For Inquiries or Complaints Against Licensed Professionals 

Many state and non-profit agencies license or register members of various professions, including doctors, plumbers, electricians, car repair shops, employment agencies, beauticians, etc.

If you contact a licensing agency about a complaint, the agency may contact the professional on your behalf and, if necessary, might conduct an investigation and take disciplinary action against the professional. This action can include probation, license suspension or revocation.
