Administrative Enforcement Actions
What is Administrative Law?
Administrative Law refers to the federal and state regulations that give rise to agency enforcement actions. Violating agency rules can lead to significant penalties, fines, and the suspension or revocation of professional licenses and permits.
Administrative Hearings
Disputes between private citizens/businesses and government agencies are resolved at administrative hearings. Administrative hearings are less formal than a typical courtroom setting. The rules of evidence are more relaxed. However, this informal nature does not mean you should take it lightly.

Enforcement Actions
Regulatory agencies have accumulated vast power to make, enforce, and interpret the law—often without serious oversight. Every year, unelected bureaucrats issue thousands of new regulations. Many of these regulations provide for the imposition of significant fines and penalties while providing little in the way of due process. These regulations are enforced through cease and desist letters and publicly filed enforcement actions.
