He nailed it !!!!

David handled my case like a pro. He was always honest with me, although sometimes I did not want to hear it . He listened to me and did what was right for me. He got the job done: My case was dropped. Thank you so much David . I wish you the best !!!

Wonderful lawyer!

David not only got me exactly what I wanted in terms of my court case but he is also sympathetic, kind and answered all of my questions immediately through a call or an email no matter what time or day it was. Could not ask for a better lawyer and I highly recommend him.

Defense against Wrongful Elderly Guardianship Petition

David was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. We were dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress concerning elder abuse and fighting against a guardianship petition submitted by family members who attempted to wrongfully strip away the rights of a fully capacitated elderly parent by... falsely accusing her of being incompetent. David not only walked us through the process but also provided strong fierce defense in the courtroom. In addition, he answered our questions, no matter how trivial. Now that the case is successfully over we can move forward and focus on healing. Words cannot express his outstanding and professional handling of every aspect of the case. We never knew David prior to this and only happened upon his services through an Internet search. We took a chance as we walked through the unknown legalities of a wrongful guardianship hearing and David did not disappoint. His offices were professional and located close to the Family Court and Queens Supreme Court for meetings prior to hearings. We would not hesitate to retain his services again or recommend him. We won!

I'm very happy that he represented me.

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.

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.”
