THE BEST

I remember walking into Michael’s office, scared, almost trembling, and confused. By the time I left, I had confidence and assurance that everything was going to be ok, and IT WAS. Michael kept me in the loop with everything. I was able to call him any time, day or night. He gets things DONE. I... highly recommend Michael to anyone who is in need of a family lawyer. You will not regret it. Thank you Michael. You gave me back my peace of mind.

Amazing Defense and ACS Attorney

Mike is an amazing, patient, responsive attorney that is a beast in the courtroom. He went above and beyond for me and my family and fought until the end. He got ACS off our backs and we had no need to associate with them at all. He took care of everything. He is highly respected in the DA’s offic...e and court system in general. If you want to win, don’t hesitate to hire him. You won’t regret it.

THE PREMIER ACS ATTORNEY IN NEW YORK!!

There should not be any other consideration for ACS Defense! If you want to ensure the best possible Defense against any ACS investigation than Michael is the man to call. Well worth the PRICE if you want a valid chance against the bureaucracy of this malicious City organization.....Communication was... excellent regardless of time of day and night. He tackled 2 ACS city workers and eventually case was UNFOUNDED!! Just hire Michael for your family's sake !

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 .
