An Excellent Attorney

I am from out of state and had to retain a lawyer in NYC. Along with local counsel we carefully sifted through potential candidates and after some phone conversations decided to hire Michael. I could not be happier with the choice. Coming from the Midwest I was unused to Michael's NYC take charge ...attitude. He was able to consistently alleviate my concerns due to both his confidence and his knowledge of the law. I very much appreciated his candor and ability to quickly and efficiently answer my questions. My case was interesting. It began in family court and had a criminal component. I was essentially ambushed at the family court and arrested. Michael, without being paid at that point in time, worked all day to get me in front of the judge and out on bail. I of course then retained him to represent me in the criminal matter as well. When it was all said and done Michael won both of my cases for me. I could not be happier. During the nearly year long process he was consistently there to answer questions and to keep me at ease. I recommend Michael highly. I not only consider him a great attorney but also a friend.

Quick, efficient and completely reliable

For anyone who has every had a fraudulent call to ACS made on them, especially for those working in Education, you know how devastating it can be. Anyone choosing to impersonate a professional can make false claims and they immediately have an open case. Not only can this effect current employment b...ut can jeopardize all future opportunities as well. I cannot say enough about Mr. Discioarro's quick and effective approach. He came to the initial house visit and was willing and able with questions to our every concern. The case was quickly closed as unfounded and we are able to continue with our lives. Our children and family were minimally disrupted which was the most important thing for us. If you want your case and any concerns resolved immediately by a professional, I highly recommend Mr. Discioarro.

  • 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.
