Experienced Representation in Child Protective Services Cases in New York

We were trying to file our divorce as affordably as possible, but with these disagreements, it seemed we were headed to Family Court. I contacted Mr. Elliot Schlissel at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP and he agreed to represent me. Thankfully, we never had to actually go to court and we came to terms during our hearing proceedings.

For many years, my sister had been on drugs, but she got help and got clean. It seemed her life was on the right track and she even met a man and had a daughter with him.

He let me know that an investigation could begin to see if my niece was being neglected or abused and that she could be placed with me if that was the case. Now my sister is back in rehab and my niece is living with me until her mother gets her life back on track.

My son went to school with a cut on his head and told his teacher that his mother had pushed him down. As his father, I witnessed when he cut his head, which was due to him playing rough with his brother.

When the threat of removing him from our home came up, I called Nathan DeCorpo at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP. He worked with us and the school to clear everything up.

With the help of Nathan DeCorpo, the charges against me were dropped when my wife admitted she was angry and wanted to cause me some trouble.

Now, I have a supervised time and date each time when I am to have my kids, which means my ex-wife has no excuses or recourses when it's time to hand them over and let them spend the weekends with me.
