Police Officer Disqualification Appeals Attorney

I understand that becoming a police officer is more than just a job—it is a calling to serve and protect your community. Unfortunately, many qualified Candidates are disqualified due to psychological, character, or medical reasons.

As a retired NYPD Captain with over two decades of law enforcement, I understand the motivation behind the dream of becoming a police officer.  And, as a police officer disqualification appeals lawyer, I represent clients seeking to overcome a disqualification determination so that they can further their career goals.

If you’ve received a disqualification decision, I invite you to call me to schedule a free phone or video consultation.

Once I learn about your situation, I can assess your chances of a successful appeal.

I represent clients on a fixed fee basis, so you will know at the outset how much your representation will cost.  I also accept credit card payments to help you if money is tight, and offer a free phone or video consultation so that you can learn about your chances for success before retaining me.

What Types of Police Officer Disqualifications Can Be Appealed?

There are several common reasons why police officer Candidates are disqualified. Understanding the reason for your disqualification is the first step in building a strong appeal. Below are some of the most common types of disqualifications we assist with:

• Psychological Disqualification. Police officers must handle high-stress situations, and the psychological screening process aims to ensure that Candidates are emotionally equipped for the job. However, mistakes can be made. Candidates can be disqualified for reasons like poor stress management, anger issues, or other psychological concerns.If you believe your psychological disqualification was unfair, I and my firm can help you by obtaining a second opinion from an independent psychologist and building a solid appeal seeking to reverse the decision.
• Medical Disqualification. Medical disqualifications can result from issues like hearing, vision, or cardiovascular problems. However, in many cases, these conditions can be reevaluated or managed, and Candidates can still fulfill the job requirements. We assist Candidates in obtaining the necessary medical documentation from independent specialists to support their appeal​ (i.e., Medical DQ appeal).
• Character or Background Disqualification. A past arrest, disciplinary issues at school or work, or even minor driving violations can lead to character or background disqualification. While these factors do present hurdles, in some cases they can be overcome. I and my team can work with you to gather evidence demonstrating your growth, rehabilitation, and readiness for service​ in seeking to overcome a character disqualification.
