Probation Details 

The Florida Department of Financial Services made a decision to place Allan Tentler under probation pursuant to section 626.691, Florida Statutes, following a prior license revocation by the State of California Department of Insurance.

License Revocation by The State of California Department of Insurance 

On May 13, 2013, the State of California Department of Insurance found that there was a significant basis to revoke Allen Tentler’s license. The revocation stems from allegations that he failed to timely disclose a 2011 misdemeanor conviction, violating California Insurance Code Section 1729.2(A) And 1729.2(D).  

The State of California also fined Allan Tentler $1,034. The department ordered Allan Tentler to pay a monetary penalty of $750 and a $284 examination fee. He was issued a restricted license that requires him to obey all laws, but which does not in any way impact his ability to continue to engage in the business of selling insurance.
