you are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) or another licensing board and are facing license suspension or revocation, you have rights. Since regulatory agencies operate under their own set of complicated rules and procedures, representing yourself could place your license at unreasonable risk.
