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

HOW ACS SERVES LEGAL NOTICE ON PARENTS

The Family Court Act and the New York Civil Procedure Law spell out exactly how a parent should be notified to appear in court. These are legally mandated rules that must be followed by anyone in the court system. Well, here is how ACS attempts to serve parents of a legal notice. Our clients found this under their door. The name of the client is wrong, it does not give any information about the case and is absolutely not acceptable as a form of legal service. This is yet another example of the dysfunction at ACS. This agency has the power to remove children and cannot even properly serve a parent. It is a disgrace. brooklynacslawyer.com
