Fines and penalties
Administrative Law
When an agency holds you back for no reason
A denied permit or an unfair penalty can stop your business overnight.
State agencies have the power to impose penalties, deny permits or demand requirements, but that power isn't unlimited: it must respect due process. Often a company receives a fine or a closure without being given the chance to defend itself as the law requires, and that's where an appeal is possible. The most common mistake is letting the deadline to object pass because nobody explained that window existed. Once it expires, the decision becomes final even if it was unfair. Here we review the administrative act that affects you, check whether the correct procedure was followed, and prepare the appropriate appeal before it's too late.
We help you with this:
