Professional Malpractice

Licensed professionals dedicate years of education, training, and resources to earn the privilege to practice in their respective fields—whether in law, medicine, engineering, architecture, accountancy, or other regulated professions. However, their careers and reputations may be unjustly threatened by frivolous or ill-motivated complaints filed before the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) or other licensing authorities.

Conversely, members of the public are not always guaranteed competent or ethical service. When licensed professionals abuse their authority or fall short of their professional obligations, aggrieved clients are often left navigating unfamiliar, highly technical complaint procedures—exacerbating the harm they’ve already suffered. The firm has developed extensive experience in PRC-related proceedings, offering balanced, strategic, and responsive legal assistance to both sides of the professional accountability spectrum.

Our services include:

• Defense of Licensed Professionals: Representation of professionals facing administrative complaints for negligence, misconduct, immorality, or violations of the Code of Ethics or professional standards.
• Advisory and Representation for Complainants: Legal assistance to individuals pursuing valid complaints against professionals whose actions have caused harm, deception, or injury.
• Administrative Proceedings Before the PRC and Other Licensing Boards: Drafting of verified complaints or answers, preparation of affidavits and documentary evidence, and representation in formal hearings.
• Appeals and Judicial Review: Assistance in appealing adverse PRC rulings before the Court of Appeals or seeking injunctive relief when necessary.
• Regulatory Compliance and Ethics Advisory: Preventive guidance for professionals on standards of professional conduct, documentation, and compliance to mitigate future exposure to complaints. Whether representing professionals seeking to defend their right to practice or individuals seeking accountability and redress, our firm brings a firm grasp of regulatory procedures, a client-focused perspective, and a reputation for integrity in handling sensitive professional malpractice matters.
