Administrative/Professional Discipline
Matters
Defended
by Martin Peters, Vancouver Criminal Lawyer Mr. Peters,
a Vancouver criminal lawyer, has extensive experience defending professionals,
such as doctors, lawyers and stock brokers, in proceedings commenced
by their professional regulatory bodies.
It is common for lawyers who are convicted of fraud to also
face discipline proceedings before the Law Society. Doctors
or other health professionals who are charged with patient
abuse may also be charged by their college or regulatory body
for unprofessional conduct.
Stock brokers may face criminal charges and then in turn be charged
with a breach of securities regulation.
Administrative proceedings can also be brought independently
of other proceedings.
The professionals involved in such proceedings often face the
risk of losing their professional certification. As a person’s
professional livelihood is at issue, the stakes in these cases
can be very high. As in all of his cases, Mr. Peters finds that
the key to a successful outcome is thorough preparation. |
