Acs case

I hired Micheal as my attorney got a Acs case about a month ago. He is a great lawyer by the way, every time I called him he always there for me and he is doing a great job on my case. I will recommend my attorney to my friends and family.

If you have ACS harassing you Michael Discioarro is the lawyer you want

When you hire Michael you don’t just get a lawyer, you get a friend. He knows the law and he knows how to handle these agency workers. He makes himself available 24/7 and he empowers the family by informing you of your rights and exposing the agency for their deceit. He helped my son and I would Mich...ael to anyone facing a child welfare agency. No one should fight those agencies without a lawyer and Michael Discioarro is the man you want by your side!

Excellent ACS lawyer

My husband and I were falsely targeted by ACS and went through a very stress time. We found Mr. Discioarro online and hired him. He is very experienced on ACS cases and guided us to go though everything. He is very responsive and reachable whenever we need his help. Finally our cases are sealed as un...founded. We are so happy!

Avvo Rating

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.
