NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

Parents are often shocked to hear that an ACS worker went to their child's school, pulled them out of class and interviewed them without the parents consent. This is an every day tactic that ACS workers employ. Even after they have visited the home, the ACS workers will go to the school in hopes of having the children make statements that they can use against the parents. The goal of the ACS worker is to manufacture as much damaging information against the parents in order to force the parents to enter useless ACS programs. Thus ensuring that ACS keeps being funded.

While you can file a lawsuit pro se ( without a lawyer), the laws regarding suing the City and the legal procedures are simply too complicated for a non-lawyer to be effective.

You may have noticed on the NYC subways, that, like many businesses, ACS has had to start advertising. This is because of the plummeting caseloads in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

This highly dysfunctional agency will only become more dangerous when, as reported by the NY Times, there are 400 new ACS workers being hired this month. The Mayor should be ashamed of this agency and immediately conduct a top down review of its leadership. The children of this city deserve better. BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM ACSATTORNEY.COM

We have always strongly advised to record the ACS worker. We advise clients to tell the ACS worker that they are being recorded. It would be best to make a video recording. The ACS worker will react in a very negative manner. They will wrongly tell the parent that it is illegal to record her and that she does not want to be recorded. New York law allows in most cases to record your own conversations. As soon as you are aware that an ACS worker is coming after your family. contact an attorney ASAP. You can always advised the ACS worker that you are represented by counsel. BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM
