New York(NY) Healthcare License Defense Lawyer

Healthcare professionals in New York are comprised of a number of different types of occupations. There are nurses, doctors, chiropractors, physicians assistants, dentists, and other types of medical field professionals. All of these positions are licensed and are not allowed to provide their healthcare services without a clean license. People who have not gone through the years of work and expense in obtaining the necessary schooling and qualifications to gain such a license can not comprehend how hard it is to earn this right and privilege to practice medicine.

Sadly, it is all too possible for these tireless medical professionals’ reputations, careers, and livelihoods to all be hanging by a thread if they become accused of professional or personal misconduct by their board of licensing. These are dark and difficult times for medical professionals, which is why in this desperate hour they should seek out skillful attorneys to assist in the defense of their professional licenses so that they can proceed ahead with their careers and service in the profession.

Whose Licenses in the Medical Field Are At Risk of Being Revoked?

It is not merely doctors and physician assistants whose licenses can be put at risk by such allegations and disciplinary proceedings. Other medical field personnel such as dentists, nurses, chiropractors, physical therapists, mental health professionals, pharmacists, and still other licensed medical professionals all practice at the mercy of their respective licensing boards. These boards include the:

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.

Specific Complaints That Can Threaten a New York Healthcare License

Unfortunately, there are so very many different professional and personal accusations that can ruin the career and cost a provider the license upon which he or she depends to live and work. Some of these are charges are criminal and some are not. Among the criminal, potentially career-ending allegations are private insurance carrier fraud, government healthcare fraud with Medicare and medicaid, no-fault fraud, drinking while driving, drugs and alcohol use and addiction, abuse of patients, sexual misconduct and crimes, and still more. In these cases, the accused medical professionals will need more than simply license defense, they will also require legal and criminal defense to avoid possible loss of freedom in the form of extensive jail time.

NY OPMC Defense Lawyers – NY OPD Defense Lawyers

The Offices That Threaten Healthcare Licenses in New York

OPMC Office – Doctors and Physicians Assistants

The Office of Professional Medical Conduct, or OPMC, is a division of the New York state Department of Health. Their purpose and practice lies in investigating and disciplining doctors and physicians assistants who carry a New York state license for any incidents of professional misconduct. When a doctor finds himself or herself under an official OPMC investigation, that professional is at serious risk of suffering a disciplinary action that could negatively and permanently impact his or her professional reputation and career as well as ability to make a living. Any doctors or physician assistants who find themselves in this particular predicament should seek our professional, reliable, and experienced legal counsel who can demonstrate a solid and successful track record in representing doctors and physicians assistants before the OPMC board.

OPD Office and Nurses

In the state of New York, the Office of Professional Discipline, or OPD, is the board charged with supervising Registered Nurses and Licensed Professional Nurses. This Office is a division of the department of New York State Education. OPD has the authority and mandate to investigate and initiate disciplinary proceedings for any uncovered or reported professional misconduct engaged in by nurses.

Any nurse who finds herself or himself under investigation by the OPD must realize that the license which enables the practice of their trade and the associated employment with it are both in dire jeopardy. The best defense is a good offense with a capable attorney who is experienced in handling cases of nursing misconduct that range from alcohol and drug abuse, to negligence of patients and duties, to unauthorized practice, to failure to properly document activities and procedures. Such a lawyer is able to safeguard a license and rights of a nurse to practice medicine.

Services Offered by a New York OPD Lawyer

New York healthcare license defense attorneys have spent years of their lives defending providers of medicine and healthcare in general. They get how easy it can be for hard working, innocent, and honest individuals to be falsely accused. This does not change the fact that it is also entirely too easy to lose the license that took these professionals literally years to obtain. Such lawyers have great expertise in helping healthcare professionals under review in all of the following capacities:

1. Getting and Keeping the Medical License

Obtaining a professional medical license is one thing, but keeping it is another thing altogether. Dependable healthcare defense lawyers have experience in helping medical professionals to maintain their licenses. There are many different regulations that govern a medical person keeping this license over the years. Professional legal counsel can help to make sure a license is not lost through simply missing a continuing education or career requirement a number of years after a license has been obtained.

2. Defending Against Investigations and Disciplinary Actions of the OPD and OPMC Boards

It is most important that medical professionals seek out legal help and counsel as soon as they are aware of any unfolding investigation by either the Office of Professional Discipline or the Office of Professional Medical Conduct. When they become involved in the action early on, lawyers are often able to ward off trouble that might cause the medical license to be lost.

In the cases where disciplinary action has already begun, good lawyers can help to deliver a powerful defense of the accused medical professionals. They realize that a derogatory outcome of these hearings could lead to the revocation of the professional’s medical license, which would spell the end of that person’s medical career and livelihood.

3. Reapplying for a Suspended or Revoked Medical License

At the point where a medical license has been suspended or revoked already, it is not an easy thing to re-obtain it. Expert medical license lawyers are well aware of the ways and means that are necessary for medical professionals to successfully reapply for their license. These attorneys assist medical professionals in getting back their lost licenses in order for them to restore their damaged careers in the medical field.
