* Unable to
compare NCMS Membership in Legal & Negligence categories due to the small
number of members with issues recorded on the NCMB public sites.
** Numerous situations exist in which poor data is available on the website, making it difficult to come up with an idea of whether NCMB action was harsh/appropriate/lenient. That being said, from statements by and interviews of licensees who have signed consent orders, the consent orders on the website are more often than not heavily slanted in the favor of the NCMB and against the licensee; Òfindings of factÓ in the Consent Order are more aptly described as Òfindings of fictionÓ!
