Cases we handle every day
Common examples, described in general terms. Each case depends on its own facts and documents.
Complaint by a patient or client
A dissatisfied patient or client files a complaint with the council. A well-prepared initial response, with the right documents, can lead to dismissal at the inquiry stage.
Ethics proceeding opened
The inquiry becomes an ethics proceeding. At this stage the written defense, the evidence and the witnesses come in, and every deadline must be met.
Social media advertising
A post or ad is questioned by the council. The defense analyzes the content under the advertising rules of the profession and seeks to avoid or reduce the penalty.
Penalty already imposed
The council imposed a warning, censure or suspension. You can still appeal and, if the proceeding was unlawful, take the decision to court.
Frequently asked questions about council proceedings
I received a notice from the council. What should I do?
Talk to a lawyer before replying. Deadlines are short, and what you write in your first filing becomes part of the record. Gather the notice, the complaint and the case documents.
Which councils do you handle?
All professional councils, such as CRM (medicine), CRO (dentistry), COREN (nursing), CRF (pharmacy), CRP (psychology), CREA (engineering), CRC (accounting) and the others, at regional and federal level.
What penalties can the council impose?
It depends on the law of each profession. In general, they range from a warning to suspension and, in the most serious cases, revocation of the license.
Is the council proceeding confidential?
In most councils, yes. Ethics proceedings are confidential, and the defense makes sure this is respected.
Can I keep working during the proceeding?
As a rule, yes. Only in serious situations can some councils suspend practice as a precautionary measure, and that measure can be challenged.
Do you handle professionals outside Goiás?
Yes. Service is online and our work covers councils throughout Brazil.
