NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

The right to counsel is a cherished and hard-won right in the United States. Many battles have been waged to assure that regular citizens have the right to an attorney. In New York, the courts guard that right very seriously. Here are some things that your ACS defense lawyer should do in our case: - Always appear in Court for you. -Never let you speak to the ACS worker alone. -Gather evidence -Make motions to dismiss you case -Be in constant communication with you If your attorney is not doing all of these things, document how he/she is failing you and present it to the judge. The right to counsel is a right that must be protected.

The Staten Island ACS office is located at 350 St. Marks Place, from this office ACS workers fan out across the island and do home visits. Even while a case is in court and the parents are represented by an attorney, the ACS worker will do a home visit and speak to the parents about the case. The usual ACS worker tactic is to attack the parents as much as possible, disregard their right to counsel and then write  a report to the judge that mentions nothing about what actually happened. we strongly encourage every parent to write their own log of what occurred and give them to their attorney to present to the judge. Also, it is perfectly legal for parents to record ACS both video and audio. In fact, in a recent case a judge in Brooklyn actually placed in her order that the parent is allowed to record ACS visits. The ACS workers will tell you that it is not legal and attack you. Do not fall victim to their lies. NYCACSLAWYER.COM

When ACS does not have the evidence to take a parent to court, the will find them "indicated" for child abuse in the central registry. The parent must then do a hearing at the OCFS in Harlem. The New York Office of Children and Family Services ( OCFS) conducts hearings at their office at the state office building at 125th Street in Harlem. These hearings determine if a charge of child negelect will remain in the state registry for outside agencies to view in the future. It is very dangerous to have your name listed with this agency. Potential employers may view this registry and decide against hiring someone who's name is in it. There are certain government positions that do not allow for job applicants to have prior charges of child abuse.

Our client P.M is truly a wonderful father. That did not stop ACS from attacking him for months with simply no evidence. It took Brooklyn family Court Judge Jacqueline Williams to stop them. After hearing all ACS had to say, Judge Williams dismissed the ACS case and dismissed the petition. ACS had lied so much throughout the case and finally the lies caught up with them in court. We should be thankful we have honorable judges like Judge Williams on the bench who stand up for good parents. BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM
