Department of Licensing

The Department of Licensing regulates Washington professionals under the Uniform Regulation of Business and Professions Act. Alleged violations of the Act can lead the Department to investigate professionals for “unprofessional conduct,” pursuant to RCW 18.235.130 and to issue a Statement of Charges (SOC).  Anyone who has been notified that the Department is investigating him/her or who has been issued a Statement of Charges should consult with an experienced professional license defense attorney prior to contacting or responding to the Department.  Attorney Adam Scott has successfully defended many clients in DOL matters.  If you have received a Notice of Investigation or a Statement of Charges, contact Adam Scott today.
