Professional License Defense

Our attorneys are experienced in representing New York professionals in the investigatory and disciplinary process. We have represented professionals in numerous investigatory interviews and administrative hearings. We are experienced in negotiating favorable terms with prosecutors representing OPD or the BPMC. Our representation does not end with discipline. We know the effects a discipline will have with third party payors and continue to represent our clients with regard to the aftermath of the discipline. We are proud that our clients remain with us for years afterward and the majority have returned to full and rewarding careers following a discipline by BPMC or OPD.
