DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS

Patricia M. Mulligan has handled disciplinary hearings for public and private sector employees for over two (2) decades, defending New York City Police and Correction personnel, New York City Housing & Transit Authority employees, Westchester County employees, as well as union employees from myriad Local, State and Federal agencies.

If you are a member of the civil service, you have certain rights under applicable union contracts that entitle you to a hearing under §75 of the Civil Service Law, and, in some cases, to an arbitration hearing before your employer can impose final discipline for alleged workplace misconduct.

Private sector union employees can have similar rights to a hearing or arbitration before being terminated, suspended or otherwise disciplined.

Ms. Mulligan has also represented employees of the Federal Army Corps of Engineers, as well as Postal Service and Veterans Administration employees accused of workplace misconduct. Appeals of disciplinary actions for Federal employees are often heard before the Merit Systems Protection Board.

Patricia M. Mulligan, Esq. will review your collective bargaining agreement, ascertain your rights and vigorously defend you if you are brought up on disciplinary charges in the workplace. A thorough defense is your only defense.
