NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

We often hear from our clients that they have tried to prove to ACS that they are good parents and ACS workers simply will not listen. The reason for this is very simple. The ACS agenda is to attack as many parents as possible and place as many children as possible in Foster Care. This both secures their jobs and their funding. parents usually find that ACS workers simply lie about what the parents or children have said to ACS.

ACS is one agency consisting of lawyers and ACS workers. However, when a case is filed against a parent in court, this becomes a real problem. The ACS workers will continue to speak to the parent as they are trying to help them, while the ACS lawyer in court finds ways to attack them, The ACS worker will often report back to the ACS lawyer negative things about the parent.
