I am so glad that alternatives are available for my clients. I often find it best to recommend immediate enrollment in ABS outpatient services for defendants arrested for domestic violence, assaults, or sexual offenses. This helps them not only legally but emotionally and behaviorally. I was instantly able to find services at ABS for clients that speak English, Polish, Russian and other languages.

The hardest decisions I must make are pertaining to the welfare for children suspected of abuse or neglect from homes shattered due to anger, domestic violence, addiction or sexual abuse. Especially when blame is pointed in all directions. Having birth parents’ cooperation with ABS Human Betterment Programs always helps with decisions leading to reunification.

ABS’s Division of Forensic Behavioral Sciences Sexual Behavior Programs has been one of the most reliable programs respected by the New York State Unified Court System for as long as I can remember.

The accurate and expedient progress reporting is always appreciated at ABS. It helps with the monitoring and supervision of probationers on my caseload. I like the way the clinical team always finds time for consultation when it is needed, and I also like that those services are covered by most insurances.

I was accused of something I did not do. My behavior was misunderstood. The allegations traumatized me and caused me to have to face allegers in both criminal and family court. I even got fired from my job. The ordeal made me sick with shame, embarrassment, depression and panic. My attorney recommended I seek out additional help. ABS understood me. ABS gave me the confidence to rebuild my self-esteem, fix my problems and rebuild my life.
