Focused Defense for Licensed Professionals

The Law Office of Rodney Drake concentrates exclusively on New York professional discipline matters — from the moment an OPD investigation opens through the conclusion of any disciplinary hearing. Serving Long Island, Suffolk County, Nassau County, and all of New York.

A New York Office of Professional Discipline investigation can end a career built over decades. The Law Office of Rodney Drake provides aggressive, experienced defense for licensed professionals at every stage — from the first notice through formal hearings and appeals.

Stage One

OPD Investigations

Early intervention is critical.

The New York Office of Professional Discipline (OPD) investigates licensed professionals across dozens of fields. An investigation can begin with a complaint, a referral, or a routine audit — and the stakes are your license, your livelihood, and your reputation. Rodney Drake intervenes from the moment you receive notice, helping you respond to subpoenas, prepare for interviews, and build a defense strategy before the investigation escalates.

Services Include

Immediate response to OPD notices and subpoenas
Strategic preparation for investigative interviews
Negotiation with OPD investigators to resolve matters early
Defense of your license and professional standing

Stage Two

Disciplinary Hearings

Aggressive advocacy when it matters most.

If an OPD investigation proceeds to a formal disciplinary hearing, you need an attorney who knows the process and fights for your license. Rodney Drake represents licensed professionals before New York licensing boards and administrative tribunals, cross-examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and making the strongest possible case for your continued practice.

Cross-examination of OPD witnesses
