The Stakes of Professional Misconduct Allegations
New York State requires licensed professionals to adhere to strict standards defined by law and regulation. Allegations of misconduct, whether meritless or substantiated, can lead to:
- License suspension or revocation.
- Disciplinary measures affecting your ability to practice.
- Damage to your professional reputation and earning potential.
Any inquiry or investigation should be addressed immediately and seriously with the help of experienced legal counsel.
Comprehensive Defense for Licensed Professionals
We represent a wide range of professionals regulated by entities such as the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC), the Committee on Professional Standards, and the New York State Office of the Professions (OPD). Our clients include:
- Medical professionals (physicians, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, etc.).
- Legal professionals (attorneys, paralegals).
- Engineers, architects, and interior designers.
- Accountants, social workers, mental health counselors, and many others.
Our proven legal team understands the unique challenges faced by professionals and has the expertise to address both the nuances of professional standards and the broader implications for your career.
The Investigation Process: Act Quickly
Professional misconduct cases often begin with an investigation by the OPD or other regulatory body. Investigators may contact you via letter or unannounced call, seeking to discuss allegations. If you are contacted:
- Do not speak with investigators without legal counsel.
- Contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
Our attorneys provide the strongest defense when retained early in the investigation, before formal charges are filed.
Resolving Misconduct Cases
If charges are formally filed, we advocate aggressively on your behalf, working to:
- Negotiate resolutions before hearings, where possible.
- Present a strong case during disciplinary hearings to contest charges.
- Protect your license, reputation, and career from unwarranted or excessive penalties.
Our extensive experience ensures we know how to navigate the unique procedures and rules governing professional misconduct cases.
