Dental Board Defense Attorney in Alabama
When your license is on the line, you need more than a lawyer—you need a fighter.
If you’re a dentist, hygienist, or dental professional under investigation or facing discipline by the Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama, your career, reputation, and livelihood are at risk. The board has broad authority to investigate complaints, impose sanctions, suspend licenses, and even revoke your right to practice. At Kreps Law Firm, we defend professionals like you. We know the Dental Practice Act. We know the rules. And we know how to fight back when the system threatens your future.
Common Issues We Handle
We represent dental professionals facing a wide range of licensing and disciplinary issues before the Alabama Board of Dental Examiners, including:
- Patient care complaints
- Failure to meet standard of care
- Allegations of fraud or overbilling
- Criminal convictions (including DUIs)
- Substance use or impairment allegations
- Recordkeeping or documentation violations
- Sexual misconduct accusations
- Unlicensed practice or aiding an unlicensed person
- Insurance billing or Medicaid audit issues
- Boundary violations and ethical complaints
Disciplinary Process in Alabama
The disciplinary process begins when a complaint is filed. The Board may open an investigation or conduct an informal review. If the matter proceeds, a formal hearing can result in:
- Public reprimand
- Fines or restitution
- Probation or practice restrictions
- Suspension of license
- Revocation of license
The Board is also empowered to adopt and enforce administrative rules to regulate professional conduct, which means you can be penalized even if you never set foot in a courtroom.
What’s at Stake?
A disciplinary action can do more than put your license in jeopardy:
- Damage your professional reputation
- Disqualify you from insurance panels
- Limit future employment opportunities
- Trigger board actions in other states
- Lead to federal or criminal investigations in some cases
You Have Rights – We Protect Them
Many dental professionals don’t realize they’re entitled to legal representation at every stage of the board process—from the first letter through hearings and appeals. Whether the issue is minor or career-threatening, our job is to step in early, advocate aggressively, and protect everything you’ve worked for.
At Kreps Law Firm, we:
- Handle board correspondence so you don’t have to
- Build strategic defenses based on law and fact
- Represent you at informal conferences and formal hearings
- Negotiate resolutions when possible
- File appeals when needed
