The Disciplinary Process in New York: What to Expect
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.
