Legal Question in Administrative Law in Massachusetts

health care lisence

I am a new grad from a 2 year program for respiratory care. i was arrested in 2007 for DUI. the case was continue without a finding. i applied for a student permit, and a question was on there that confused me. it asked me if i was convicted of any crime that held a fine of 100 dollars or more, i called the cori because i was not sure of what a continue without a finding meant. They said if i am not in trouble within the one year, the charges are no longer there. so i could answer no that question. when i finished college, and took the state boards, and passed, i was informed and preped on applying for my respiratory care lisence. i called the license board up, asked them this particular question. They told me not to hold anything back. i sent all documents they requested. The mistake i made was answering no of any convictions in 2007 for my student permit, but answered yes when applying for my lisence, where i had a better understanding of everything from the end of my college yrears. I was advised to get a lawyer, because the state of massachusetts takes this serious. i honestly made an error, and was educated towards the end of college. If they deny me a lisense, and i have to go under an apeal, what happens to my rights.

You should engage a lawyer, as this is your career at risk. The honesty of your mistake will be the issue, as well as your current moral fitness. Massachusetts does indeed take such matters seriously in professional licensing.
