Early legal representation will protect your rights and prevent mistakes that likely affect your case.
Yes. Anything you say to ACS will become part of their investigation and could be used in Family Court proceedings.
A Fight ACS lawyer will challenge inaccurate allegations and present evidence that supports your side of the story.
Your attorney can defend you in court, challenge ACS evidence, and advocate for your family’s interests.
In many cases legal intervention during the investigation will help resolve issues before a court petition is filed.
Generally, ACS needs your consent, a court order, or emergency circumstances to enter your home. The specific facts of the case can affect your rights.
Many of us are raised to believe that if we’ve done nothing wrong, cooperation alone will lead to justice. Unfortunately, that belief can be dangerous when dealing with CPS/ACS. These cases do not operate like normal legal matters, and parents often do not have the rights or protections they assume they do. In my experience, CPS operates like a large bureaucracy driven by incentives. When services are mandated or a child is removed from the home, funding follows. Too often, dealing with CPS feels like dealing with grimy salespeople who earn a commission by fabricating and building cases against you. The focus becomes sustaining the case rather than protecting families, and the burden falls hardest on parents who cannot afford strong legal counsel. This is exactly why having the right lawyer from the very beginning is critical. Michael Discioarro is that lawyer. Michael is strategic, direct, and deeply knowledgeable about how CPS and ACS cases actually function. He does not simply react — he anticipates. He understands the tactics used to pressure parents and knows how to shut them down before damage is done. What truly sets him apart is how immediately and forcefully he pushes back. He explains what matters, what does not, and where the real risks are. He protects you from unnecessary exposure, prepares you for every interaction, and ensures you are never walking blindly into a situation that can be used against you. He does not allow CPS to control the narrative or the pace. He takes control early, is meticulous with details, and remains relentless throughout the process. His goal is always the same: protect your family and pursue dismissal whenever possible — and if dismissal does not happen right away, he FIGHTS even harder. Often, reviews don’t match the service or product you receive. This is one review you can bet on. BET ON MIKE If you are dealing with CPS: • Step one: Do not speak to CPS without legal representation. • Step two: Hire a lawyer who knows this system, will protect you, and guide you through every step of the process. • Step three: Hire Michael Discioarro. Having the right attorney can mean the difference between losing control of your life and keeping your family intact
My family and I hired Mr. Discioarro. Very grateful for all his guidance and expertise.
I cant say enough positive things about Mike Discioarro. I faced one of the scariest times in my life, and was fortunate to have found and select him. From the moment I walked into his office I knew: he was THE guy. His knowledge of the law, the NYC legal system, and his mannerism inside and outside of the courtroom helped me during a critical time when I needed someone on my side.
