Business owners and other professionals work hard to establish themselves in their chosen careers. In addition to putting forth the time, money, and effort to obtain the necessary education and training, as well as investing capital into a business, a person will need to meet a variety of requirements in order to receive and maintain a professional license. These types of licenses are required for a business to continue operating, and anything that may threaten these licenses should be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.
In some cases, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) may take disciplinary action against a licensed professional, while in others, the IDFPR may deny a license application. In these situations, the attorneys of Williams & Nickl, LLC can provide the legal help you need. Attorney Edward Williams is the former Chief of General Prosecutions for IDFPR and the former Chief of Real Estate and Real Estate Appraiser Prosecutions, and he and Attorney Fred Nickl have assisted more than 3,000 clients in license defense cases. With more than 55 years of combined legal experience, Edward and Fred can help you understand the best steps to take to defend your professional license and your career.
There are a wide variety of laws, statutes, and regulations that apply to Illinois business licenses, and different licensing and disciplinary boards address matters related to formal Complaints, license suspension or revocation, or denial of licensure.
