South Carolina Professional Engineer and Surveyor Complaint Defense Attorneys
The South Carolina Professional Engineer and Surveyor Board regulates the practice of engineering and surveying in South Carolina. Whether you are currently licensed, or submit a bid to engage in work as an engineer or surveyor with the intent to obtain licensure before you begin work, you are subject to the South Carolina Practice Act and governing regulations. South Carolina law governing the practice of engineering and surveying is complex. Technical violations, including failure to maintain a Certificate of Authorization, are common.
Whether a complaint is initiated after disclosing information on an application or renewal, filed against you by a competitor, discovered and initiated by LLR, or you self-report, the professional license defense team at Turner Padget is here to assist you. Our statewide practice has decades of experience representing licensed professionals and are routinely hired by professional liability carriers to defend licensed professionals.
If you are under investigation by the South Carolina Professional Engineer and Surveyors, you have the right to speak with an attorney. Don’t make the mistake of speaking with an LLR investigator or attorney in the office of disciplinary counsel before consulting with a member of our team to discuss the process, your legal rights, and what to expect going forward. We also routinely provide assistance to licensees who are referred to, or participating in, the Recovering Professionals Program (RPP). Call us today speak directly with an attorney and to learn more about how we can help.
