YOU CAN'T HAVE A LAWYER IN THIS CASE ACS workers who visit parents at the home will often advise parents that they are not allowed a lawyer because the case is not in court. They may also use language like "you don''t need a lawyer". This is simply untrue. The right to counsel in New York is heavily protected by the courts. ACS workers despise dealing with attorneys and in fact ACS policy is that ACS workers do not speak to attorneys. ACS workers will only speak to parents. What is the reason for this policy? Government agents of all types speak to attorneys on a regular basis to resolve cases. ACS workers are very poorly trained and the vast majority have not been on the job very long. Turnover at ACS is rampant and many people quit after realizing the true dysfunction of the agency. BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM NYCACSLAWYER.COM FIGHTACS.COM
