How Does the NYPD Psychological Disqualification Process Work?

As an NYPD disqualification appeals lawyer with more than 21 years of experience, Kevin Sheerin has helped many candidates who failed their NYPD Psychological Test and received a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) or Notice of Disqualification (NOD).

In the NOPD letter, a disqualified candidate is given an opportunity to select a psychological expert and have their NYPD psychological file sent to that expert for review and preparation of a rebuttal report. If you do not respond TIMELY to the NOPD, the NYPD psychological file will NOT be released to your psychologist.

It is crucial that you select an experienced psychologist familiar with the appeals process. ONCE YOU SELECT A PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERT TO ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR APPEAL, YOU ARE GENERALLY NOT ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR CHOICE LATER.

Candidates often feel overwhelmed by the NYPD appeals process. Kevin Sheerin is a knowledgeable appeals attorneys with many years of experience. He and his legal team can walk you through the process, help you find a psychological expert and ensure that you make smart choices along the way.

Candidates should also remember that choosing a psychologist they formerly had counseling sessions with is not a wise choice.

In addition to offering the industry standards associated with appealing an NYPD Psychological Disqualification, at the Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin, Candidates are offered the option to Reply to their NYPD Disqualification, as we believe Replies can be an effective tool when a Candidate Receives a Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD).

Your Reply will not only list point-by-point responses to the NYPD’s factual and expert assertions, but will also reassert your expert’s findings and offer legal arguments that challenge the sufficiency and validity of the NYPD’s evidence and findings.

Kevin and his experienced legal team have found Replies to be a powerful tool, as rebutting new arguments, clarifying facts and protecting the records can often change the outcome of a Candidate’s disqualification.
