How much will it cost to hire an attorney to help me through this process?

Most attorneys who practice this type of law can provide you with an estimate for your specific case. Also, attorneys may have alternative payment plans that may help you to retain legal counsel. Insurance companies may also provide for disciplinary defense benefits so that you can retain experienced counsel to help defend your license. So, when you talk to an attorney, ask about payment options, estimates, and by all means, discuss any insurance that is available. Remember, the least expensive attorney isn't always the best, especially if he or she is not familiar with this type of law or your type of case.
