Tips on Filing a Successful NYPD Appeal…

There are critical components to filing a compelling appeal, from gathering evidence to structuring your arguments. Kevin and his team are here to offer you the expertise, tips and best practices needed to make your appeal stand out.

If you have been Psychologically Disqualified by the NYPD for the position of Police Officer, Correction Officer, Firefighter or any other civil service job, you should begin appealing immediately, as you only have 30 days to start the process.

Although you can Appeal your Disqualification on your own, it is wiser to hire experts in the field who are familiar with the civil service appeals process and who have extensive knowledge and experience appealing Psychological Disqualifications.

Regardless of whether you were psychologically disqualified for anxiety, depression, poor judgment or any other reason, you should start your NYPD appeal as soon as possible, so your record does not follow you, raising red flags for anyone viewing it, thereby ruining your chances of securing a civil service job in the future.

In order to appeal your Psychological Disqualification, you will need to hire a Clinical Psychologist who will review your file, have you undergo additional tests and prepare a psychological evaluation on your behalf.

You should also hire an experienced Attorney who will advise you of your rights, review your entire civil service psychological record and prepare you for all the steps and hurdles you will face throughout the appeals process. Your attorney will also work closely with your Psychologist and prepare and file all of your appeals documents. Hiring an expert Attorney and Psychologist will give you the best chance of reversing your disqualification and clearing your name.

If you received a NYPD Psychological Disqualification, but are now confused as to how you should proceed, the following video explains the NYPD psychological disqualification appeal process, and the steps you must follow in order to succeed. It outlines the NYPD psychological Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) steps, followed by what you should do if you receive a Notice for a 2nd interview. It further explains what you should do if you receive a Notice of Disqualification (NOD), which can be appealed to the NYC Civil Service Commission.


As a civil service disqualification appeals attorney with more than 22 years of experience, Kevin Sheerin has extensive knowledge on how to appeal a NYPD Disqualification. Over the years he has helped many clients win their appeal. He can help you too.
