NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

He Didn’t Abuse His Daughter. The State Took Her Anyway. An unwed father hopes his case will change the way courts decide what it means to be a parent. For the first five years of his daughter Amanda’s life , Ping N., a restaurant manager in Manhattan, lived with his little girl and her mother. He tucked her into bed at night and enjoyed spoiling her with her favorite snacks, like fish balls, egg tarts and ramen noodles. This story was produced in partnership with  The New York Times . But when child welfare officials found that Amanda’s mother had inflicted excessive corporal punishment on her in 2013, they removed the girl from the home. Even though court records show that Ping had never committed abuse and was not present when it took place, a judge later decided that he would lose his daughter, too. Ping could not have custody or any say in her life anymore. The reason was a quirk of New York State law: He and Amanda’s mother were not married when she was born, ...

This is probably the number one question parents have. We must be mindful that ACS is a highly untrained and unprofessional organization. Once a parent has either refused to open the door or refused ACS access, the ACS worker will call the police. Once the NYPD arrives, the police officers will usually try to convince the parent to open the door to make things "easier" for them. Without a court order, the police will usually not use force to enter the home, however in a recent case the police officer inserted his baton in the door preventing the parents from closing it. The ACS worker will then go to court, without telling the parent and obtain a court order that the parents produce the children at the ACS office. This will keep escalating until the parent complies. The vast majority of judged will do as ACS requests and never question their motives. If you have been contact by ACS, contact us, THE LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL S. DISCIOARRO, LLC .

It is important to note that anyone can call ACS on anyone at anytime. The hotline is always open and there is absolutely no screening done by ACS.  Once an ACS call is made, the ACS worker will appear at your door. Once an ACS worker appears, the damage can be immediate. The tress ACS puts on families is immense and profound. Parents, often confused, will attack each other and family relationships start to break down. The ACS worker will not stop until the parents agree to unseless classes which allow ACS to receive more funding. If your family has been targeted by ACS, contact the Law Offices of Michael S.

This is being given to teachers in NYC schools to explain the ACS process. What the teachers are not being told is that with one phone call the child can be removed.

 We need to revisit this topic because it comes up so often in our practice and by desperate parents who are involved in ACS cases. To begin with, what is meant by suing ACS is filing a lawsuit against the agency, the worker, and the City of New York. In order to file a lawsuit, you should obtain an attorney. While you can file a lawsuit pro se ( without a lawyer), the laws regarding suing the City and the legal procedures are simply too complicated for a non-lawyer to be effective. Thus the first obstacle is retaining a lawyer who will take your case. This is a major hurdle. Cities and states have whats called, qualified immunity. This makes them more difficult to sue. The kind of lawyer you would need is a personal injury lawyer. This may sound strange, but these are the lawyers that routinely sue NYC in court for violating the rights of citizens. There is also another major obstacle. Because these lawyers are used to suing the NYPD and various public agencies, they have very l...

With the new school year upon us, ACS workers will be looking for parents to accuse of educational neglect. This comes in two forms. One form is pretty simple. The child misses too much school. How much is too much? Well to an ACS worker a few days will have them demanding that parents take parenting classes. Another type of neglect is when ACS accuses parents of not getting their child the services that are needed in the School. Often, the ACS worker an the DOE will gang up on the parents to attack them and absolve the DOE of responsibility. Here are some cases.
