Child Custody

David is very honest and straight to the point. He doesnt mislead and give false hope. Financial hardship came due to a work injury and Mr. Schnall worked with me and my family. A blessing in disguise and very understanding, humble attorney for family court.

extremely bright, smart and organized

David solved a case for me that was dragging for 3 years. He is on point with everything, knows his stuff and get straight to the point, I recommend highly this mature lawyer. I’ve hired 5 lawyers before him. He is by far the best. He will listen to you , respect you and put a plan in place . Leave ...your worries to him. He is what he says he is.

Rating:  5.4 (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.”
