best family law attorney in savannah

I hired Mr. Schachter in October of 2018 to regain custody of my 6 year old son. I hired another attorney 5 months beforehand and needless to say that turned out to be a disaster. David quickly fixed my previous attorney's horrendous mistakes and took an abundance of time and consideration on my ca...se. He took the time to collect every detail and every piece of evidence I had, even made great suggestions on things I should obtain for our case. He offers suggestions but in the end will do what YOU want to do. He makes sure you have a say in everything he does, which is phenomenal. My case was not easy, but David and I prevailed in the end and my son is now currently here with me in Savannah to stay. If i would have continued with my previous lawyer I would probably not be able to say the same. If you're on the fence on who to turn to in a rough time, David is your guy. He blows other attorneys out of the water. He follows the book and knows EXACTLY how the laws work. David, quite frankly makes opposing lawyers look like they have no idea what they're doing. Dont give your ex an opportunity to hire him!! This is the man you want on your side! I can't thank David enough for all that he did for me and my family.

Excellent Experience

Best experience considering the situation. My Ex and her attorney had been building their divorce case for two years. David Schachter destroyed their entire case after I contacted him one day prior to the hearing (not recommended to wait that long). His knowledge and love for his work can be felt ...at the first call to his receptionist (leaders transfer their energy). I could continue, but you get my point. He flipped the script on my ex in court, destroyed their narrative, and got me, a father, joint physical custody. In a matter of hours he fixed problems orchestrated by the other side for years. Highly recommend David and his team.

Divorce

My daughter did a lot of research to find me the best divorce attorney in Savannah. She urged me to hire David. I’m very happy I did as he got me a great settlement. I received both our homes and almost all the equity in them. I was able to keep all my money which was significantly larger than his. H...e also had to pay the last three years mortgage payments, taxes and insurance he hadn’t paid since he left. it was a long process but well worth waiting for the end result. I would definitely hire David again and recommend him to others.

Best Divorce Attorney Period

David and his team are exceptional. Hiring him to counter the ruthless attorney representing my ex was the best decision I made. I had other counsel before I decided they were not up to the task of trial in my case. At first I was nervous to switch attorneys in the midst of my case because the proces...s up to that point had already been quite expensive. I went with my gut and made the switch and it was the best thing I could have done. It was still expensive, but it was also worth every penny. I know for a certainty that without David's hard work and skill there is no way I would have achieved the favorable outcome I did in my case. And in my opinion no other attorney besides David could have accomplished what he did on my behalf, especially as far into the case as we were at that point. My prior counsel had overlooked so many things in my case and the case was very far enough along to the point where many deadlines for opportunities to discover information had already expired. David fought for me and he was relentless. The assets at stake in my divorce were substantial. Mr. Schachter is detailed and he knows strategy, which was crucial in my case. It all paid off! David was marvelous in court. He exposed my ex and his attorney for all of their lies and flipped the script on the entire case. The other side was reeling in shock throughout the trial. My ex's attorney had mislead the court to believe that this was a simple case and not an alimony case. We made reasonable settlement offers, but the other side was greedy and rejected them all. In court David's trial performance was so superb that we won more in court than we requested, and far more than we were willing to settle for outside of court. I know that not many people can make such a claim, but in my case it's the absolute truth. While divorce is a horrible experience, The Schachter Law Firm made this process more favorable than one could expect in such unfortunate circumstances. The final result in my case was a tremendous victory, and I know that it is rare that someone can say that about a divorce case. Regardless of the complexity of your case you should run to hire Mr. Schachter. And if the other side hires David first you should really consider settling. Nothing gets past him. My ex made the mistake of thinking he was too smart and could explain everything his way. Big mistake. David exposed it all and made my ex look like a complete fool on the stand. Nothing my ex said to try to explain his lies made any sense. David is simply the best at what he does!

Worth his weight in gold.

Just got finished with my final divorce hearing today. David is an advocate for his clients like none other. He truly cares about what matters to you and caters his approach to meet your needs. David completely obliterated the opposing client, witness, and counsel in my case. I initially feared the o...pposing counsel, as I had heard how unethical and ruthless her firm was. After meeting with David for the first time, I knew I had found the right attorney to represent me. David is a highly ethical man who should be the highest paid divorce attorney in town. If you’re thinking about hiring him, you’re wasting your time. I have no doubt that I could not have hired a better attorney in my time of need. I wasted money on an attorney before hiring David and I now realize what a huge waste of money it was. Thank you David.
