Professional License Defense Lawyers

If you’re a licensed professional, it requires you to adhere to a set of responsibilities, in addition to forcing you to adhere to conduct and obligations to follow accepted standards. Failure to perform, according to the requirements, is considered a professional misconduct, and when proven, results in disciplinary action. Any disciplinary inquiry, even if it’s without merit, must be dealt with seriously.

The Spodek Law Group can help

Regardless of what type of professional license you have, we can help. The conduct of doctors, doctors of osteopathy, physician assistants, nurses, architects, and more, are regulated by the state authorities. For example, the conduct of medical professionals is regulated by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct.

Most other professions in New York, are regulated by the NY State Office of the Professions. For many professions, the OPD investigates, prosecutes, and handles all allegations of professional misconduct.

We Provide Legal Defense for Professionals

Professional misconduct cases begin with an investigation by OPD. Investigators will send you a letter, or ask for a call, to discuss the allegations. Often, an investigator will cold call you and attempt to discuss an ethically questionable situation with you. Regardless of how they do it, you shouldn’t speak to OPD without an attorney. You have the right to legal representation, and it’s important to have an attorney at the very beginning of the legal investigation. The Spodek Law Group is here to protect our clients during an investigation, and before, an investigator has had a chance to build a case against you.

Once the investigation is done, formal charges might be recommended by the investigator to the Board. If the Board accepts the recommendation, formal charges are initiated, and the matter is submitted to the OPD prosecutor. These prosecutors are attorneys who are specialists in creating a case to present to the Board. Prior to the hearing, it’s possible to reach a resolution.

Once the charges are brought, you critically need a professional to negotiate for you. As a licensed professional, you only have one chance to earn, and retain, your professional license. Don’t go it alone, hire a professional attorney to help you.

I was hesitant to hire the Spodek Law Group. I read reviews and knew they have a great reputation. However, I thought I would spend money and not see or speak to my attorney. From the beginning to end of my case Todd and the entire staff were available and willing to help. We worked towards and end result that was way above my expectation and Todd delivered. I am forever grateful for patience and long days and night spent working on my case. Thanks Todd and the entire team!

My attorney at Spodek was Abigail. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and concerns, as well as responsive. Her fees are affordable and Abigail took the time to make sure I understood everything relating to my case. I highly recommend Abigail and will request her services in the future.

I'm very satisfied with the services rendered by Todd, Alex and Mary Lou. I whole heartedly recommend Spodek Law Group . I've worked with and have retained other attorneys in the past with Todd's firm being the cream of the crop for many reasons. A very serious legal matter was resolved after a year's hard work and effort. Todd expertly guided me through the process and was able to navigate and make the good journey bearable as well as successful. Mary Lou initially provided excellent assistance before referring my case to Todd. Alex's support was effective and timely. The customer portal (MyCase) is an invaluable communication tool that also kept track of my case. Various aspects of my case were explained and there were several options provided but I made the final decision of how the case would be handled. The legal fee was reasonable considering the effort and amount of work plus it was a flat fee regardless of the length of time required to conclude my case. Todd made himself available to me and we had many scheduled meetings to go over the progress and to discuss the next steps. I felt more confident after many discussions with him. You will not go wrong choosing Spodek Law Group for legal matters.

Being that it was the first time that I was in need of an attorney, I was afraid and hesitant and knew I needed the absolute best. It is beyond understood why Spodek Law Group has a reputation of being the top, if not the best law firm in New York. Alex and Abigail were there every step of the way even at the most unconvenient hours. I could not have asked for more. They are extremely good at what they do and they delivered much much more than just winning my case. A big thank you to Alex and Abigail for all the guidance and counseling and their upmost loyal support that extended far more than just legally. If you need the absolute best than don't hesitate to hire Spodek Law Firm.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Todd and Alex for their hard work and dedication to my case. I had never been in any trouble before but I had an unfortunate event occur and in the midst of COVID-19 at that therefore I knew I needed a team that was dedicated to my success. Today- my case has been finalized and I’m walking away with no record and can continue life as a mother and a Grad student worry free. I cannot express enough gratitude for their assistance.
