Restoring a Revoked Medical License: A Challenging but Possible Journey
Losing your medical license is almost similar to losing your life. This is because you have spent your whole life planning to achieve one goal which is to become a doctor. Therefore, losing your medical license represents losing many years of sweat, tears, and blood. However, a license revocation is not yet the end of the world. It is almost just the end of the world because you have the opportunity to restore your license. In case your medical license has been revoked, the law dictates that you should stay for at least three years without practicing until your license is restored.
The Process of Re-applying for a Medical License
After the three years have lapsed, you can re-apply to get your license reinstated. You can find the application form online. However, you will need to send additional documents with your letter of application and $750 to the State Department of Health. If you are a physician, you will send your application to the Department of Education. In such a case you need five witnesses and three of them should have a similar degree to yours. This means if you are an MD, you need three MDs. You can have five MDs, but you will also need five affidavits to attest the reason as to why you should have your license back.
Re-applying is not as simple as it may sound. You should be aware of how the Board of Regents thinks before you attempt to re-apply to have your license restored. The Board will only restore your medical license if it finds any reason that is compelling enough to grant your application after comparing your misconduct or the reason that led to the revocation of your license. You should understand that it is not a right in the constitution to have your license restored even after the three years have lapsed. Instead, it is a privilege that can either be permitted or denied by the state depending on the nature of your case. The only way to get your license restored is by struggling to persuade the Board to restore your license back.
Factors Considered by the Judges in Restoring a Medical License
The judges who are handling your case will look at your situation in every aspect before they make a decision on whether to reinstate your license or not. However, the main thing that the judges will be looking for is a sign of repentance on the matter that led to your license being revoked. Therefore, do not begin your re-application by arguing that the panel was wrong by revoking your license. Remember you already argued your case in court and lost. This time try and be on their best side.
If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence.Thank you team!
I recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.
The judges will also look into the matter that led to the revocation of your license and determine whether there are any chances of such a misconduct occurring again in the future. This mostly happens in a case of sexual misconduct or substance abuse. You should keep in mind that the judges are always protective of patients and they will only recommend that your license to be restored if you convince them that such a case will not happen again in the future. To convince the board to restore your license seek for help and rehabilitate yourself to prove that you are a changed person. This will assure the judges that you will not pause as a risk to the general public if your license is restored.
The other major problem is to convince the board that you are still competent to proceed with your practice from where you left three years ago. You need to provide substantial evidence that you have kept up with the practice. In a nutshell, you should provide proof that while you were away you had been learning despite having your license revoked. This determination will go a long way to convincing the board. However, you cannot prove that you attended any CME courses before you have submitted your application. After your application, the hearing can be scheduled after a few months. This can be from six to twelve months. Therefore, within this time you can attend CME courses.
Preparing for the License Restoration Process
Providing proof to the board to have your license restored is not an easy task. You need to prepare adequately for you to win. This means that you should start working to have your license restored immediately after it has been revoked. The board will make a judgment based on your seriousness to have your license restored after you have made significant efforts to correct the reason that caused the revocation. You have to assure the judges through your actions that you will not revert to such actions or behaviors.
While your practice is a big part of your life, the process of having your license restored is undoubtedly difficult. Therefore, ensure that you have provided yourself with the best opportunity of restoring your license by talking to an experienced medical license revocation attorney in New Jersey. Lawyers who are conversant with medical license restoration laws will provide you with sound advice that can help you win your case. Ensure that you have your attorney present throughout the hearing. The hearing takes anywhere from half the day to a full day before the judges make a decision. If the panel recommends that your license can be restored, an extensive administrative trail follows and your attorney can be of great help. However, after they recommend, then it will become easier for you to have your license back.
Having a license restored is a difficult case because most likely the reason that led to your license being revoked was very unpleasant. However, it can be dealt with occasionally if only you prove that you have changed your ways. You stand an opportunity to have your license restored if you consult a qualified medical lawyer who has experience in license restoration.
