James B. Goldberg & Associates - Lincolnshire, IL

At James B. Goldberg & Associates, we are a distinguished law firm based in Chicago, Illinois, concentrating on two critical areas: Professional Licensing matters before the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and complex Criminal Defense cases. Our firm is uniquely positioned to defend your professional license and safeguard your future with the experience, strategy, and care these high-stakes matters demand.

Our team includes former prosecutors from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, former Cook County State’s Attorneys and seasoned professional license lawyers who have been advocating in this area since the 1980s. With deep institutional knowledge of IDFPR laws and regulations, the Medical Practice Act, the Nurse Practice Act and internal IDFPR processes, we bring strategic insight and relentless advocacy to every case.

Whether you are facing an IDFPR complaint, threatened with physician discipline, undergoing nurse discipline, or involved in a professional license application denial or delay, our attorneys know how to navigate the complexities of the Illinois Board’s regulatory framework. We also handle cases involving professional discipline for other licensed professionals, including dentists, pharmacists and therapists.

Your professional license isn’t just a credential, it represents your career, financial stability and reputation. As experienced IDFPR defense attorneys, we understand the emotional toll and professional risk that comes with defending your license. Our role is to help you through this process with clarity, precision and unwavering support. We routinely represent individuals who need a trusted attorney that is capable of handling professional license defense matters.

Whether you are a physician, nurse, or other licensed professional, we help defend your license with IDFPR and protect your professional standing.

In addition to professional license defense, we provide robust representation in criminal defense matters, including federal criminal cases, healthcare-related fraud investigations and other criminal charges that may directly impact your licensing status. Because IDFPR proceedings often stem from or run parallel to criminal allegations, our integrated approach ensures that both legal fronts are addressed cohesively.

We also assist clients with family law matters, recognizing that personal legal challenges can affect your professional life.

We believe in preparation, compassion and total commitment. Our approach is client-centered, ensuring you have peace of mind while we handle the legal complexities. By focusing our practice on professional license defense and criminal law, we remain current on evolving IDFPR regulations, disciplinary procedures and court decisions that may influence your case.

Our commitment extends beyond individual cases to building lasting relationships with our clients. We strive to be the legal advocates you can trust when your professional future hangs in the balance, providing both skilled representation and compassionate support throughout the legal process. If you are under investigation, have received a notice from the Illinois Board, or have questions about your professional license application, don’t wait. Contact Goldberg and his team today to speak with an experienced professional license lawyer who understands what’s at stake: your livelihood and your future.
