Licensure and Certification / Professional License Discipline

In Mississippi and all other states, professionals practice their respective trades after receiving a license or permit to do so from a state board or agency.  When issuing such a license, the board retains jurisdiction over the professional to take the license away or administer discipline based on certain legal parameters. 

The firm of Robinson, Biggs, Ingram, Solop & Farris, PLLC has over thirty (30) years of collective experience relating to issues regarding professional licensure.  The firm serves as the Complaint Counsel for the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure and Mississippi State Board of Dental Examiners, advising board staff during investigations and handling disciplinary complaints against physicians, podiatrists, dentists and dental hygienists.  Using this experience, the firm also defends professionals before other boards and agencies.  This includes representation of professionals during a licensure investigation; legality of the examination process; completion of licensure applications; and defending professions in the event a disciplinary hearing ensues.  This unique area of the law requires an attorney with experience in administrative procedures, administrative discovery, constitutional law, administrative remedies, and appeal rights.

Professionals represented by the firm include attorneys, architects, pharmacists, nurses, psychologists, landscape architects, nursing home administrators, physical therapists, just to name a few.  Having prosecuted before the medical and dental boards for over 26 years, the firm is in a unique position to defend other professionals. 

The attorneys practicing in this unique area of the law include:

• Stan T. Ingram
