Highly recommend!

David Schnall is an amazing person and a great lawyer. He has a heart but also great legal skills. He was extremely informative and straight forward with what I could expect with my case. He was accommodating to my circumstances and looked out for my best interest. Therefore, we were successful in wi...nning our case.

Excellent Esquire

Mr. David Schnall has done an excellent job for me. He always encouraged me to be upfront and honest with my information, which I did. He also had an exemplary plan of execution In order to get us the best results. He went above and beyond as an attorney to get to know me as a person and not just ano...ther one of his clients. To say he relieved the burden of stress that I was going through would be an extreme understatement. I can honestly say not only have I gained an excellent attorney but I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful person thereby more importantly, I gained a friend. If you are going through a divorce and excellent representation is of paramount importance to you, David is indeed the best lawyer for the job in my humble opinion

Excellent family attorney

David was amazing. I was represented on a child support hearing and David had all of my arrears reduced and made sure my child support payments did not go up. I’m in this dilemma where this woman lied to me about not being on birth control and stuck me up with child support. At the same time sh...e is not letting me see the kid, even with a court order. David gets things done, he is very knowledgeable in the court system processes and is very compassionate to any unique situations.

Child Support

David is an amazing attorney. He works with you, so he is affordable. He also responds within 24 hours and keeps you updated on your case. I have referred him to all my friends and family. Very grateful for the help I always receive from him. He worked for me 20 years ago on a custody and child supp...ort case and worked for me this year again and I am truly satisfy. I will forever be grateful to you David Schnall.

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.”
