Facts: SR hired Bertolino LLP to defend him against a complaint filed with the Texas Department of State Health Services by his former employer. The complainant made accusations that SR had violated state law, and Department rules in connection with his work as a paramedic. These allegations threatened SR’s professional reputation and exposed him to potential discipline from the Department.
Outcome: Bertolino LLP evaluated SR’s facts and circumstances, assessed the applicable law and we compiled the necessary documents, arguments and evidence to fight against the accusations and show the Department that his former employer’s complaint ought to be dismissed. Bertolino LLP’s legal team developed a well-written response demonstrating the complaint did not support disciplinary action. The Department investigated, considered our submission and agreed to dismiss the charges with a non-disciplinary warning, taking no action against our client’s license as a paramedic. This allowed SR to return to taking care of his patients and rest easy, knowing his license was safe.
