Verdicts & Settlements

Professional Counselor License Application Denied for Insufficient Education — The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) denied a woman’s application to become a licensed professional counselor because she purportedly did not graduate from an approved master’s degree college program. We appealed the IDFPR’s denial to the circuit court, where we presented expert testimony to establish that she met all of the educational requirements for licensure. The circuit court reversed the IDFPR’s denial of her application, and she subsequently became licensed.
