Character and fitness

Michael gave me extremely thorough advice on how to best handle my character and fitness concerns for both law school admissions and for bar admittance. The very first part of his plan actually solved my entire issue and this serves as a testament to his knowledge and experience. Would highly recomme...nd him for character and fitness concerns.

Magician

Mr. Discioarro represented and defended my business after the city’s attempt to revoke my license. I now refer to him as “Magic Mike”, once he began advocating for me my problems disappear like magic.

A perfect lawyer for Child Abuse

I highly recommended Michael S. Discioarro, who handled my case in excellent way. I like his action plan very much, 24 hours service, job to be done are the main features of on his profession. In my case, he was fighting to concern authorities by professional way and the case was completely dismisse...d. During my case, I am feeling that he is the right person to handle the ACS cases. I am definitely recommended to his service; you will get out from unnecessary harassments.

Thankful

I never expected to be placed in a position that threatened the livelihood of my family. In 2020, ACS attempted to defame my character as a mother. ACS' initial contact with me/my family, I was cooperative but little did I know ACS's employees did not practice integrity and honesty. Statements were n...ot taken accurately and words were paraphrased incorrectly by the ACS caseworker. Long story short, ACS founded my case. I was in total disbelief, but refused to allow ACS place these false allegations upon my character as a mother. I immediately began to search for the best ACS lawyers in NYC. I spoke to a few lawyers before actually talking to Michael. What set Michael apart was his confidence and empathy. Michael immediately put me at ease as he spoke of his experience with ACS. Michael was not judgemental and extremely knowledgeable of the law and ACS system. He always made himself available for any questions/concerns and kept me updated in a timely manner. Michael was able to have my case overturned to unfounded and removed completely from my record. My family and I are thankful for Michael. If I had to do anything over, then I would have called Michael at the first knock. Trust me, Michael will not disappoint you. He will fight for you and your family as his own!! Grateful to say he was my lawyer!!
