New York City Professional Licensing & Proceedings

Keep Your License & Uphold Your Reputation With a Professional Licensing Lawyer

Bernfeld, DeMatteo & Bernfeld, LLP has decades of experience defending New York professionals facing disciplinary hearings. A professional license is the authorization to practice and use a professional title in New York State. Your license is valid for life unless a disciplinary hearing states otherwise. Many of our professional licensing clients are fellow attorneys who trust us with the futures of their careers.

Disciplinary actions can disrupt a well-established career by resulting in:

  • Denial of a job or promotion
  • Suspension
  • Termination
  • Revocation

Any of these consequences can change what you do to earn your living. When you work with an experienced licensing lawyer, we protect your rights and livelihood because we know your professional license is essential to your occupation and ability to make a living.
