Putting Experience On Your Side

We have over five years of experience interacting with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). We are familiar with the purpose and general position of the department on disciplinary licensure matters. Over the years, we have developed a rapport with the department attorneys. We understand the administrative process and department rulings. We believe this professional approach and knowledge has gotten us favorable results for our clients.

If you receive an investigative letter or a formal complaint from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), we strongly suggest you immediately contact Bell & Shah, LLC. You need an attorney who will effectively represent you. In many circumstances, the matter can be resolved through a consent order after an informal conference with the department attorney and professional board members. In other situations, an evidentiary hearing where we present our case before an administrative law judge may be necessary. Whether you are facing suspension, revocation, probation, fines and penalties, or an administrative warning, we will fight to obtain the best outcome for your particular situation.
