Amazing

Mr. David Schnall is most liable lawyer I have ever dealt with. He answered every question I had not matter the time of the day. Made my divorce go smooth as possible and quick. I normally do not write a review, but with his hard work he definitely deserves a five star.

Rating:  5.5 (Average)

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.”
