Client Review

What can I say about Mr. Discioarro? He is a character! However he certainly knows his craft, is as down to earth as they come and is known highly by his peers. I've been with him 2+ years on the same case which shows dedication, and hopefully in a very FEW months I will be looking at my issues as a... thing of the past.

Excellent lawyer for ACS cases

Michael is an outstanding lawyer in terms of his knowledge, availability, sensitivity, and humor. He will be your advocate from start to finish and is determined to see the best outcome for you. I went to Michael with a case of wrongful ACS involvement. He provided me with the right guidance, sto...od by my side during the home visits, and made sure that I did what I needed to do to see that the case was closed. Thank you, Michael for being there when I really needed a strong, logical person who really knows the law and the NYC system. You are the best.

Michael Discioarro not only a lawyer, but an excellent human being!

Let me start by saying that this was my first time dealing with a lawyer and it was an excellent one. Michael took my case and throughout the entire ordeal assured me that everything would be fine. AND IT WAS! His expertise and manner in handling me as a client was superb. He was there at all times ...ready to answer any comments, questions, or concerns at all times. He always assured me they had no case that was solid against me. I Have to say that I was blessed in having Mr. Discioarro as my lawyer. An excellent human being.
