In one case we were representing a chiropractor who was subject of a felony crime and imprisonment and we managed to get him suspension, followed by a probationary sentence so that he could return to his practice of chiropractic services even while under a criminal probation. We have also worked with chiropractors who have lost their license due to a criminal past and/or criminal convictions that have tried to regain it after a period of absence from practice.
