As a practicing psychologist, you must address any threats or potential discipline to your license promptly and effectively.
Williams & Nickl is here to defend you. We’ve represented more than 3,000 clients in cases involving professional licenses before the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).
You can rest assured that we have the knowledge and experience to help you protect your psychology license.
In Illinois, the Clinical Psychologists Licensing and Disciplinary Board licenses and regulates psychologists. You may face disciplinary action to your license for a wide variety of reasons. We can assist with cases involving the following:
When you face licensing issues, it’s crucial to work with an attorney who understands the laws and regulations affecting psychologist licenses.
We know how the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act (225 ILCS 15, et. seq.) affects these cases. Additionally, we understand the procedures put in place by the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1, et. seq.) and Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS 2105/2105-1, et. seq.), as well as related rules and statutes.
Our expertise addressing these case types before the Clinical Psychologists Licensing and Disciplinary Board helps you resolve matters quickly and effectively.
If you’ve received a formal complaint or the IDFPR has sent you a notice regarding discipline to your license, consult with us before taking action:
We’ll provide you with a free one-hour consultation.
We know the formal and informal policies and procedures that the IDFPR follows. That’s one reason we can determine the best strategy to minimize impact to your license, reputation and career.
In many cases, we can present evidence and explanations that help you resolve your case with no public discipline.
We can also assist with any matters affecting your clinical psychologist license application.
If you’ve received a Notice of Deficiency Checklist or a request for information about previous criminal convictions or discipline in another state, we can help you determine the ideal response.
During your free consultation, we’ll go over your case and help you understand your options. In some cases, you can respond to the IDFPR yourself. In others, we can work with you to provide an explanation that helps ensure the IDFPR issues your license promptly.
If you’re facing disciplinary action to your clinical psychologist license or need to address other licensing issues, our attorneys at Williams & Nickl provide efficient, effective legal help.
We have more than 55 combined years of legal experience. As a former chief of prosecutions for the IDFPR, Attorney Edward Williams provides invaluable insights into your case. He and Attorney Fred Nickl make an expert team.
We’ve helped clients address a wide variety of disciplinary issues, including cases in which the IDFPR suspended or revoked a professional license.
In one case, the board revoked a physician’s license after another attorney represented them at trial with the IDFPR. We appealed our client’s case to the circuit court and convinced the judge to remand the case back to the IDFPR with instructions to reduce the discipline.
