Frequently asked questions
My concealed weapon license was denied or suspended. Can I challenge it?
Yes. The Department's notice explains the reason and gives you a deadline to request a hearing. Many denials turn on how a past criminal case was resolved, which is often something that can be documented and corrected.
FDACS issued an administrative complaint against my pest control business. What are my options?
You can dispute the allegations at a formal hearing, present mitigation at an informal hearing, or negotiate a settlement. The right choice depends on the facts and on the deadline in your Election of Rights.
Do you help new businesses get licensed?
Yes. We assist with business licenses, qualifying individuals, and the individual credentials your employees need.
