You may file a complaint with the board that is responsible for each profession. DORA will evaluate and investigate your complaint by contacting you and the licensee to obtain more information. After the investigation, if the board believes that the licensee may have violated the laws of that profession, the board will refer the case to the Attorney General's office for prosecution in an administrative hearing process. The licensee is entitled to a notice of charges and a hearing before an administrative law judge. If the judge finds a violation, then the board may discipline the licensee in the form of a letter of admonition, probation, suspension for a set period of time, or in extreme cases, revocation of the license to practice.
Licensees often settle the case by agreeing to discipline instead of taking the case to a hearing.
If you have a complaint, you must file it with the board regulating that particular profession.
