Ithaca DWI Lawyer: How a New York DWI Affects a Professional License?

Описание: http://www.ithacadwi.com

New York State like many states these days has an extensive list of behaviors both on and off the job that are considered professional misconduct. Any instances of this misconduct trigger an investigation and potential hearing concerning your licensure as a professional within the state. The list of licenses includes: Pharmacists, Nurses, Massage Therapists, and many others. NYS Board of Regents monitors these professions.

Under NYS Education Law 6509 (5) (a) (1), any violation of law is professional misconduct. Any DWI or other misdemeanor would be considered a violation, and therefore a trigger of professional misconduct, which would then warrant an investigation. For further reading under New York State Education § 6530 there are 48 Definitions of Professional Misconduct.

Those with professional licensure should be mindful of the minefield that awaits them if they accused of a crime or an act of misconduct. My million dollar advice is never say anything to anyone without first counseling with a lawyer.
