NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

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

Child abuse investigation? DON’T send in the lawyers By Post Editorial Board November 1, 2019  |  8:43pm Enlarge Image Stephen Levin, chairman of the City Council Committee on General Welfare.

But City Councilman Stephen Levin (D-Brooklyn), whose committee oversees ACS,   wants lawyers involved  as soon as ACS opens a case. He thinks kids’ safety is ensured by “fully respecting the rights of parents to not have the state unduly infringe on their relationship with their ch...

This is the ultimate question we receive from parents. ACS has the power to remove a child in an " emergency" under the Family Court Act. ACS can also ask a judge to remove a child from a parent during the pendency of a case. Some of the major reasons that ACS would remove a child are: - sexual abuse - excessive corporal punishment - alcohol or drug abuse by parent - disobeying court order Once a child has been removed from a parent they can either go into the care of a relative, known as kinship care, or into the foster care system. The foster care system in New York City is rife with abuse and neglect and is expressly poorly managed. It is one of the major failures of ACS. While their are many well-meaning foster care parents, ACS is highly dysfunctional in supporting them. This has been a problem for decades and ACS refuses to fix the issues in the foster care system.

Our clients were deathly afraid of their foster son who had attacked and savagely beaten his father. ACS demanded that the parents meet with the son to plant for his future. As the attorneys, we contacted ACS and advised that we would represent the parents. ACS refused to have any contact with our office and filed a neglect petition against the parents. At trial, Judge Michael Milsap wrongly agreed with ACS. The unanimous court overturned his decision. Real below.

The answer is wherever the ACS worker decides. Upon first meeting the parents, the ACS worker will pry and ask as many questions as possible about the family as possible. This will help them reach their goal of demanding that parents attend classes and training. The favorite topic of ACS workers is when they can allege that there has been domestic violence in front of the children. The worker will then manufacture a case of abuse against the parents. Parents are  often shocked at the lies that ACS workers will accuse the parents of. If you are visited by an ACS worker contact an attorney at once. DO NOT SPEAK TO ACS WORKERS.

Why did ACS indicate me at OCFS? This is a common question. The first reason is that the ACS did not have enough evidence to actually file a case against you in Family Court. This is a way of the ACS worker making pretend that they are actually doing something. Then the parents dmustattend an OCFS hearing. The parents must at risk are those who have jobs in the medical, education or child care. Once you have been indicated, it will negatively impact you ability to work in these fields. The hearings are conducted at the OCFS in Harlem and can last a few hours. A judge will then issue a written decision. ACSATTORNEYS.COM QUEENSACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM NYCACSLAWYER.COM

ACS workers like to bully parents into attending what they call a Family Safety Conference. Attorneys who represent these parents are not allowed as per ACS policy. So, in a society where the right to counsel is omnipresent, ACS is so fearful of being exposed that they try to hide what they do from as many people as possible. As an attorney I have met with the FBI, NYPD, DEA, DOI and dozens of other state, federal and city agencies on behalf of clients. However, ACS workers have devised a system where they want to abuse parents in private without the benefit of an attorney to guide them. The Family Safety Conference is simply an ambush conducted by the A CS worker and their supervisors where they accuse the parents of wrongdoing and then demand that parents follow the ACS orders. This is all without any type of Court supervision. Lastly, many judges are surprised to learn that attorneys are not allowed to attend these conferences. It is  a shameful tactic and the next ACS Commi...

The case was as complicated as it gets. F.S. and his soon to be ex-wife were in the process of a hotly contested divorce. She had accused him of domestic violence, had him arrested and ACS brought neglect charges against F.S. in Family Court. After a trial before the Hon. Emily Olshansky, the Court found the client did not commit child abuse. "There was a lot at stake for our client in this case. If he lost this case he would have certainly lost custody," Mr. Discioarro said. The soon to be ex-wife testified how awful and controlling F.S. was and how he was violent and abused her for years. Meanwhile, under intense cross-examination, she admitted to shoplifting, and even lying to her friends and family on Facebook as to her academic achievements. "ACS did a very poor job of investigating this case," Mr. Discioarro said. "They should have known that this woman was lying about almost everything in her life." The judge rendered a verdict from the...

OCFS is the state office that handles complaints against parents suspected of child abuse. When ACS does not have enough evidence of child abuse against a parent, they will file a case at OCFS. A hearing will then be conducted. Most at risk are parents who are in the child care or medical profession, as well as law enforcement. Thus, ACS will put the economic lives of parents at stake in order to fulfill their bureaucratic needs. This is one of the main reasons why ACS is a highly dangerous and dysfunctional agency. The well -being of the family is of no concern to ACS workers and their supervisors who are trying to justify their salaries and budgets by attacking NYC parents at an alarming rate. If you receive a letter from OCFS, do not ignore it. There may be serious implications for your employment if you are found guilty of child abuse at this agency hearing.

It has been reported that ACS investigated, Cesar Gonzales Mugaburu , nine times and did nothing to stop him. There have been countless families injured by the failed agency. If they cannot be trusted to find a child molester right under their noses, how van they be trusted to investigate parents in cases of neglect. Each child was in the custody of this monster because ACS believed the parents were abusing the children. Our Law Office has seen so many cases of this it truly saddens us.

ACS has for years been dawning helpless children to a serial child molester in Long Island. This is yet another instance where ACS has failed to protect our children. We deserve better. I call on the Mayor to replace all of the leadership at ACS and start anew. Enough is enough!
