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.

I met David online while looking for a lawyer to represent me in Newyork for a child custody battle between me and my Ex.I was able to reach him over the weekend we discussed the matter I immediately knew I liked him because he listened and he immediately understood my case and assured me how and wha...t we need to do.He also took time to reachout to my lawyer in Texas free of charge.his fees were very affordable we discussed again before the court date,covered all areas we could be exposed to unforseen forces.Boom!!! We won the the case.i do really appreciate his service, cost and professionalism.He's the best am living witness.

David was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. We were dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress concerning elder abuse and fighting against a guardianship petition submitted by family members who attempted to wrongfully strip away the rights of a fully capacitated elderly parent by... falsely accusing her of being incompetent. David not only walked us through the process but also provided strong fierce defense in the courtroom. In addition, he answered our questions, no matter how trivial. Now that the case is successfully over we can move forward and focus on healing. Words cannot express his outstanding and professional handling of every aspect of the case. We never knew David prior to this and only happened upon his services through an Internet search. We took a chance as we walked through the unknown legalities of a wrongful guardianship hearing and David did not disappoint. His offices were professional and located close to the Family Court and Queens Supreme Court for meetings prior to hearings. We would not hesitate to retain his services again or recommend him. We won!
