ACS workers have two options if they file a case against a parent. They can either file a petition in Family Court or an indicated case at the Offices of Children and Family Services. If there is little evidence against the parents they will only file at OCFS. This can be real trouble for parents that work with children or in the healthcare field. The first thing you must do is respond to the allegations right away. The law limits the amount of time that you have to appeal. Once an appeal is granted you may have to actually go to a hearing. The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC will review all of the evidence in your case. We will contact OCFS and demand that the case be dismissed or in the alternative demand a hearing. We will discuss the case with you and appear with you at the hearing is necessary. At each step of the way the goal is to have the case dismissed and you removed from the registry. We will seek all legal avenues to make sure your rights are protected....
