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 Schnall is an excellent lawyer. There has three occasions that I needed his help and I won three times. He is professional, he hears you out and he is very intentional with his clients needs. There’s been moments when I would feel nervous in court but he would reassure me that everything would ...be ok. I highly recommend him.

Mr. David Schnall has done an excellent job for me. He always encouraged me to be upfront and honest with my information, which I did. He also had an exemplary plan of execution In order to get us the best results. He went above and beyond as an attorney to get to know me as a person and not just ano...ther one of his clients. To say he relieved the burden of stress that I was going through would be an extreme understatement. I can honestly say not only have I gained an excellent attorney but I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful person thereby more importantly, I gained a friend. If you are going through a divorce and excellent representation is of paramount importance to you, David is indeed the best lawyer for the job in my humble opinion

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.

I contacted multiple lawyers for my muddy divorce case. I got either ghosted, some wanted to start contested divorce without trying to negotiate, another lawyer referred me to a lawyer who "knows" the judge. Others, didn't want to deal with a case that might turn into a contested divorce. When I sent... him a text on his website, he responded very quickly and he said he can work on it as uncontested and if my ex wife refuses, he will turn it into contested divorce. He sent me the worksheet and I negotiated with my ex the divorce terms and we were about to finish it without getting into any issues.
