New Jersey Physician License Defense Lawyers
Formal notification from the New Jersey Medical Board that a physician is under investigation for misconduct is a shocking discovery. Most physicians don’t assume they’ll receive a letter of this complexity, but it happens. A physician’s license is at risk when this occurs, and this is when a physician’s license defense attorney becomes a necessity. Years of medical school, rotations, residency, and the expense of medical school are put in jeopardy the second a formal complaint is opened against a physician.
The New Jersey Medical Board receives thousands of physician complaints on an annual basis. Each one is entered into their system for review. Most of the complaints received are either baseless or not in violation of any state laws or violations of any ethical nature. If a complaint is deemed in violation of a medical or state law, they are flagged, sent to an internal investigator, and a formal letter outlining the complaint is then sent to the physician in question.
When the formal notification is provided to a physician, the doctor is required to respond. They have numerous expectations outlined in the letter sent to them, and a license defense attorney can help significantly over the course of this process. Physicians are required to respond to the complaint, provide specific medical records, and comply with the ongoing investigation. Knowing their legal rights and obligations is necessary during this time, and focusing on their patients can be difficult when dealing with the allegations surrounding a complaint. This is where an attorney is beneficial.
If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence.Thank you team!
I recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.
Anyone can file a complaint against a physician. Many believe it’s just patients who can file a complaint against their physician after they’re either treated poorly or unhappy with their service, but anyone can file a complaint.
– Patients
– Coworkers
– Employees
– Hospital staff
– Suppliers
– Law enforcement
– Family of patients
– Insurance companies
– Medical billing companies
Anyone who has reason to believe their complaint is accurate and true can file a complaint against a physician. Physicians are required by law to uphold themselves in a manner of lawfulness and ethical behavior, and there are many factors that might make someone believe they are in violation of state laws. The most common complaints filed against physicians include:
1. Sexual Misconduct – If a patient or family member of a patient feels the physician has violated them in any way during an exam, they can file a complaint accusing the physician of sexual misconduct in the office.
2. Alcohol Abuse – A physician who shows up to work drunk and work with patients while drinking can be accused of alcohol abuse.
3. Drug Abuse – A doctor working while under the influence of drugs if violating the law.
4. Criminal Convictions – Any physician arrested for criminal behavior is at risk for losing their license.
5. Medical Misconduct – If a doctor recommends unnecessary testing or performs unnecessary procedures on a patient for the sole purpose of making more money from the patient’s insurance company, it’s in violation of state law.
6. Billing and Healthcare Fraud – Submitting improper information to patients and/or healthcare providers to inflate the cost of procedures for profit is against state law.
7. Discrimination – Any employee, patient, or person who works with or in the office can accuse a doctor of discrimination if they feel the physician didn’t treat them fairly based on discrimination.
Punishments
If complaints are considered true and based on accurate events, a physician risks losing his or her license. It’s impossible to tell precisely who will lose his or her license save for several specific cases. A physician who commits a felony such as sexual misconduct, murder, or more will lose his or her license. A physician arrested for a DUI or accused of abusing substances might find their licenses suspended, but they can seek medical help for their issue and eventually reinstate their license.
There are always loopholes, specifications, and other interests to consider. This is why it’s imperative to hire an attorney who has ample experience defending licensure and reinstating licensure after it’s been suspended or unfairly revoked during an investigation.
