NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

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.

ACS workers have two agendas. First, if they can, they want remove children from parents and place them in foster care. Second, if that cannot be accomplished, they want parents to use ACS "services". The reason is simple. ACS funding depends on how many children are in foster care and how many parents use their services. In this series we will discuss the top ACS lies, and examine them one lie at a time. - THE INVESTIGATION WILL ONLY LAST 60 DAYS. This is the top ACS lie. Once a parent hears that the investigation is only for 60 days, they see a light at the end of the tunnel. The truth is that the investigation will last as long as ACS says it does. The ACS worker will often come back to the parents saying that their "supervisor" wants the parents to do certain services. This is not on an order from a judge it is simply at the whim of the ACS worker. NYCACSLAWYER.COM FIGHTACS.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM Staten Island ACS LAWYER

ACS wrongfully accused a mother of harming her sick child. Queens ACS lawyer, Michael Discioarro, was able to prove to the court that the mother was innocent and ACS was trumping up charges against the family. New York, New York, July 3, 2018 (PressRelease.com) -  The case of ACS v. J.H was a difficult one. The child in question was born ine very difficult manner and as a reult sustained childbirth injuries. As a result, the child underwent numerous surgeries to alleviate the injruies to his head. During one of the hospital stays, ACS witness, Dr. Jamie Hoffman-Rosenfeld, determined that the child was being intentionally injured by someone. ACS lawyers then drafted a petition that accused both the mother and father of abusing their child. The child was placed in foster care for 18 months while the court case dragged on. Finally the case was sent to The Hon. J. Caloras for trial. Because of ACS delays the trial dragged on for months. ACS was represented by attorney Dafna Schind...

Its 2 am and your doorbell rings. You look outside and you see uniformed police officers, You have no idea what this could be. This is actually a ACS home visit. That is correct. ACS had an emergency unit called ECS that visits families at all times of night. But recently one of our clients received one of these visits after we had gone to court and there was absolutely no emergency. The reason for the search was to make sure my client's husband was not in the home. So ACS will wake up children at 2am with police officers and call this child protection. We have heard many stories like this and have represented many parents whose homes have been invaded by ACS workers. This is how you treat drug dealers not parents.

This is a common question from frustrated parents. The truth is that, in the hierarchy of courts, Family Court is seen as the lowest one nu prospective judges. Judges would much rather have the prestige of Supreme Court in Civil and Criminal cases. Another reason is that the legislature has ignored the needs of family court for a long time. There are simply not enough judges and the caseload is crushing. Just receiving a trial date can take months. Also, in every ACS case, every adjournment has to meet the schedules of three different attorneys, the can be very difficult. It is in this environment that ACS dysfunction thrives. ACS workers do not want an open and fair trial They prefer to accuse parents of abuse and then drag it out through the court system. In the interim, they demand that parents do useless "services" in order to help them become better parents. It is a completely corrupt system that needs to be addressed. As we have said many times. We need juries in Fami...

The ACS worker has a very powerful tool in her arsenal. In order to obtain secrets access to your children, they will pull your child out of class in their school. This happens most often at NYC public schools. The DOE has a policy that gives ACS free reign over your children. Thus, the ACS worker will interview your child in private and ask her or him all sorts of questions. This can be very upsetting to a child who has never met the worker and has no way to defend themselves. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Once you are aware that ACS has been called on you, realize that they will go to your school. The first thing is to advise your child, not to speak to strangers. Second, you must advise the school officials in writing that you do not want anyone speaking to your child without you present. NYC DOE will not help you.

The New York Times ran an article in their magazine describing how a computer model can tell acs workers which kids are abused and are in danger. This is patently absurd. The way to protect children is to hire. highly paid professionals who do their jobs. The abuse for this type of system will be massive. The ACS worker will just say " the computer says you're a bad parent" so we will remove your kids. Below is the article in full. This is another way to attack parents without accountability. T he call to Pittsburgh’s hotline for child abuse and neglect came in at 3:50 p.m. on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving 2016. Sitting in one of 12 cubicles, in a former factory now occupied by the Allegheny County Police Department and the back offices of the department of Children, Youth and Families, the call screener, Timothy Byrne, listened as a preschool teacher described what a 3-year-old child had told him. The little girl had said that a man, a friend of her mother’s, had b...

