Abstract
Professional license defense attorneys have a difficult job, and one of the more difficult things to do is not only to recommend to a client to consent to a disciplinary Order but also to explain to them that the Order is only the tip of the iceberg; there are many potential consequences far beyond the Order, many of which involve vague potential harm. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the effects of disciplinary action by a licensing agency beyond the sanction agreed to or imposed on a licensee.
