Professional Licensing & Responsibility

Hoover Hull LLP counsels Indiana professionals facing disciplinary actions or other issues that could jeopardize their professional licenses or credentials, including:

• attorneys;
• accountants;
• physicians;
• dentists;
• pharmacists;
• insurance agents and brokers;
• securities brokers; and
• teachers. 

Our attorneys represent professionals in diverse administrative and committee proceedings throughout the State of Indiana, including hearings before state regulatory agencies, compliance examinations and investigations, license suspension and revocation (professional peer review) proceedings and medical staff membership rights.

Hoover Hull LLP has extensive experience in counseling attorneys facing ethical dilemmas, grievances and/or verified complaints from the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission. We provide practical guidance throughout the disciplinary process in an effort to avoid or minimize public embarrassment for the lawyer.  We also consult with attorneys to mitigate the risks of potential malpractice claims and serve as "claim repair" counsel where underlying litigation is ongoing, and offer private opinion letters regarding proposed courses of action. John David Hoover is the 2010-11 Chair of the Legal Ethics Committee of the Indiana State Bar Association (ISBA).  Patrick Olmstead is the Chair of the Ethics Hotline Subcommittee for the ISBA, which provides ethical guidance for attorneys.

Our lawyers also represent physicians in licensing and credentialing matters. We provide advice in actions and investigations brought against physicians by the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, as well as in credentialing disputes before hospital peer review committees and boards of directors. We also represent both health care professionals and institutions in claims involving revocation of physician privileges.
