I am the KEY to unlocking a California professional license. With a degree from University California, Santa Barbara, and a law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, I understand the nuances of California criminal courts and licensing boards.
As a criminal defense attorney, I spent 20 years defending my clients’ liberty --- only to find that they were facing additional jeopardy when their professional licenses -- and livelihood – were at stake. After handling thousands of cases I realized that defendants were not being made aware of the collateral consequences that came with a criminal conviction – namely possible loss of license and livelihood.
Today, I dedicate my practice to defending Californians whose professional licenses are at risk for any reason. I represent nurses, physician assistants, engineers, accountants, teachers, caregivers, real estate professionals, and even locksmiths, and anyone who is threatened with a criminal charge, or by their licensing board. I stand in front of the courts and their boards and handle the collateral consequence of one bad choice.
CRIMINAL HISTORY DOES NOT HAVE TO LOCK OUT A LICENSE We clean up our client’s past and open the door for them to pursue their chosen career path.
A LICENSEE DOES NOT HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVELIHOOD MY clients feel like they are behind bars when their licensing Board threatens to take away their professional license. We are the key to setting them free.
A FORMER LICENSEE IS NOT BARRED FROM THEIR FUTURE Losing or surrendering their license does not have to be the end. We break down the barriers that hold back, and my clients begin again.
My firm, Unlock Legal, was created with professionals in mind. We unlock your license.

Miranda went above and beyond to help resolve my case. She was attentive, hard working, and extremely thorough from our initial consultation. I would highly recommend Miranda McCroskey!
RASHAD A.
Miranda and her team are very professional and responsive. They patiently worked with us until the case was resolved. I would definitely seek her help in future. Great company, great team, great service.

I wanted to reach out to thank you and let you know that I am very grateful for your professional help. Prior to you, I had called and spoke with a handful of other attorneys but they either felt that my case wasn’t worthwhile or wanted to charge thousands of dollars. As a student, your affordable service allowed me to continue my pursuit towards helping people as a future pharmacist. And today, I was able to take another step closer towards that goal. I found out through the California Board of Pharmacy’s website that I am officially a Pharmacist Intern. Again, thank you very much for your service. I will definitely keep you in mind.

THAT IS FANTASTIC NEWS! Just what I needed to hear on this day. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. Especially, the compassion and extra mile you’ve gone to help me with this case.
