Michael S. Discioarro

I recently walked into Michael Discioarro’s office in a complete panic because I was the subject of an investigation with ACS. This investigation was based on lies and completely falsified by the anonymous person who "called ACS in good faith". For me, a Mom, who has never even received a speeding ...ticket or have had any type of allegations brought against me in any way, dealing with the New York State Office of Children and Family Services was completely something new. And let me tell you, quite scary until I met Michael. Instantly upon meeting him, I was confident that he had the experience and dedication to help me fight the allegations against me. I knew after he made the first phone call to the case worker, my four year old daughter and I would no longer be intimidated or threatened by ACS. Michael was available to me via phone and text 24 hours a day. He always answered and/or responded within seconds of me reaching out to him. He advised me through the whole process and explained each and every step ACS would take before they even took it. Within a couple of weeks of hiring Michael, the allegations against me were found to be “unsubstantiated allegations”. I didn’t need the certified letter from ACS to calm me down because I had Michael with me 100% of the way making me feel better. As a parent, having your child threatened is the worst feeling in the world. Knowing that there is someone like Michael Discioarro available to help you through it is a comfort. His commitment to defending you is amazing! I hope the next time I see Michael is for a personal reason and not for a nightmare like I just lived through!! If you are looking for someone to represent you, this is definitely your guy!! Best of luck!

I went to Mike after getting a surprise call from an ACS person who literally told me she would bring the police and start a formal investigation on my family if I did agree to setup house visit within 24 hours. This sounded like extortion or invasion of privacy instead of a civil discussion with a c...ity agency. After reading about ACS and all the horror stories online I knew I had to protect my familly by hiring Mike. Mike immediately informed the ACS person that they would have to deal with him directly since i was his client. Which was a great relief. When the ACS switched out the agent and attempted a second surprise visit I had Mike on the phone and they were powerless to pull any tricks. Just as Mike instructed after 90 days everything was resolved and the ACS agents left us alone and closed the case.

It was the eve of Thanksgiving, and also the anniversary to my fathers passing. But for some unknown reason or understanding. ACS came to my home at 10 past MIDNIGHT, yes at 12:10 A M. As a crew of ACS workers pulled up in a mini van. As they decided that is the most appropriate thing to do, and time... to do it. As they Banged and Banged and Banged on all reachable sides to my home. If my home was not gated with cameras in place. They would of eventually broken there way in, due to how hard , forceful and loud there attempts were. As my entire family was sound asleep. We were suddenly awoken in a panic. The very next day, morning as ACS sat parked waiting to create havoc and there kind of fear to a S W F, and to my family as well. But for the fear of unknown. We had to stay put that entire Thanksgiving day, and stay together as a family.. No longer able to go to my dads grave, and not going out to our Church Thanksgiving day dinner. But the next most difficult and hardest thing to over come. Was to find a willing and caring Lawyer on Thanksgiving day. After navigating and searching for a competent and hopeful lawyer to retain. I became very unsure with not much confidence. That I can or will get the right lawyer that I needed. Even though I had not 1, no clue to what I could of done. But understanding that it was a holiday. And after making at least a half dozen calls to ACS lawyers. Not one had the care or motivation to offer and express any willingness to help. Until I called Mr. Discioarro. At first I thought he was angry. Maybe because I had called him right in the middle of a holiday. But then when he asked me when are they coming back. I knew I had found the needed and right lawyer. He then said I will be at your home on Monday, as he said expect me there 30 minuets before ACS is to arrive. Not only did he arrive exactly at the time he said he would. But he arrived and entered my home with such concern, determination and compassion. That I have never experienced that ever before. With a person I never met before. As he sat down at out family dinning room table. He assured me that he will work relentlessly to defend me and my family from any accusations, or to what ever ACS will carelessly try. To falsely try to make a report of or about. And I will say this because he never said like most lawyers, or right away mentioned about the M word. But I will say that Mr. Discioarro is very well worth it, and reasonable. As they say you can't put a price on your child. This is a lawyer that is worth every pennies worth. The pathetic and erroneous falsified calls and reports that anyone can just make. Mr. Discioarro had them all dismissed and all unfounded. What I really liked most about this lawyer, is that he is very stern. But very understanding and compassionate. Plus he is a family man himself. If anyone is being set up, being accused or being harassed by ACS. And I did not know anyone that knew him, or nor did I ever hear about him. But I will vouch and assure you. That Mr. Discioarro is a one of a kind lawyer. Especially to fight for your rights as a parent. And to defend and defeat ACS.

Mr. Discioarro Provided his services for an ACS case that I was involved in. I was a victim of harassment and numerous ACS reports were made about me. ACS assumed I was guilty without doing a proper investigation. Mr. Discioarro, listen to my case, he was attentive to my concerns as a profess...ional and understood the ramification such allegations could pose for my family. He made sure to fight for a formal investigation of my case and was successful. It was ultimately discovered that the allegations were false and the case was dismissed without me or my family having to be subjected further to ACS's bullying techniques or demands.

Michael was a tremendous help to me in a difficult domestic situation. He gave me great advice and was able to reach a favorable outcome in one appearance. He is highly professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him and will definitely utilize his services if the need arises. Thank ...you Michael
