Facing our worst fear, David Schnall came through 100%

A legal issue came up with our son which my wife and I were very worried about. David didn't promise us anything but he was confident he could put this issue to bed. We told him what we wanted and he didn't back down. In the end we got exactly what we wanted. David genuinely cares. He stayed in touch... and called to prep us before court. I will add that the same issue came up with our daughter but we lost on that because we had another attorney at the time.

Excelllent attorney

Succinct, effective, personable and professional. The best. As a father himself, he knew how important my case was to me. He was dilligent and had great follow-up. Best lawyer I could have had by my side. Recommend him to everyone and anyone.

David Schnall review

David Schnall took the time to answer all my questions and explained the various processes for my 4 different cases as well as my divorce. Every time I reached out for guidance, legal expertise or corcerns he'd reply promptly. He made a very difficult time a bit less stressful. All my cases worked o...ut better than I expected. I only have one still pending due to circumstances beyond his or my own control.

A True Fighter

I had the pleasure of dealing with David and let me tell you guys he is very straight to the point. He will tell you what he can do and even work a miracle. He communicated with me through his cell and text and gave me hope. David was there for me to the very end and looked out for the best interest... of my daughter, I will never forget him and highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

Great Family Attorney!

I retained David Schnall for my child csupport cases, and I am more than thrilled with my choice in lawyers. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Family Court system, and was thoroughly in representing me in court. He was always accessible and willing to listen to my concerns. I am highly satisfied w...ith the outcome of all my cases.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.

Suspension issued in NY, 2016

updated on 12/07/2017

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

David’s comment:

“Suspension was solely due to a personal tax issue with New York State and had nothing to do with the practice of law. This firm has represented over one thousand clients and there has never been a complaint from a client and no discipline has ever been administered as result of the representation of a client.”
