Fighting the Department of Buildings Disciplinary Action, Investigation, License Revocation, or Trying to Reinstate a Lapsed License
If you are fighting disciplinary action, involved in an investigation, or working towards a renewal, you need to seek legal guidance. You may have choices when it comes to handling disciplinary action or revocation. Some options are more favorable than others, and this is the reason to speak with an attorney. Our team can help you determine the path that works most efficiently and effectively and will represent you when needed.
Representation for Article 78 Proceedings
When an agency belonging to New York State or a New York local municipality denies your plumbers license, you can talk to our attorney about using an Article 78 Proceeding. Based on the rules outlined in Article 78 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, an Article 78 proceeding challenges a potentially wrongful agency decision, including license denials. Since an Article 78 proceeding is filed with the New York State Supreme Court and requires argument before the Court, it is highly encouraged that you allow an experienced NYC master plumbers license lawyer to perfect your argument for you and act on your behalf.
Key arguments you can bring up in an Article 78 proceeding are:
- Agency that denied your plumbers license failed to comply with its own rules or standards.
- Decision to deny your plumbers license was arbitrary.
- No “substantial” evidence exists to support the agency’s decision to deny your plumbers license.
It is crucial to understand that you cannot simply argue that the decision was unfair if you want to succeed in your Article 78 proceeding. You must be prepared to show how it was wrong under the expectations of the law, much like an appeal in other forms of court. Again, using the guidance of our attorney will make the situation easier for you and greatly increase your chances of success. If you were wrongly denied a license, we can file an action in court for you!
