Administrative Law Attorneys

Washington, D.C. • Annapolis • Baltimore • Northern Virginia

When you receive your license to enjoy the labor and rewards of your chosen profession, you're considered legally competent to seek a livelihood at that particular occupation, as long as you comply with all applicable laws and rules that govern your occupation.

Your professional license is your bread and butter. The hard work you committed, the money you pledged to an education in your specific field, additional funds raised to achieve the required licensure, challenging internship and rigorous preparation, the legal hurdles of business formation: all of these indicate just how valuable that license is to you and your family. Protection of your status could not be more important to your livelihood. To see it jeopardized by disciplinary action would be highly regrettable.

Protecting your license: that's our job, for those of us who practice administrative law at McNamee Hosea, "the business owner's law firm" for the D.C. Metro area, Maryland, and Virginia.

Administrative Law: What We Do

Our experienced, dedicated McNamee Hosea administrative law lawyers are here to help in these critical areas:

• Liquor license placements and transfers
• Commercial real estate property assessment appeals
• General licensing and regulation
• Professional licensure defense
• Zoning and land use

Numerous important occupations are subject to regulation by their own licensing agencies, those bodies created by statute and empowered to monitor licenses and conduct proceedings. Licensed professionals have a vested interest in their license, and have a right to due process in actions affecting its status and validity. The protection and assertion of these due process safeguards becomes our responsibility at McNamee Hosea.

We Protect and Serve

Our administrative law attorneys insist on timely notice of any proceedings challenging your license, and make sure that you and any witnesses appearing on your behalf have an opportunity to be heard. We see to the filing of documents and presentation of evidence before the appropriate board.

Suffering a board's adverse ruling can have life-changing repercussions for you and your family. This makes it all the more important that you retain experienced, quality counsel to prepare your case, collect and present evidence, conduct persuasive cross-examination, and offer convincing rebuttal witnesses at all hearings.

We can do all that and more. We make it our business to know your business.
