Indiana Professional Licensing Defense

Protecting Your License & Career with the Indiana PLA

If you're a licensed professional in Indiana and the Professional Licensing Agency (PLA) has contacted you about a complaint, investigation, or possible disciplinary action, your career could be at risk. At Callahan Law Firm, we represent professionals from a wide range of industries—healthcare, engineering, real estate, construction, and more—when their licenses are on the line.

We know how much you’ve invested in your career, and we’re here to help you protect it.

What Is the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA)?

The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA) oversees licensing and enforcement for dozens of professions across the state. It works with various licensing boards—like the Medical Licensing Board, State Board of Accountancy, Board of Pharmacy, and many others—to issue licenses, investigate complaints, and enforce disciplinary action when necessary.

If you’re licensed in Indiana, the PLA is the agency that can suspend or revoke your license if they believe you've violated professional standards. Professions regulated by the PLA include:

The PLA holds professionals to strict ethical, legal, and performance standards. If a complaint is filed against you, the agency has broad authority to investigate, audit, or take disciplinary action—including fines, probation, license suspension, or revocation.

How the PLA Handles Complaints and Disciplinary Actions

When the PLA receives a complaint about a licensed professional, the process usually unfolds in several steps:

1. Review and Investigation

The PLA begins by reviewing the complaint. If it moves forward, investigators may collect records, contact you for a statement, and speak with witnesses or other parties. This step can feel informal, but it’s the beginning of a serious legal process.

2. Informal Communication or Meeting

You might receive a letter or phone call from the PLA—or be asked to attend an informal meeting. It’s important to have an attorney involved early, as anything you say can be used in the case.

3. Formal Charges and Hearing

If the agency decides there’s been a violation, they may file formal charges. You’ll receive notice of a hearing before the appropriate professional board, where your license and reputation will be on the line.

4. Possible Outcomes

The PLA can impose a wide range of penalties, including:

  • Fines or civil penalties

  • License probation or restrictions

  • Required continuing education or counseling

  • Suspension or full revocation of your license

At any stage of the process, an experienced defense attorney can help negotiate a resolution or fight the charges in a hearing.

Medical License Defense in Indiana

If you’re a physician, nurse, pharmacist, or other healthcare provider, being investigated by the PLA or your licensing board can be career-changing. Healthcare professionals face unique risks—both legally and professionally—when disciplinary action is on the table. At Callahan Law Firm, we defend Indiana medical professionals facing:

  • Claims of patient neglect or malpractice

  • Substance use or addiction concerns

  • Unprofessional conduct or boundary violations

  • Criminal charges (including DUI or drug offenses)

  • Improper prescribing or documentation issues

  • Medical billing or insurance fraud investigations

Even small allegations can lead to serious consequences if they’re not handled the right way. We’ll work with you to respond effectively, protect your license, and preserve your ability to practice.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Sheila for her outstanding support and expertise in helping us establish our home care agency in Chicago. Her contributions were crucial to our success, and I believe her skills could be of immense value to you as well.

Sheila played a pivotal role in navigating the complex regulatory landscape, including the intricate Department of Health and Department of Aging applications (over 100 pages long in paperwork). Her deep knowledge of industry regulations and compliance requirements allowed her to streamline what is typically a multi-year process into a remarkably efficient few months.

Her well-written, thorough, and resourceful approach ensured that we met all necessary requirements and obtained our license without any hitches. We pride ourselves on our organizational skills, but Sheila’s involvement was a game-changer for us.

"Patrick was my attorney in my licensing issues with the state of Illinois and again with credentialing for BCBSIL. He was very attentive, available and hard-working, getting results from the IDFPR as quickly as possible. He understood what a grueling process this was for me and worked hard to get me practicing again. I'm very grateful to him and his support staff."
