Facts: TT retained Bertolino LLP to help them in applying for licensure. TT originally needed help in disclosing a prior DUI, but after looking into the issues more, Bertolino LLP also determined that further disclosures were necessary.
Outcome: Bertolino LLP drafted a supplemental disclosure of TE’s conviction and his termination from two programs and a termination of a prior license with another state agency. Bertolino LLP provided argument and evidence within the disclosure advising that the DUI was an isolated event and akin to a youthful indiscretion that TMB did not have authority over. Next, they explained that the terminations were both due to the same issue involving the DUI and the licensure was terminated as TT was no longer enrolled in either program. After analysis of the application, TMB issued TT licensure without restriction.
