David Schnall

I originally contacted Attorney David Schnall in July of 2024 during a stressful and time-sensitive situation. My son had just begun living with me full-time, and I needed to get him registered in my school district. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to go through Queens Family Court to update ...the residential custody order. Even though I hadn’t retained him yet, Mr. Schnall generously took the time to speak with me and guide me on the steps needed to get my son enrolled without delay. His professionalism, deep understanding of family law, and willingness to help left a strong impression.Nearly a year later, after working with two prior attorneys during a drawn-out custody battle, I chose to retain Mr. Schnall as my third attorney. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the start, he brought clarity, direction, and a strategic approach to a case that had become overly complicated. His knowledge of the court system, his ability to break things down, and his advocacy for the best interests of my child were exactly what I needed. Although he was unavailable to appear on the date of one court appearance, he sent his colleague, Attorney Nelly Gordpour, Esq., who was equally impressive. She was well-prepared, professional, and confidently represented my case, showing that Mr. Schnall’s entire team operates at the highest level. Mr. Schnall is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and realistic—traits that are rare to find in one attorney. He truly listens, communicates clearly, and ensures you’re informed every step of the way. He has been consistent, responsive, and completely committed to securing the best outcome for my child. If you’re involved in a custody case or family matter and need an attorney who is strategic, knowledgeable, and truly cares, I highly recommend Attorney David Schnall. He is more than just legal counsel—he is a trusted advocate who delivers results when it matters most.

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.

David made the impossible, possible for my custody situation. Not only did he successfully accomplish all that I had wanted, but he exceeded all expectations. He was professional, compassionate and was able to get the job done in a timely matter. Will definitely recommend and use for future and all l...egal matters. Thank you for everything! You were amazing.
