Engineering License Defense Attorneys
One complaint to the Minnesota Board of AELSLAGID can put your engineering license in immediate danger. The board investigates negligence, misuse of your seal or even off-duty issues quickly and thoroughly. A single proven violation can lead to fines, probation, suspension or permanent revocation of your engineering license.
Villaume & Schiek has protected licensed professionals across the Twin Cities, Minnesota, for decades from our Bloomington office near the Mall of America. We know the board members, the investigators and the administrative law judges who decide these cases. We use that insight to truly help our clients keep their engineering license and their careers.
Common Reasons Minnesota Engineers Face Disciplinary Action
The board receives complaints from clients, contractors, employers and the public. The most frequent causes that threaten an engineering license include:
- Professional negligence or substandard practice
- Improper use of the PE seal or title
- Falsifying qualifications or continuing-education records
- Practicing outside your scope or without a current engineering license
- Criminal convictions
- Substance abuse that affects work
- Failure to complete the required hours from an EAC-ABET-accredited program or approved provider
Each violation carries serious consequences. Our qualified lawyer understands Minnesota engineering regulations and can build your defense while you continue working.
Is It Better To Work With A Union Attorney Or A Private Attorney?
Some engineers belong to unions or professional associations that offer “free” legal help. Those attorneys answer to the union first. They often push for quick settlements that protect the group contract instead of fighting for your individual engineering license.
Our engineering license defense attorneys work only for you. We negotiate directly with the board, present mitigation evidence and take cases to a hearing when needed.
Keep Practicing The Profession You Earned
Your engineering license represents years of education, testing and professional development. Do not let one allegation take it away. When allegations threaten everything you have built in Minnesota, quick action matters.
