I cannot thank this man enough for his exceptional work on my case. He showed constant support and reassurance throughout the entire process, easing my mind during what could have been a very stressful time. His expertise and dedication ultimately led to my case being dismissed. I am truly grateful ...for his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you so much for everything!

My Champion

I had some issues with the agency, and i was threatened with arrest and possibly imprisonment for false accusations. I searched online for a lawyer to help me and all signs led me to Michael. I first watch a video he had posted on his website that spoke to me and my situation on top of that I had r...eached out to multiple lawyers/firms at around 7-8pm on a Wednesday night and Michael was the only one who answered my call and gave me some advice and an appointment the NEXT DAY!!. Before long he was on my case and walked me through the process and what to expect, I expressed my concerns and Micheal was very reassuring and let me know he will do his best to provide the results I wanted. All I can say if you are in any issues with the agency give Michael a call, very knowledgeable and priced fairly. Thank you Micheal for helping me maintain my family unit and my future. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We hired Mr. Michael Discioarro to assist with an ACS case against my family. He was always available when needed questions answered. He always kept us informed on the status of the case. Lastly, he was always professional throughout the process. We could not get through this process without his... help. I would definitely refer him to my friends and family if his services are ever needed.

I am a professional that was accused of bogus charges that could have ruined my career and could have led to my incarceration. I was arrested for these charges. Due to Michael’s strenuous representation my case was dismissed after the second Court appearance. Michael kept me informed about the status... of my case, answered all my calls, was always readily available to speak and calmed my fears when they came up. The advice he gave me on what to do after my arrest was priceless. Michael always answered my questions very clearly and his positive attitude kept me calm in a very tumultuous time of my life. I am forever grateful.
