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.

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.
