Legal Defense for Professional Malpractice Claims

Complaints filed with Missouri's professional licensing boards can have extremely negative consequences on a person's ability to practice his or her chosen profession. Depending on the type and strength of the complaint, the professional licensing board may issue a reprimand, suspend the license for a period of time, or — in egregious cases — revoke the license entirely.

Ford, Parshall & Baker is a long-established Missouri law firm with a thriving practice defending professionals before their licensing boards in cases of alleged misconduct.

  • We represent physicians and other health care professionals before the Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts.
  • We represent nurses before the Missouri Board of Nursing.
  • We represent attorneys before the Board of Law Examiners/Attorney Licensing.
  • We represent members of any other profession is disciplinary proceedings before their professional licensing boards or in civil actions claiming negligence or malpractice.

Our attorneys have decades of experience representing professionals in administrative proceedings before professional licensing boards and in malpractice claims filed in civil court. To some extent, our practice focuses on defending health care professionals against medical malpractice lawsuits and complaints to the physicians' professional licensing board. Our team of experienced lawyers includes some who have been trained in the medical field. Our advanced understanding of the health care professions helps us mount strong defenses to claims of medical malpractice, attorney malpractice or other forms of professional errors.

In addition to health care professionals and attorneys, we represent individuals from the following professions in licensing board hearings and civil lawsuits: architects, appraisers, certified public accountants (CPAs), chiropractors, pharmacists, real estate agents, and all other professionals who require a professional license to do their jobs.

Do not delay if you learn that a complaint has been filed against you. Contact Ford, Parshall & Baker to consult with one of our attorneys. We provide a vigorous defense with the goal of defeating the charges entirely and maintaining your license — and professional reputation — in good standing.
