When Child Protective Services becomes involved with your family, it’s important to understand what they are legally allowed to do—and how their actions can impact your life. While CPS is supposed to protect children from abuse or neglect, their investigations often go too far, too fast.
We help parents understand their rights and defend themselves when CPS steps in. If you’ve been contacted by CPS, do not wait to get legal advice.
If CPS believes a child is at risk, the agency can take a variety of actions:
In some cases, CPS can remove your child before you even appear in court. That’s why you need an experienced CPS defense lawyer the moment you learn they’re involved.
If CPS has contacted you or you’re under investigation, don’t wait. Every minute matters. Do not talk to CPS workers before speaking with a CPS Lawyer. Contact us now to schedule a confidential consultation and find out how we can help you protect your family and your future.
I retained Mr. Discioarro to help me fight the dysfunctional machine that is CPS. Every trick he warned me about, they tried to pull. They lied, bullied, interrogated, and attacked me. I knew I was innocent, and initially I assumed that if I cooperated with them, they would vindicate me and go away. Not so. ONLY after I hired him did CPS back down. Mr. Discioarro taught me to act on innocence, not fear. I don’t need their “help,” because I didn’t do anything. He told me not to be so deferential to them. He gave me the confidence to fight back.
After I panicked and stressed out about a surprising and ironic CPS case brought against me, Michael put my mind at ease. Michael was easy to understand and relaxed. He took care of business and knew what he was talking about. Most importantly, he took me seriously and cared about my situation with CPS. HE got the case dropped and all is WELL!
This man is fantastic. He eased my worries from the moment that I spoke to him. He has extensive knowledge and extensive experience with CPS. He knows what they can and cannot do and what they will try to do. He knows exactly how they function. It's not only his background that makes him such an effective attorney, it's his approach. From the moment I contacted him we was reassuring and confident. He assured me that I did not do anything wrong and that he was there for me. He's always available. He May seem like he's being short with you but HE IS NOT. He's your attorney and he keeps it professional and only wants to talk to you about matters relevant to the case. Hire him and trust him. I would recommend him to ANYONE.
I hired Michael due to a CPS case. He has made a traumatizing situation into something that was easy and simple. CPS was constantly harassing me and showing up at my door-and Michael was there every time. He was always available whenever I texted or called him. He is also very knowledgeable on how CPS works (CPS will lie and manipulate your words). He was worth every dollar-there’s no price limit on protecting your children-especially when CPS is involved. I highly recommend Michael as a lawyer-and to also watch his YouTube video-thats how I found him and knew he was the right lawyer to hire.
