I don't know anyone in AZ but will keep my ears open. What's your lawyer situation?

Thanks for sharing the story. Mine is similar in that it involves a drug-related criminal charge though somewhat complicated because the initial felony charges were dropped and no new charges were ever initiated. (Though, it is too early to pursue expungement, as only 15 months have passed). I am a nurse practitioner and prescriber which is why my story is different. I have not yet heard from the board about my prescriber license, yet keep in mind that I have TWO other licenses: controlled dangerous substance and DEA licenses, which I have to work on getting back with a separate lawyer. Anyway, my prescriber license is coming up for renewal in July. Lawyer is suggesting that it will be then (basically when I will be renewing) that they will use the time to address the issue and determine my punishment, i.e. whether my license will be suspended, under stipulation, etc and assign me to their rehab program. I'm just so surprised how long it has taken for the BON to process this. Meanwhile, I have not practiced since the time of the crime (Sept 2015).
