Excellent Attorney

Michael is an excellent Attorney. He was able to get my case dismissed. He listened to what I had for say and applied it to my defense.

Excellent ACS lawyer

My husband and I were falsely targeted by ACS and went through a very stress time. We found Mr. Discioarro online and hired him. He is very experienced on ACS cases and guided us to go though everything. He is very responsive and reachable whenever we need his help. Finally our cases are sealed as un...founded. We are so happy!

Lots of respect to this man. I reached out to him (maybe harassed in the beginning even) I was freaking out when acs first knocked on my door. No matter how much of a great mother I think I am ; when 2 acs agents knock on your door at 11 at night you will feel some type of way. Before they came to my... house they went to my parents house and then to my landlord. Embarrassed alone and scared of the unknown Michael eased my worries. He let me know what to do and what to expect. If he wasn’t by my side I don’t know what would of happend ; I am happy with the outcome!! Thank you Michael for having awesome judgement and for being orally articulate. Oh and for being such a great listener!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
