Got the job done

I hired him after mediocre assistance from my court appointed counsel and was glad I did. He was straight forward and forthcoming with helpful advice. His knowledge of the courts and his vigorous defense on my behalf brought my case to a successful resolution after working hard on it for over a year ...and a half.

Happy I Hired Him

I had a case with ACS which was completely ridiculous, but they were being relentless, so I decided I needed a lawyer. Michael was very knowledgeable and responsive. He laid out, in a very straight forward manner, what could happen and what we needed to do. I hired him the same day I met with him and... he immediately contacted ACS. It was such a relief to have his help. He kept me up to date with everything that happened. ACS changed the case to "unfounded" which was what I wanted, without having to go to a hearing, which was wonderful. I am so happy I hired him.

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.

Top Class Lawyer

Michael Discioarro was a huge help to me! This was my first time dealing with a lawyer but I must say he made the process a lot easier to deal with. During a very stressful time i felt super confident with his professional expertise. At the end of it all I came out with a great conclusion to my case.... I will be referring him to others in the future.

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.
