GUIDING YOU FROM START TO FINISH.
When your career, license, or reputation is on the line, you don’t need a lecture — you need a defense. At Hartenstein Poor & Foster, we step in when the system is stacked against professionals, businesses, and individuals facing regulatory action or administrative scrutiny.
We represent clients in:
-
Professional licensure defense – protecting doctors, nurses, lawyers, financial professionals, and others whose livelihoods are threatened.
-
Administrative and regulatory hearings – from disciplinary boards to state and federal agencies.
-
White collar and economic crime matters – including fraud, securities, and consumer protection cases.
-
Business and financial disputes – involving banks, securities, and corporate compliance.
WE BRING HEAVY HITTERS TO THE TABLE.
Our team doesn’t just know the law — we know how government works, because we’ve been inside it.
-
Scott B. Poor is a former Assistant Attorney General and corporate counsel to a NASDAQ-listed company, with board-level insight into banking and finance.
-
Sarah M. Foster is a former prosecutor who took on complex consumer protection and fraud cases.
-
Eric A. Hartenstein brings executive experience in the aviation industry, giving him firsthand perspective on how high-stakes business decisions intersect with regulatory action.
Why That Matters.
Administrative and licensure cases are never just about rules — they’re about people’s futures. We know how agencies investigate, how regulators think, and how disciplinary boards make their calls. That insider knowledge, paired with real-world business experience, means we don’t waste time with guesswork. We cut through the red tape, push back when regulators overreach, and fight for outcomes that protect your career and your name.
At HPF, we don’t just manage damage — we defend reputations, preserve livelihoods, and keep the system honest.
