5 Stars for sure!

This man is fantastic. He eased my worries from the moment that I spoke to him. He has extensive knowledge and extensive experience with ACS. He knows what they can and cannot do and what they will try to do. He knows exactly how they function. It's not only his background that makes him such an effe...ctive attorney, it's his approach. From the moment I contacted him we was reassuring and confident. He assured me that I did not do anything wrong and that he was there for me. He's always available. He May seem like he's being short with you but HE IS NOT. He's your attorney and he keeps it professional and only wants to talk to you about matters relevant to the case. Hire him and trust him. I would reccommend him to ANYONE.

I would have given more stars if I could

Mike represented me in a (wrongful) DV accusation in Criminal Court. With his guidance we stood our ground and the case ended up "not guilty" dismissed, despite initial attempts by DA to agree to settlement that would implicate guilt. He has a superb knowledge of the process from both sides of the ...bench, he worked for DA, which is extremely valuable. His grip on how the case is going and what can and cannot be asked is solid. I also enjoyed working with him as a person. Always spot on, prepared and well informed. Just keep in mind he does not talk a lot, he is a lawyer and not a therapist )

Excellent Attorney

Michael Discioarro was the best. He was able to clear my name of false accusations in record time. He was able to get my case sealed and expunged. He made himself readily available whenever I needed him no matter what the hour. He gave me peace of mind to continue with my regular day to day knowing... he was in my corner fighting for me.

Excellent lawyer

Micheal is a great lawyer. Having him on my side during an acs case gave me peace of mind. He was able to get my case dismissed and now I’m able to move on with my life . He knows what he is doing and I highly recommend him to anyone might be dealing with acs .

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
