Mr Schnall showed interest & concerns in my case he was very straight forward with me which is very good and because of him my case was successful & I got everything I wanted also I love the fact that he... didn't over charge me like most attorneys not only was he reasonable with his price Mr schnall was about his work & winning my case which is excellent & I would highly recommend him to anyone. I'm very happy that he represented me.

THIS ATTORNEY WAS THE BEST LAWYER I EVER PURCHASED, This attorney was very professional, very passionate & concerned about my case.

I MUST SAY YOU WILL LOVE THIS MAN AS YOUR ATTORNEY. HE CAN FEEL WHAT YOUR DEALING WITH, MR SCHNALL CAN ALSO RELATE, THAT PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES OR MADE MISTAKES IN LIFE. MR SCHNALL DOESN'T JUDGE YOU BASED ON YOUR HISTORY OF PAST TENSE MATTERS, NOW THATS NOT ONLY A GOOD ATTORNEY, THATS A GREAT PERSON TO KNOW LET ALONE REPRESENT YOU!! IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY WORTH YOU TIME & DOLLAR, LOOK NO MORE!!! THIS MAN WILL TRULEY GO ALL OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU WIN, THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN LOSE WITH THIS ATTORNEY & IF YOU DO LOSE ANY CASE WITH THIS MAN, YOU DIDNT HAVE A CASE TO BEGIN WITH!!! I WON MY SON BACK AGAINST ODDS THAT WERE IMPOSSIBLE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS ATTORNEY IS ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BEST & YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING, JUST HIRER HIM & WATCH THE WORK HE DOES BECAUSE ITS REMARKABLE & YOU WILL BE A HAPPY PERSON ONCE VICTORY IS YOURS TO CELEBRATE. THIS MAN WAS GREAT & MAY HE BE BLESSED FOR ALL HE DOES IN HELPPING PEOPLE INEED OF SOMEONE LIKE HIM. IM A HAPPY INDEPENDENT FATHER BECAUSE OF MR DAVID SCHNALL & IM ABLE TO BE A LOVING & PEACEFUL DAD BECAUSE OF THIS ATTORNEY'S DEDICATION & COMMITTEE IN WINNING ALL HE CAN FOR MY CASE. THANK GOD FOR LAWYERS LIKE HIM, HE WAS EVEN WORTH THE CONSULTATION MEETING, WHICH I TIRED TO AVOID.

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.

David Schnall review

David Schnall took the time to answer all my questions and explained the various processes for my 4 different cases as well as my divorce. Every time I reached out for guidance, legal expertise or corcerns he'd reply promptly. He made a very difficult time a bit less stressful. All my cases worked o...ut better than I expected. I only have one still pending due to circumstances beyond his or my own control.

Great Family Attorney!

I retained David Schnall for my child csupport cases, and I am more than thrilled with my choice in lawyers. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Family Court system, and was thoroughly in representing me in court. He was always accessible and willing to listen to my concerns. I am highly satisfied w...ith the outcome of all my cases.

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.”
