What are the consequences of using a professional title like "psychologist" without a license?
As GRT Law attorney Nicole Valentine explains, using a protected title without a license is illegal, misleads the public, and can expose you to penalties including fines, jail time, and disciplinary action from licensing boards for unlicensed practice.

What should I do if my professional license is under investigation?
If you are being investigated by a licensing board, it is crucial to secure legal representation immediately. An experienced license defense attorney can help you navigate the process, protect your rights, and build the strongest possible defense.

How can I proactively protect my professional license?
Understand and strictly adhere to your profession's code of conduct and California state law. Ensure all continuing education requirements are met, maintain meticulous records, and consult a license defense attorney if you are ever unsure about a compliance issue.
