Medical License Defense Lawyers in Sarasota & Manatee Counties
Healthcare professionals hold positions of trust, and allegations of misconduct, impairment, or regulatory violations can threaten not only a professional license but an entire career. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other licensed providers in Florida are subject to oversight by the Department of Health and professional licensing boards, which have broad authority to investigate and discipline license holders.
At McIntosh Law, our medical license defense attorneys represent healthcare professionals facing investigations, disciplinary actions, and administrative proceedings. We understand how high the stakes are, and we work aggressively to protect your license, reputation, and livelihood.
Act Quickly to Protect Your Medical License
Time is often the most critical factor in medical license defense cases. Statements made early in an investigation can shape the outcome, and missed deadlines can severely limit your options. Having legal counsel involved from the outset can make a meaningful difference in how regulators view your case.
If you are a physician, nurse, or healthcare professional facing an investigation, complaint, or disciplinary action, do not wait to seek legal guidance. The sooner you act, the more options you may have to protect your license and your career.
Call (941) 299-0701 today or contact us online to schedule a confidential consultation with a medical license defense attorney.

Representation Before the Florida Department of Health & Licensing Boards
Medical license defense is distinct from criminal defense. Administrative proceedings follow different rules, burdens of proof, and procedures. A favorable criminal outcome does not guarantee protection from licensing discipline.
We assist clients with the following stages of the disciplinary process:
- Department of Health Investigations. We respond to investigative inquiries and protect your rights during interviews and document requests.
- Formal Administrative Hearings. We litigate contested cases before Administrative Law Judges at the Division of Administrative Hearings.
- Informal Board Hearings. We present mitigation evidence and advocate for reduced penalties when violations are acknowledged.
- Negotiated Settlements & Consent Orders. We work to resolve cases efficiently while minimizing public discipline and career disruption.
Early legal intervention is often critical to limiting disciplinary exposure and preserving your professional standing.
