A: This may be something that most Criminal Defense attorneys and Health Care Law attorneys (categories chosen for the post) do not casually deal with on a regular basis. It may be more along the lines of professional licensing. You could try reposting under Education Law, which might be a closer category. You could also start with research of your own.

If you get to the point of needing an attorney, you will have at least familiarized yourself with the requirements for licensing.

Good luck
