California license law attorney or lawyer is a common search phrase. The proper area of law, however, is administrative law. Professional license defense, or license law, is one area of administrative law. Searching for a California administrative law attorney may help you find the right “license law” attorney. Note: While the caption for your case may state that it is “before” an agency (e.g., Before the Medical Board of California), this is confusing as cases are actually tried before the Office of Administrative Hearings--an administrative law court system for professional licensing cases. Proceedings before the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) are governed by the California Administrative Procedures Act which can be found at Business and Professions Code section 11500. Find a California lawyer who is familiar with administrative law practice and procedures.
