HOW DO I SUE ACS?

One of the most common questions we receive is, Can I sue ACS? The answer is it depends and will you be successful? The first thing you must do is file a notice of claim. This puts the city on notice t hat you plan to sue them. You will have to doe a deposition that the city will take and try to assess your case. ACS has something called qualified immunity that means that they can get away from a lot of abuse against parents. It is vitally important to contact a civil rights lawyer if ACS removed your kids or has abused you as a parent. STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM MANHATTANACSLAWYER.COM

DO I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO AN ACS WORKER?

One of the most frightening thing that a parent will face is a knock at the door by an ACS worker. ACS workers do not have badges or guns, many don't eve carry id or business cards. They are a highly untrained and unprofessional group. However, they do have the power of the state behind them. Once an ACS worker receives a case they must, by their own regulations, see the child within 24 hours. This is something they take very seriously. They want to see the child as soon as possible. So what should you do? If you refuse to open the door, the ACS worker will return with the police to try and intimidate you into opening the door. If that fails, the ACS worker will go to court and ask a judge for a warrant. Because of the vindictiveness of how ACS workers operate, they will ask a judge to order you to bring the child to ACS offices within a specified period of time. As soon as you hear an ACS worker contact you, contact an attorney as soon as possible. The ACS worker will say you

BLACK LIVES MATTER- NOT TO ACS

In a time of unprecdentdn protest the black community is rightfully ready to engage the system at every level. However, one agency does more to damage the black family than any cop ever could. ACS routinely removes black children from their parents and terminates the rights of black parents at a higher rate then white ones. This must end! In our 20 years of observing the system close up, we have seen ACS destroy so many black families. We have tried to communicate this to the three commissioners and no one would listen. This is the time to fight ACS. FIGHTACS.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM
