You worked hard, for years - to build your career, your reputation. But now, you face disciplinary action that could jeopardize everything.

The disciplinary process can be daunting, but understanding it is key. In New York, complaints against professionals are typically filed with the relevant licensing board or committee. 1 For example, attorneys face the Attorney Grievance Committees, while doctors answer to the Office of Professional Medical Conduct. 15Once a complaint is filed, an investigation begins. You may be asked to respond, provide documents, or sit for an interview. 1 If the investigation finds merit, formal disciplinary charges could follow. From there, the process may involve hearings, presentations of evidence, and ultimately, a decision on discipline - which could range from a reprimand to license revocation. 15It's a complex, high-stakes process. Having an experienced attorney in your corner can be invaluable.Why Hire a Professional License Defense Lawyer?
