Awesome

I found Michael online and from the very beginning he was able to educate me on the ACS process. He was able to help guide me through their crazy procedures. He was very patient and always a call away. When they visited my home he was there on facetime defending me from their little traps (they have ...a sick way of trying to trap you). They asked for a “supervised family meeting” one day for no reason we went in and he roared like a lion. They backed down and they are closing this out. I gave five stars if I could give ten I definitely would! You have ACS problems don’t even hesitate to call Michael.

Mr. Discioarro was great at handling my case, he was consistent with checking in through text and calls about the case. My case was closed within a few weeks. Mr. Disciorra is a great attorney, I would highly recommend.

One of New York’s Finest.

This story was hired based on the recommendation of a friend. He explained the process in its entirety and vowed to see my case to the end. He was very professional and his integrity spoke for itself. He will forever be recommended to other foster parents and anyone who think they have been wronged b...y A. C. S.
