Most jobs in California require a professional license. Examples include insurance brokers, real estate agents, dentists, nurses, doctors, accountants, and lawyers. You need years of study, examinations, and continuing education to acquire a professional license. Local and state agencies will revoke or suspend your license if you engage in acts of misconduct. Losing your professional license could affect you in many ways, not just your ability to pursue your career. A suspended or revoked license is a public record, making it hard for you to land a new job. A revoked or suspended license could also affect your relationship, especially regarding child custody and adoption. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you could even find yourself in the newspapers. This will embarrass you and your family.

Reasons Why You Can Lose Your Professional License
There are several reasons why you can lose your professional license in California. Some causes do not result from misconduct on the job. For example, you could lose your professional license because of drunk driving and other criminal acts. Engaging in illegal activities after work hours or when you are "off the clock" can lead to a revoked or suspended license, probation terms, and other restrictions. A felony conviction is particularly problematic. If you hold a professional license, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately when you learn that the police are investigating you for a crime.
Besides committing a crime while off-duty, here are some other reasons why you can lose your professional license:
- Supplying false information or omitting some information on professional paperwork. For example, you can do this when applying for an original license, on a license renewal form, or on other paperwork you handle during your job. Even if you accidentally omitted or submitted incorrect information, licensing bodies take these errors seriously.
- If you have a professional license discipline in another state, California could take action against you, depending on the laws that allow licensing bodies to take action for out-of-state disciplines.
- Failing to pay child support when the court orders you to do so.
- Mismanaging money, property, or paperwork on behalf of customers, clients, patients, or students.
- Failing to pay local, state, and federal taxes as the law requires.
- Having an improper sexual, romantic, or financial relationship with clients, patients, or students.
- Cheating on a professional examination or having another person take a vocational licensing examination on your behalf.
- Failing to perform your duties according to the standard of care results in regular acts of negligence or incompetence.
