Facing Both a Criminal Case and a LARA Licensing Case at the Same Time

Criminal charges and LARA licensing complaints often arise from the same conduct — a healthcare professional charged with billing fraud, a drug offense, or an OWI; a teacher involved in an incident with students; a financial professional facing fraud charges that also trigger licensing review. When both a criminal case and a licensing case stem from the same facts, the two defenses have to be coordinated by counsel experienced in handling both. In this video, Attorney Randall Levine explains why a conviction typically triggers a self-reporting obligation to LARA (and a resulting investigation), and how the right defense strategy protects both your liberty and your professional license at the same time.
