Dentist’s career saved with representation from Kings View

Our client, NS, approached us with respect to a long investigation conducted by the General Dental Council (GDC).

There were various elements of alleged misleading and dishonest conduct. Commenting on the case, fitness to practise defence barrister, and joint-head of chambers, Stephen McCaffrey, said:

“The case was complex for many reasons, and we guided NS through the process and represented her at the Principal hearing and the General Dental Council.

 

“Removal from the register was almost inevitable – it always it with multiple dishonesty allegations.

 

“However, with our plan, implemented over a number of years, we managed to obtain a short suspension. It was a fantastic result in all the circumstances and NS was extremely pleased with the outcome and her career was saved.”

Speaking at the conclusion of their case, NS said:

“By far the best barrister I have ever come across. Truly believed in me and got me the best outcome possible. I would give 10 stars if I could. I would like to thank Stephen so much from the bottom of my heart as this was the most difficult period throughout my life, so thank you.”
