When you receive a civil service job disqualification such as a NYPD psych disqualification and/or FDNY medical disqualification, it is crucial you meet with a civil service law attorney to discuss your case.
An attorney who is knowledgeable in the area will be able to describe the appeal process to you. The attorney will get your background history and the complete story of your application process, including any interaction you may have had with the hiring agency’s interviewers, and will discuss with you the best way to approach your appeal.
This is best done in person. During this meeting your attorney will review documents, as well as discuss your life, education, work history and any jobs you may have had. It is also good to discuss what happened during the application process, whether it be background, medical or psychological. After getting all the facts, you can then decide if you would like to act.
It is always best to communicate, get all the facts, discuss the strategy and decide if you would like to take action. Sometimes deferring to another test or looking at other jobs may be the best advice.
I have been helping civil service job candidates file their appeals for 18 years now. I also advise candidates when I feel their appeal may not be successful.
