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.

A Superb Lawyer

I had David fighting my custody battle and now my child support case. He was like an attack dog when calling out the B.S. and laying down the cold hard facts as they were. He didn't allow the court or the other party to trample my rights as the mother of these children for baseless accusations. I gen...uinely believe he will go all out for you as he has done for me. He was confident and supportive from the very beginning. He presented a respectful, kind, and caring demeanor. He was on time, he kept me informed, and we won the war!

A Sincere thank you.

In going through a divorce proceeding I had fallen behind supporting my son in college from my first marriage. The issues were complicated and involved different states. Davids professional competence and personal manner led me through the family court system to the best possible solution that I co...uld have hoped for. He is very easy to work with and clear on the law, procedures, and protocols you will face. He was aggressive and professional in representing my interests. I was served well as you will be.

Best Lawyer Ever!

I'm so glad I was able to reconnect with David Schnall after many years. He has done miracles for me and my family. Every court appearance resulted in a win. He handled my Child Custody, Family Offense Restraining Order, & Child Support. In addition he was able to handle all the ACS related issues th...at my ex was trying to throw my way. In the end I was granted Sole Custody and Permanent 2 year max restraining order from my ex. Very intelligent lawyer. He didn't skip at any objections thrown his way. Always made sure to be prepared prior to every appearance and familiarize himself with the case on hand. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

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.”
