Common Questions

Massachusetts License Defense FAQ

What triggers a Board complaint in Massachusetts?
Complaints can come from patients, employers, coworkers, or even law enforcement. Common triggers include allegations of unprofessional conduct, patient harm, substance abuse, criminal charges, or failure to meet documentation standards. Once a complaint is filed, the Board is required to investigate.
What happens after a complaint is filed against my license?
The Board will notify you of the complaint and typically request a written response. It will then conduct an investigation which may include interviews, record requests, and expert review. Cases can be dismissed, resolved informally, or proceed to a formal hearing before the Board.
Will I automatically lose my license if a complaint is filed?
No. A complaint is the beginning of a process, not the end. Many complaints are dismissed or resolved without any license action. An experienced attorney can help you respond effectively from the start and significantly improve your outcome.
Can I keep working while the Board investigates?
In most cases, yes — you can continue practicing while the investigation is pending unless the Board issues an emergency suspension. Attorney Gaudet can advise you on protecting your practice and livelihood throughout the process.
Do I need an attorney for a Board complaint?
You have the right to represent yourself, but Board proceedings are formal legal processes with serious consequences. An attorney experienced in license defense understands the Board’s procedures, knows what arguments are most effective, and can protect your rights at every step.