TOP ACS LIES   ACS workers  have the power to remove children from their parents home without a court order. This is the power they threaten every parent in NYC with and force them to comply. The vast majority of parents will be so frightened that they will do whatever the ACS worker demands. Here are some of the most common ACS worker lies that parents are told: 1. YOU MUST SPEAK TO US 2. YOU MUST LET US INTO YOUR HOME 3. YOU MUST TAKE A DRUG TEST. 4. THE INVESTIGATION WILL ONLY LAST 60 DAYS 5. IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY WE WILL GOT TO COURT 6. YOU DON'T GET A LAWYER NOW 7. MY SUPERVISOR WANTS ME TO DO THIS 8. WE ARE ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO YOUR CHILDREN ALONE. 9. YOU MUST SIGN MEDICAL RELEASES. 10. WE DO NOT NEED A JUDGE'S ORDER TO ENTER YOUR HOME. Do not fall for these lies. Fight back. Call a lawyer as soon as an ACS worker contacts you. The Law Office s of Michael S. Discioarro, Esq. is here to help. Call 917-519-8417.

ACS lawyers use varying tactics in court attack parents.One of the tactics that they use is to accuse the parent of not having"insight" into the things that they have done. What they mean is that the parent is denying the allegations made against him. By ACS standards, a parent who denies the allegations, is a bad parent with no insight. They actually resent this to a judge as an argument. Luckily, most judges are too savvy to fall for this trick but the parent must be on guard. We attack these lies by arguing that the client has been following all orders of the court and is looking forward to his trial. ACS must be held accountable at every stage. If you start to comply with their demands, you will find yourself in useless programs for years with no way out. If an ACS worker contacts you, you must immediately contact an attorney to protect your rights. Do not let ACS attack your family. ACSATTORNEYS.COM FIGHTACS.COM

We are often asked, how does ACS physically take the parents out of the parents home. The first and most blunt way is that the ACS worker will show up with police officers and physically remove the children and take them away. This of course is devastating tot the parents and causes children to be traumatized. ACS does nothing to try to help the children cope with this situation and callously transport the children to a processing center where they languish for days until a home can be found. The most common way that ACS removes kids is by tricking the parents to come to a meeting at the ACS office. The ACS worker and her supervisors will concoct some story about how they need to see the children. Once the children arrive they are separated from their parents and taken into foster care. Another way, is the ACS workers and the police will go and pick up the children at school,WITHOUT WARNING the parents. This may be the most devastating of all because the parents are called at work ...

This is the worst time for parents. ACS workers will show up at your door without notice and demand to be let in. The most important thing you can do when they arrive is to record the entire episode. The ACS worker will object and some tell parents that it is illegal to record them. This is imply not true. You need a record of what occured when ACS workers start to tell their lies. Record, record, record! Protect your rights. ACSATTORNEYS.COM QUEENSACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM BRONXACSLAWYER.COM

The answer yo this question is a resounding NO. Even experienced attorneys do not represent themselves in legal matters. The reason is that your emotional attachment to case will cloud your judgement. Also, and most importantly, ACS lawyers and workers often lie in court about everry facet of the case. You must have an experienced attorney next to you who knows how to attack these lies. The tactic of the ACS lawyer and worker is to always blame the parent and hide as many negative facts as possible. ACSATTORNEYS.COM

If there is a marital dispute between parents and ACS becomes aware of it, they will use this opportunity to attack the parents and force them into unnecessary "services" and will demand that one parent file for an order of protection against the other. This is especially true if a parent calls 911 because they are having a dispute. Parents who cooperate with ACS run the risk of losing their children. ACS will claim that the parent is doing nothing to stop he abuse. This is especially true of the woman calls 911. They will demand that she move into a shelter for abused women and that she never see her " abuser" again. This is all designed to keep the funding flowing to ACS. Each time a mother is placed in a domestic violence shelter, ACS receives tens of thousands of dollars from state and federal agencies. This adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars a year for this very incompetent agency. QUEENSDOMESTICVIOLENCELAWYER.COM QUEENSDOMESTICVIOLENCEATTORNEY...

With the new school year, the department of education in NYC will once again begin to call ACS on parents. The NYC DOE is a highly dysfunctional bureaucracy which is most interested in self preservation. The minute a teacher has a disagreement with a parent the DOE calls acs in order to protect their political turf. Parents must be very careful when dealing with school officials, the DOE is simply a recruiting agency for ACS workers. BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM FIGHTACS.COM
