Discioarro, a top-rated trial attorney and former Bronx Sex Crimes prosecutor, our firm is singularly dedicated to one mission: protecting your family and defending your parental rights. We know how ACS works, we know the tactics they use, and we know how to fight back. When your family is on the line, you need an aggressive, experienced, and relentless advocate in your corner. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because we know crises don’t keep business hours. 📞
Specialized Defense for Families
Our practice is sharply focused on ACS defense and Family Court litigation. This specialization gives our clients a significant advantage. We are not a general practice firm; we are experts in this complex and high-stakes area of law.
- Child Custody Lawyers: We aggressively defend parents in all matters before the Family Court. We fight to keep families together against allegations of abuse or neglect, representing you at every stage, from initial ACS interviews to court appearances and trials.
- Domestic Violence Lawyers: False allegations of domestic violence are often used in ACS cases and can lead to the issuance of an Order of Protection, forcing you out of your home. We provide a vigorous defense against these claims to protect your rights and your access to your children.
- Criminal Defense Lawyers: An ACS investigation can sometimes lead to parallel criminal charges. Mr. Discioarro’s background as a prosecutor provides our clients with an unparalleled edge in defending against any related criminal allegations, ensuring a comprehensive and coordinated defense strategy.
- ACS Investigations and Fair Hearings: We guide parents through the entire intimidating process of an ACS investigation, from the moment a caseworker knocks on your door. We also represent clients in Fair Hearings to have unfounded ACS reports expunged from the state register.
