ACS

Exceptional lawyer who fights for your case going above and beyond, I got my case dismissed in two months by hiring Michael. He gave me that peace of mind and assurance I got help on my side!

PHENOMENAL LAWYER!

I highly recommend Michael Discioarro as your lawyer he is very efficient and was hands on with my case . ACS tried to destroy my family but with Michael’s assistance we did not have to deal with ACS at all . He made sure they were not allowed to speak to us and only to the children. He always answe...red all my calls and texts no matter what time or day . He was on point with all court dates and with ACS and their lies and tricks . Michael even listen to me complain and cry during my court process. We are forever in dept with Micheal Discioarro I highly recommend him as a lawyer he was a gift from God to my family .

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
