Can you hire an attorney to help you with a NYPD Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD)?
The simple answer is yes.
The NYPD will interview psychologically disqualified Police Officer candidates who have received a NOPD, after the candidate has been evaluated by an independent psychologist and their psychologist has submitted an expert report on their behalf.
If you hire an attorney to prepare you for the upcoming NOPD interview, your chances of having a successful appeal will greatly increase. At times, these interviews morph into interrogations, and proper preparation will help you handle any harsh questioning.
It is very important that you speak with an expert prior to receiving an oral psychological interview.
I would recommend hiring a civil service attorney from the first disqualification you receive, so that you are prepared and can get the best results in your appeal.
As a civil service disqualification appeals attorney with more than 18 years of experience, I have extensive knowledge on how to appeal a NYPD Disqualification. Over the years I have helped many clients win their appeal. I can help you too.
