As a chiropractor, you must quickly and effectively address any issues threatening your ability to practice. These include disciplinary action that may result in the suspension or revocation of your chiropractor’s license.
Williams & Nickl is your lifeline — especially when dealing with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).
In Illinois, the State Medical Disciplinary Board governs you as a chiropractor.
An array of issues may result in disciplinary action to your license:
When addressing these or other disciplinary issues, you must work with an attorney who fully understands the applicable laws, rules and procedures.
Our Understanding of the Matters Influencing Your Case
We know how the Medical Practice Act of 1987 (225 ILCS 60/1, et. seq.) applies to you. Additionally, we understand the administrative procedures defined in the Rules for the Administration of the Medical Practice Act of 1987 (68 ILAC 1285.20, et seq.) and the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS 2105/2105-1, et seq.).
We can ensure the IDFPR applies these rules and statutes correctly in your case.
The State Medical Licensing Board handles chiropractic license applications. In some cases, you may receive requests or notices:
Contact us before responding to this type of request. We’ll help you determine the best approach to take. We’ll provide you with a free one-hour consultation. If necessary, we can draft an explanation letter to the IDFPR that addresses any concerns.
In many cases, we can dispose of these inquiries quickly. Furthermore, we’re often able to have the IDFPR issue your license soon after responding to the licensing board.
At Williams & Nickl, our attorneys understand how to address the chiropractic licensing issues you face. We have more than 55 years of combined legal experience. And we’ve represented more than 3,000 clients before the IDFPR.
Attorney Edward W. Williams is a former IDFPR chief of prosecutions. As a result, we uniquely know the formal and informal policies and procedures that IDFPR prosecutors follow.
Alongside Attorney Fred Nickl, we’re precisely positioned to expertly guide you in cases involving possible disciplinary action. We’ve worked with a wide variety of medical and healthcare clients to defend them against discipline to their professional licenses.
In one successful case, we represented a physician who faced a number of accusations, including failing to conduct proper physical examinations and failing to chart. Via negotiations with the IDFPR prosecutor, we obtained a settlement that included a short probation period. Ultimately, we were able to quickly restore our client’s license to an unencumbered status.
