Our New York medical license defense lawyers are experienced in representing New York physicians charged with state and federal crimes. In New York, a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor. Even a relatively simple charge involving shoplifting or marijuana possession may result in a disciplinary action and cost the licensee an exorbitant amount of money and even a medical career.

If you are a New York physician and are investigated or arrested for any criminal act, you must consult with a criminal defense attorney with experience of defending physicians in disciplinary actions. We are proud to have developed the very special professional niche we are experienced in both criminal defense and medical disciplinary proceedings. This blend allows us to better understand the legal issues involved. Our expertise will provide you with a clear knowledge of practical consequences of convictions and pleas. When taking a plea bargain is acceptable and even desirable for most criminal defendants, it is not always the case when the defendant is a physician.

Once a physician is convicted of a crime or enters into a plea agreement, the New York State Probation Department will send this information to the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) for further disciplinary action.
