Billie you are simply amazing!

As you know such a drastic change in ones life brings about an overwhelming amount of stress confusion and whatever else. Thanks to Bella and her aid and guidance I have been able to keep my focus on being the best man and father I can be. I felt very comfortable and informed through my entire proc...es. I would highly recommend her services to any and all.

Compassionate, very knowledgeable, kind, excellent negotiator

I had an extraordinary experience with Bella Schnall when I used her services to negotiate a pre-nuptual agreement just before my marriage. Such an agreement is a difficult one in the any relationship because there are issues related to finances and, at the same time, there is a delicate balance that... has to be achieved so that the romantic relationship remains intact. Ms. Schnall skillfully negotiated many crucial issues with my husband's lawyer so that both my husband and I were satisfied with the outcome of the agreement. Throughout the negotiation process, Ms. Schnall was kind, compassionate and empathetic in her dealings with me. What more could you ask of a family lawyer? I was very lucky to be represented by Bella Schnall, a lawyer who is thoroughly versed in the law, an excellent negotiator and a warm, caring person.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
