NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

In a recent case in Staten Island, ACS worker Ms. Schiffon Jorge testified about bruises on a child. As in all ACS cases, the ACS workers will allege that any bruise on a child is the result of child abuse by the parents. A scraped knee to an ACS worker in NYC is clear evidence of child abuse.On cross examination, Ms. Jorge stated she had "no" medical training and became defense and said "I am not a doctor.". This did not prevent her from testifying against the parents about suspicious bruises. ACS workers are poorly hired, trained and supervised. The vast majority quit after less than two years. ACS is a highly dysfunctional agency with no real leadership. The most effective tool that parents have against any ACS worker is demand an attorney and not speak to them. Parents have a right to counsel, even though ACS workers will deny this and demand to know why parents obtained a lawyer. FIGHTACS.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM

Our office receives many calls by parents asking how they can sue ACS. This is a very complicated question. The first thing a parent  must do is to document all of the interactions that they have with an ACS worker. Second, parents must be organized and collect evidence of their innocence. Because ACS is a city agency, what is called a Notice of Claim must be filed with NYC within 90 days of the incident. This is a very complicated process. Additionally, ACS has certain legal protections because they are part of the state. In order to overcome these protections, one must retain a seasoned attorney in order to fight the case in court. The most damaging thing that a parent can do, is speak to the ACS worker. They are trained to attack the parents. Every explanation or evidence that a parent tries to provide will be used against them. It is crucially important to contact an attorney as soon as you are contacted by an ACS worker. This will be the best way to protect your rights. BR...
