The Best Lawyer ever

If you are looking for a good lawyer they are easy to find anywhere. If you are looking for a truly great lawyer David Schnall is the person you are looking for. He will not give up on you and he will fight to the end to help you. He is considerate to you and will always go the extra 100 mile if nee...d be.He has won full custody for me and also the best child and spousal support. As I said a great lawyer this is one person to have on your side when you would like to win. The other side does not stand a chance against him.

The Very BEST!

David Schnall is sensitive and kind while maintaining true professionalism and an inner knowledge of the effort one must put forth to endure a custody case. He gave extra time,extra clarity, validation when needed, and certainly patience. He knows the system, recognizes it's advantages/disadvantages ...and works well within it's limits. I hired him TWICE! It isn't just that we won,,, It's that David realistically reassured me which gave me the confidence I needed to continue in a nerve-wracking, heartbreaking case, seeing it to fruition. His support was beyong compare! Hire him!

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.”
