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.

Custody

David Schnall is a great lawyer. Very knowledgeable and understanding guy. He was able to get me everything I wanted in my custody case and we won! If you need someone to fight for you and help you get custody make sure you hire David.

Posted by Ahmed | December 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

If you are looking for uncontested divorce, Mr. David is an excellent lawyer.

I contacted multiple lawyers for my muddy divorce case. I got either ghosted, some wanted to start contested divorce without trying to negotiate, another lawyer referred me to a lawyer who "knows" the judge. Others, didn't want to deal with a case that might turn into a contested divorce. When I sent... him a text on his website, he responded very quickly and he said he can work on it as uncontested and if my ex wife refuses, he will turn it into contested divorce. He sent me the worksheet and I negotiated with my ex the divorce terms and we were about to finish it without getting into any issues.

David is the best Lawyer in the state of New York hands down

I know lawyers have a bad rap in general but David is the exception rather than the rule. I’ve hired David a couple of times over the years and he has never disappointed. He fights for his clients with a passion unmatched by no other attorney that I have ever dealt with. He goes into the court room (...physically and virtually) and fights for his clients like if he was representing his own family’s interest. Triple A+ lawyer. I highly recommend.

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.”
