David Schorr resolved my case

As most people are aware, divorce can be a difficult, drawn out process. With attorney David Schorr's guidance and patience I was able to complete my divorce case and move on with life. David also assisted me in rectifying a few post divorce matters and I will continue to utilize his services. Mr. Sc...horr is very knowledgeable and I wished I had engaged him at the inception of my case.

DISGUSTED BY LAW BUT VERY WELL REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL

David Schorr has represented me for over ten years now. David has been a an excellent attorney in my matters. He has not only abided and conducted himself by the principle of ethics, he has also gone beyond with his concerns for my [and my family's] mental and emotional well being. I have felt nothi...ng but confidence in his actions and decisions in my cases. I am also immensely grateful for his attention to not only protecting my legal rights, but also his attention to resolving the dispute. He tries to settle differences not just win cases. I love that the most about him. And the unscripted moments of humor and merriment over the years have been priceless [and antidotal.] Reciprocal trust, courtesy and respect are the hallmarks of the attorney-client relationship. I have that with David Schorr. Lawyers are an indispensable part of the pursuit of justice. David Schorr will advocate for, and advise, you well in that oftentimes turbulent pursuit of that oftentimes opaque justice.

Amazing, genuine and ethical family law attorney! The best of the best!

After filing for divorce and facing an uphill battle in court in a highly contested divorce and child custody proceeding, I had lost all hope after witnessing a biased warped court system where quid pro quo and " who knows who " seemed to be the only thing that mattered. The scales of justice are mea...nt to represent a fair and balanced system but my experience has taught me differently. I never in my life would have imagined that my life and circumstance could turn the exact opposite, but that is exactly what happened after David became my attorney! He changed my child and my world around and was able to get everyone on board and communicate always with genuine and clear intentions. Not like most other lawyers that I've encountered who always either seem to have a hidden agenda, pour fuel on the fire, or want to drag it out in court only for their own benefit. David will go above and beyond, always find time for you, work all kinds of hours whether a weekend or late at night, whatever it will take to get to where you need to be. He works tirelessly, listens to you, and avoids all the drama by navigating the court system and the law in such a delicate and ethical manner and makes you feel safe and knowing that you are in great hands. David was not only able to turn things around for me and my child, but he was also able to get my divorce finalized where everyone was able to walk away content and without arguments. David is truly unique in his approach and he genuinely cares about his clients and even more importantly he genuinely cares about your child's future and well-being. I feel both blessed and grateful every day for all that David has done for me and my child and I can never thank him enough for helping me see an end to the pain and sorrow I went through during the entire process.

He is an ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorney

Mr. Schorr represented me for a visitation case in 2017-2021 to handle my interests in a protective order. While my request was quite procedural and didn't require a lawyer, I thought it best to ensure that a professional took care of everything and nothing was missing from the documentation that wou...ld cause a delay. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have Mr. Schorr representing me! He made the entire process run smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. He was extremely flexible with my schedule and was happy to correspond strictly by email/phone as in-person meetings would be difficult for me. David handled everything with minimal fuss and all that was required of me was to appear in court on an agreed date. He informed me of what to expect, what to say and even went above and beyond to let me know what my next steps are after the court phase. In addition to being a highly qualified and extremely qualified attorney, David exhibits rare acquisitions in his clients that put him at ease in the knowledge that his case will be handled completely, professionally and correctly the first time. Thank you David for all your hard work for making the least stressful part of a very difficult and painful event in my life and for handling my case with so much experience and most importantly for making the whole process easy! You are absolutely the best lawyer and I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done!

Talented, efficient, cost effective non-nonsense litigator

I was with a "well known" matrimonial attorney who did nothing but create more drama and stoke the flames of rancor and increased cost. I was introduced to David as someone who was devoid of all of that and who would get to the heart of the matter: resolution From the get go, I saw that he was ve...ry serious about this. The questions he asked made it clear to me that he wanted to zealously advocate for me while removing the theatrics that is innate in matrimonial court The judge saw this as well and when opposing counsel started creating drama in court, the judge looked to David as the sane person in the room for his take on things (knowing David was not going to embellish things nor engage in drama). I didnt realize how important this was He finished my divorce in a swift manner and this kept cost down as well as the animosity Matrimonial court is brutal and the attorneys we choose matter. David was the right choice for me.
