LAWYERS FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST DEFENCE LAWYER

If one of your patients has filed a complaint with the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (“CMLTO”), then you need the assistance of a knowledgeable and skilled lawyer at your side. Posner Craig Stein LLP provides experienced representation to clients in proceedings before the CMLTO.

Being the subject of a patient complaint and facing allegations of professional misconduct can be anxiety-provoking, frustrating, and time-consuming. Entrusting PCS with your CMLTO case means having experienced lawyers for medical technologists at your side throughout the complaints and discipline process.

We understand the impact that complaints and misconduct allegations can have on your professional reputation and financial stability. Your livelihood may depend on ensuring the complaint is dismissed or that allegations of misconduct are not upheld.

Our professional discipline lawyers work tirelessly, creatively, and with focus. We also collaborate with a network of expert witnesses to support your defence and help navigate the CMLTO process effectively.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST INVESTIGATION LAWYER

PCS’s defence lawyers have extensive expertise in guiding clients through the investigatory stage of a CMLTO complaint and in assisting with CMLTO audits. The earlier a professional retains qualified legal counsel, the better the opportunity we have to protect your reputation, license, and livelihood.

As your medical technologist investigation lawyer, we work closely with you during an audit to ensure you are well prepared. In an investigation, we make sure the College receives all relevant information that demonstrates your competence and professionalism, helping position the complaint for early dismissal.

HEARINGS AT THE INQUIRIES, COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS COMMITTEE (“ICRC”)

PCS assists clients in preparing written submissions to the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“ICRC”) of the CMLTO. The ICRC reviews complaints and can refer a technologist to the Discipline Committee for a hearing, or impose alternative measures such as an in-person caution or a specialized continuing remediation and education program (“SCERP”).

Even when a referral to the Discipline Committee is avoided, SCERPs and cautions are published on the College’s online register and can result in reputational or financial harm. It is essential to consult with a CMLTO defence lawyer at this stage of the complaint process.

As medical case lawyers near you, PCS prepares clear, persuasive written submissions aimed at having the complaint dismissed. Early involvement can help protect your time, reputation, and ability to practise.

HEARINGS BEFORE THE DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

Hearings before the Discipline Committee involve hearing from witnesses, cross-examination, calling evidence, and making submissions before the panel. Our team of medical technologist defence lawyers has extensive expertise in these areas, developed over decades in tribunals and courtrooms across Ontario.

We bring a disciplined, trial-informed approach to every case. Carefully calibrated and effective cross-examination of witnesses called by the prosecution can result in a dismissal of professional misconduct charges. The key to success is extensive preparation, skillful and targeted questioning, and the experience to adapt to the witness’s answers as they come. Our defence lawyers bring these skills and attributes to your defence.

PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT LAWYER FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS

If you are subject to a regulatory complaint, it is essential to work with an experienced professional misconduct lawyer for medical technologists. Posner Craig Stein LLP advises and defends clients with a legal approach tailored to the expectations of your profession and the procedural rules of your governing body.

MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGIST LAWYER

Our role as your medical laboratory technologist lawyer includes supporting you through complaint response, evidence preparation, and representation at all stages of the process.

CMLTO DEFENCE LAWYER

As a CMLTO defence lawyer, we represent medical laboratory technologists during audits, investigations, and hearings. We focus on resolving complaints promptly and presenting a clear, credible response.

RADIATION IMAGING TECHNOLOGIST LAWYER

As your radiation imaging technologist lawyer, we help you respond to allegations clearly and professionally, while protecting your ability to practise under CMRITO regulations.

CMRITO DEFENCE LAWYER

PCS acts as a CMRITO defence lawyer for radiation imaging technologists facing regulatory proceedings. We assist with written submissions and prepare for panel hearings, focusing on outcomes and reputation.

APPEALS TO THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS APPEAL AND REVIEW BOARD (HPARB)

If the ICRC has issued a decision that is unfair or unreasonable, medical technologists can appeal to the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB). These appeals involve a close review of the ICRC record, written legal submissions, and, in some cases, oral argument before the panel.

PCS acts for clients as a CMRITO defence lawyer or radiation imaging technologist lawyer, applying the same level of precision and strategy used in courtroom appeals. Our team identifies reviewable errors and prepares persuasive submissions aimed at achieving a better outcome.

Strong written advocacy is critical to success at HPARB. PCS brings years of experience drafting submissions for regulatory tribunals and courts, including the Divisional Court, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, and the Supreme Court of Canada. We are prepared to represent your case with clarity and impact.

JUDICIAL REVIEW AT THE DIVISIONAL COURT

If HPARB declines to set aside a decision of the ICRC, defendants may seek judicial review at the Divisional Court of Ontario. Decisions of the Discipline Committee can also be reviewed by the Court. These proceedings involve a detailed review of the record, the preparation of written legal arguments, and oral submissions before a panel of Ontario Superior Court judges.

PCS’s medical technologist defence lawyers have experience arguing before the Divisional Court. We carefully examine the legal and procedural issues at play and pursue every available ground to challenge the outcome. Our approach focuses on identifying reviewable errors and presenting them through clear, well-reasoned advocacy. We work to protect your reputation, your licence, and your ability to continue practising in your profession.
