ACS uses several tactics to coerce parents to settle a case in court. The first weapon they have is time. ACS will drag the case on for months and months in hopes of beating down the parents. After a while, most parents are tired of the abuse and harassment and simply take a "deal" to get the case over with. The next and most used tactic is accusing the parents of horrific violations of child abuse in the beginning and letting them plead guilty to something less to get rid of the case. This makes it appear as if the ACS lawyers are reasonable. Also, despite the fact that ACS is one agency, the ACS lawyers call the ACS workers their clients. This allows ACS lawyers to play many roles in negotiations and allows the ACS lawyer to blame the ACS worker if anything should go wrong. No other city agency with their own attorneys walks int court and says they represent themselves. This is pure gamesmanship. Many parents are very dismayed once they learn how dysfunctional the ACS lawyer actually are. The turnover rate is very high and it is often difficult to get things done because no one at ACS is responsible enough to make a decision. And the parent languish. Brooklynacslawyer.com
The bulk of the street level work that ACS does is the home visit. ACS workers take this opportunity to attack the parents in any ay that they can. Initially the ACS worker will demand that the parents not record them. They will actually give you orders in your own home. Do not allow them to do this.
