Protect and Defend your Livelihood

Your Physical Therapy Board of California license is by far one of your most valuable assets. The time, money, and personal effort you have invested in educating yourself and achieving physical therapist licensure is significant. When your physical therapists license is threatened with revocation, suspension, or probation by an accusation, or when your application for licensure is denied with a statement of issues, your entire livelihood is threatened. You must act promptly.

You Have Legal Rights

You have the right to defend yourself by demanding a trial before an administrative law judge where you can confront and cross examine witnesses, and challenge the investigative findings of the California Physical Therapy Board. You may issue requests for discovery, subpoenas to compel the appearance of witnesses and documents. You may call witnesses in your own defense, including fact, expert and character witnesses, and introduce mitigation evidence to context. You may challenge the decision to the superior court.

Don’t Risk Going It Alone

Don’t waste valuable time and risk your physical therapist license trying to do this yourself. You may irretrievably forfeit important legal rights by simple mistakes, and by not knowing how to approach this crisis. Hiring a knowledgeable California Physical Therapy Board license defense attorney early during the investigation stage of your license discipline case can considerably improve the likelihood of a positive outcome for you.

Physical Therapy License Defense AttorneysWe know your efforts as a physical therapist makes a difference in people’s lives on a daily basis. As you rehabilitate muscles and joints affected by accidents, illnesses and disabling conditions such as arthritis, head injuries and cerebral palsy, and you provide a standard of care whose goal is to restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities while promoting and maintaining overall fitness and health.

We also know that many of you hold two or more jobs, working in hospitals, in practices with other health practitioners, and in care homes. If you look back on your path to becoming a PT, the 5+ years you spent studying coursework in biology, chemistry and physics, as well as specialized courses such as biomechanics, neuroanatomy, human growth and development, etc. were pretty intense.

Your ability to practice your medical specialty depended on passing both national and state licensing exams; holding onto that license means taking continuing education classes and attending workshops, making you, like other health care professionals, a perennial student.

The job forecast for physical therapists is excellent through 2018, projected to experience even faster growth than other professions requiring a master’s degree, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But have you thought about what your life might be like if your license became suspended or even revoked?

Rose Law believes every hard-earned state of California license is worthy of a professional defense, whether you are in the process of obtaining it or hanging on to it once an accusation has taken place. We understand the bureaucratic red tape and short time-lines given for documentation required by the Physical Therapy Board when your license becomes challenged.
