NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DIVISION OF REGIONAL AFFAIRS, EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDER UNIT – UTICA

Assistant Attorney General
Reference No. ERPO_UTC_AAG_3536
Application Deadline is January 27, 2023

The New York State Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is hiring a talented and motivated attorney to work on a statewide initiative to protect New Yorkers from gun violence. Recently, Governor Hochul signed Executive Order 19 which directs the New York State Police (NYSP) to file Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). The OAG is charged with representing the NYSP in final ERPO hearings held in Supreme Courts throughout the State. ERPOs are a critical part of New York’s efforts to promote public safety and keep its residents safe from gun violence. These positions offer an exciting opportunity to help shape the State’s practice in this new and important area of the law.

The selected attorney will be part of the inaugural cohort of the OAG’s Extreme Risk Protection Order Unit. The attorney will represent the NYSP in obtaining ERPOs, civil court-issued orders pursuant to CPLR Section 6343, that prohibit people who are found to be dangerous to themselves or others from temporarily purchasing or possessing a firearm, rifle, or shotgun. This is a fast-paced practice area, and the attorney will gain experience conducting witness interviews and preparing for testimony, evidentiary hearings and other hearing-related tasks. The attorney will be responsible for identifying and gathering relevant records and preparing witnesses in a compressed timeframe.

The selected attorney will be part of a team of colleagues doing this work throughout the State, sharing experience, training and resources. The selected attorney will be hired as an Assistant Attorney General (AAG) and report to the attorney in charge (AAGIC) of the Utica Regional Office. While this attorney will be based at the OAG’s Utica Regional Office, this position involves regular travel within the Utica/Central New York region for court appearances and witness interviews and may include occasional overnight trips.

In addition to their work on ERPO matters, the AAG’s duties will include representing the State in other types of defensive and affirmative litigation. The OAG’s Regional Offices represent the State, its agencies and officers in a wide range of federal and state court litigation, affirmative and defensive.

Suitable candidates for the AAG positions must possess the following minimum qualifications:

• • At least two (2) years of post-graduate legal experience is required;
  • Prior litigation experience is a plus;
  • Strong writing, organizational, interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills; and
  • A demonstrated commitment to public service.

Applicants must reside in (or intend to soon become a resident of) New York State and be admitted to practice law in New York State. In addition, the Public Officers Law requires that attorneys in the Office be citizens of the United States. A two (2) year commitment upon being hired is a condition of employment.

As an employee of the OAG, you will join a team of dedicated individuals who work to serve the people of our State through a wide variety of occupations.

We offer a comprehensive New York State benefits package, including paid leave, health, dental, vision and retirement benefits, and family-friendly policies.

Special Assistant Attorney General

Reference No. MFCU_NYC_SAAG_3533

Application Deadline is January 20, 2023

The New York State Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) is seeking an attorney with experience prosecuting and/or investigating complex financial wrongdoing to serve as a Special Assistant Attorney General in its New York City Office.

Improper and fraudulent use of Medicaid funds can impact access to critical healthcare services for low-income New Yorkers and costs taxpayers millions of dollars annually. MFCU uses the New York State Penal Law, the False Claims Act, Social Services Law §145-b, the Executive Law, and other New York laws, to bring civil actions and criminal proceedings to prosecute individuals and companies who are responsible for these improper or fraudulent Medicaid billing schemes. Many of MFCUs investigations are conducted in coordination with other state, federal or local government and prosecutorial agencies, and have resulted in revenue generation through the large-scale recovery of taxpayer money.

Additionally, MFCU works to safeguard elderly and disabled New Yorkers by investigating reports of abuse and neglect at nursing homes and other residential health care facilities in the state. The importance of this work is highlighted in the OAG’s report investigating allegations of COVID-19-related neglect of nursing home residents across New York State.

The selected attorney will lead collaborative, team-based investigations with MFCU’s forensic accountants/auditors, detectives and analysts to identify and prosecute financial fraud in the healthcare industry and abuse and neglect of residents of healthcare facilities, present evidence to grand juries, and conduct evidentiary hearings and trials in New York State courts. Several recent matters that highlight MFCU’s important work include the sentencing of a Bronx clinic owner for defrauding New York State out of more than $4 Million in false Medicaid claims; the conviction of a former fugitive dentist for Medicaid fraud; and the extradition, arrest, and arraignment of a Medicaid fraud ringleader.

Applicants must possess the following minimum qualifications:

• • Minimum of four (4) years of practice experience, including grand jury, trial and/or substantial complex business litigation practice that must include criminal practice experience and preferably includes the investigation and prosecution of financial crimes;
  • Prior experience drafting and overseeing the execution of search and eavesdropping warrants is desirable;
  • Excellent research, analytical, writing and organizational skills;
  • Sound judgement with the ability to articulate the critical issues in a case accurately and precisely;
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work independently and as a member of a team, including fostering productive and collaborative relationships with staff at all levels of the organization; and
  • Technology proficiency that preferably includes a knowledge of and comfort using Microsoft Office applications and case management and eDiscovery platforms.

Applicants must reside in (or intend to soon become a resident of) New York State and be admitted to practice law in New York State. In addition, the Public Officers Law requires that attorneys in the Office be citizens of the United States. A two (2) year commitment upon being hired is a condition of employment.
