THE DANGER OF THE ACS HOME VISITS

 The bulk of the street level work that ACS does is the home visit. ACS workers take this opportunity to attack the parents in any ay that they can. Initially the ACS worker will demand that the parents not record them. They will actually give you orders in your own home. Do not allow them to do this. If you have been contacted by ACS, contact our hotline at      917-519-8417 Do not speak to an acs worker without an attorney!! brooklynacslawyer.com queensacslawyer.com bronxacslawyer.com statenislandacslawyer.com sueacs.com

By: LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL DISCIOARRO BRONX, N.Y.  -  June 8, 2022  -  PRLog  -- "These facts are so outrageous they need to be judged by a jury." Mr. Discioarro said. In  new lawsuit in the case of  X.J v ACS ,  ACS  filed a petition of neglect against and innocent mother, removed her child who had special needs, only to dismiss the case three days after it was filed.

CAN I SUE ACS?

 This is on elf the most asked questions we receive. You can either file the lawsuit yourself or retain at n attorney to file it on your behalf. When suing an agency like ACS,  you  must be familiar with all of the legal procedures. I would advise most people to retain an attorney. Whether or not an attorney will accept your case is based on the facts of your individual ACS case. ACS workers routinely violate the rights of parents and are never held accountable in most cases. The type of attorney that usually will sue on your behalf is usually a personal injury lawyer who regularly sues the city and police. Stand up for your rights!

WHY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ACS GO NOWHERE

 We are often asked, who parents can g complain to about ACS and especially ACS workers. The real answer is, no one. ACS is an agency that is beyond being shamed or attacked or punished in any way. It is an agency that has failure as its hallmark. This is an agency that has, through its incompetence, allowed children to die in unsafe homes, yet at the same time attacking innocent parents. In fact, when ACS allows a child to die, the mayor and commissioner hold a press conference stating how this should never have happened and how ACS will obtain moire training and money. The ACS budget is now over 3 billions dollars. And no one has any idea how this money is spent. In fact, a judge in Manhattan recently held ACS in contempt for not buying a handicapped child a new wheelchair. This is child abuse in its worst way. The only way to fight ACS is in court before an neutral judge. There are a few courageous judges that stand up to ACS and will hold them accountable. We also tell parent...

YOU CAN STILL BE INDICATED FOR CHILD ABUSE EVEN IF CASE IS DISMISSED

THE New York TIMES RAN THE FOLLOWING STORY TODAY ON THE DANGERS OF BEING INDICATED FOR CHILD ABUSE. GO TO THIS LINK. FIGHTACS.CO M BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM ADVERTISEMENT The issue has become especially urgent as more people apply to become home health aides, one of the fastest growing industries in the country. In New York, agencies that work with children or vulnerable adults are required to screen job applicants through the registry. Last year, the state processed more than 316,000 of those background checks. Parents and their advocates are pushing elected officials to consider reducing the amount of time a name lingers on the register to five years, with some exceptions.

THE ACS 60 DAY INVESTIGATION LIE

According to ACS policy, ACA has 60 days to wrap up an investigation once they receive a report of child abuse. ACS workers like to tell parents of this "60 day rule" because it gives the parent false hope that the investigation will come to an en in 60 days and there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is just one problem, its a complete lie. ACS workers do not follow any time frames in terms of investigating parents. They will often disappear for months, only to turn up at the home demanding that the parent enter into services. If they find that a case is too difficult and will require a lot of work, they will end the investigation early and make it appear as if they have completed it. In some cases ACS waits months before going to court and trying to remove the child in an "emergency removal" with the help of the police. Do no believe the ACS worker when they say the investigation will only last 60 days, its simply a tactic.       QUEENSACSATTORNEY.CO M....

UNDUE JUDICIAL INFLUENCE IN ACS CASES

As we have discussed in the past, there are no juries in Family Court . Thus, all of the power resides in the judge. So when a judge has an opinion about a case, both parties have to heed that opinion. In once recent case, we were defending a family in court when the judge excluded the family from court and had a conference with only the lawyers. This is common in almost every area of law. Judges, with limited time, try to settle cases. The problem in family court is that because there are no juries, what the judge says is law. In most other areas of law you can tell a judge that you would like a juries opinion about case. This underscores the need for juries in Family Court . There simply is no reason why a fair society must give all the power to one individual in matters as important as this. ACSATTORNEY.COM

JUDGES IN FAMILY COURT IN NYC HAVE ALL OF THE POWER

The Family Court Act is the New York Law that governs Family Courts in New York state. A simple reading of this law, will show you how much power family court judges have in the state. They, and only they, decide what happens to your children. With that understanding, ACS workers and lawyers have a keen understanding of each judge and will craft their case accordingly. In criminal and civil courts, the juries have the ultimate say. There is no reason why parents do not deserve juries in Family Court to judge them if they have neglected their child We recently had one ACS lawyer tell us that Family Court is not " punitive'. This is simply an outrageous remark. What could be more punitive than losing your child?  Family Court proceedings are hidden from the light of the public because no juries are allowed. Parents are abused by an A CS bureaucracy that is concerned only with its self-preservation. It is time for juries in Family Court ACS cases.

HOW ACS WEARS DOWN PARENTS IN COURT

The shock of having ACS accuse you of child abuse is often overwhelming to parents. Now they must deal with the NYC Family Court. To begin with, every county has its own Family Court. They are often crowded, loud and there is simply no order. Once a  parent actually enters the courtroom they will soon realize ALL of the power belongs to the judge. There are no juries in New York Family Court. This allows ACS to tailor their cases to a specific judge. Over the years ACS has learned how to intimidate and coerce judges into accepting their way of doing business. We often hear in conferences " This is how things are in Family Court." Because no juries ever get to hear a case, it is a very insular system that does not receive the scrutiny that it deserves. It is simply outrageous that if a person is injured in a car acciden, a jury decides if they receive money, but if the state tries to remove your child, only a judge decides that. Next, the adjourn dates last over a year in mo...

CAN I SUE ACS?

We get this question from many clients and parents who are desperate to hold ACS accountable. The answer is YES, but there are many obstacles. First, since ACS is a city agency, notice must be served withing 90 days. Hoever, if you are suing in federal court some of these time limitations do not apply. We are often asked what type of lawyer would file this lawsuit. These types of cases are considered civil actions and are mainly brought by personal injury lawyers and lawyers that have experience in suing New York City and its agencies. Usually, these cases are done on contingency fees. That means the client does not pay the attorney, but will share in the winnings if any. So, your case must be one that a civil attorney sees has a good chance of winning. If you decide to contact one, before you meet them, try and prepare a detailed package about your case for him to review. This will make things easier for the attorney and you will receive a faster answer on how successful he thinks yo...
