Best Attorney Around Without a Doubt

I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney David Schnipper, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, David was exceptional. He not only solved my case with impressive expertise but also made sure to address my concerns at every step of the process. His g...enuine care for his clients is evident in how he approaches his work. Mr. Schnipper takes his responsibilities seriously and consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to achieving the best outcomes. If you need a dedicated and compassionate attorney, David Schnipper is the one to trust and more importantly the best overall choice under any circumstances.

Willingness to help any way he can.

I contacted Mr Schnipper and found that his practice was not within the jurisdiction that was relevant to my issue. That didn't stop him from going the extra mile to access information that could lead me to someone relevant. I was so impressed with this man's humanity and generosity of spirit. He mus...t sleep very well at night for the goodness that he does for his fellow man. He restores my faith in humanity and the law profession. I wish him the best and would recommend him to anybody who might need his services. Thank you!

Client

My criminal situation occurred over the Christmas Holiday and David aggressively worked to get me bailed from holding during this time. In so doing, David sacrificed his own holiday time which I will never forget. Further, David was able to ultimately get my charges dismissed completely. David's aggr...essive willingness to work and his deep knowledge of the law created a great outcome that allowed me to put this terrible incident behind me. From my own personal experience, I can confidently recommend David's services to anyone in need of a skilled and aggressive defense attorney.

You will get pleasure after you fired him

Oh, no... I did not mean it. He is so Excellent in so many respects: 1. Excellent salesman: He correctly calculated that the Law is the most profitable area for a salesman, who he is; 2. Excellent in productivity: His retainer contract tells that he earned his 5-figure fee at the moment of sign...ing the contract. Do the math - this is Infinitely high productivity in Zero seconds. Of course, there is no reason for him to work after that; he already got his retainer payment; 3. Excellent educator: after I eventually FIRED him as useless Attorney, I started defending myself Pro Se and WON all cases that he tried to bury forever (to please the opposing party). I educated myself in Law on the way. I now sue the opposing party for Damages - sorry, Mr.Schnipper will not get any commission; 4. Excellent source of satisfaction: this is the feeling which I had, when I FIRED him.

As you have posted this review, it is very hard for me to address what you have posted. However, I will try, in my 10 plus years of experience in speaking to clients, potential clients, all of the former clients that still call me today, I have never conducted myself in a manner that you falsely suggest nor has anyone ever insinuated such fabrications. I am honest and direct. I have always provided the best guidance possible when asked about potential cases. Unfortunately, sometimes what I suggest may not be what the potential client wants to hear. Because what you posted is inconsistent with my other results, reviews and what my colleagues say about me in the community, I am forced to believe that this review posted by you is not valid, and that it's unfortunately a bot, a scam or a competitor. I have never had any client directly contact me with this type of complaint; And, I would encourage you to reach out to me directly and I would be happy to address your matter with you.
