About Fight ACS

Michael S. Discioarro is a seasoned New York criminal defense attorney with decades of experience representing individuals facing serious legal challenges. He founded the Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC . Navigating the criminal courts in New York City requires more than knowledge of the law. The city processes hundreds of thousands of criminal matters every year, and each borough operates under its own District Attorney’s Office. As a result, procedures, policies, and prosecutorial practices can vary significantly from one county to another. Anyone accused of a crime needs an attorney who understands not only the statutes involved, but also the local court systems, prosecutors, and procedures that can influence the outcome of a case.

During that time, he handled a large volume of investigations and prosecutions, gaining valuable insight into how law enforcement agencies and prosecutors build cases. Today, he applies that knowledge to protect the rights and interests of his defense clients. In addition to private practice, Mr. Discioarro has made significant contributions to the legal profession through education, publishing, and media appearances.

He has taught Criminal Law as an associate professor at both John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Hunter College, helping educate future legal and criminal justice professionals.

Published Author
