Divorce is unpleasant, but...

I retained David when I was getting divorced. I found him to be rational and thoughtful in his approach to presenting my case, and meticulous in the analysis of the opposing side's responses. He listened carefully to understand my situation, and guided me to understanding what really matters in Co...urt. Ultimately, my divorce was resolved without extended litigation, and I received a reasonable settlement that enables me to move on with my life. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I would recommend David to anyone who is considering divorce.

Best Family Attorney

David is one of the smartest people I have met. He listened, and was able to apply his knowledge and experience to make me feel comfortable while going through one of the hardest things anyone can go through. He made me feel as that I was a priority for him. He was diligent in preparing all documents..., and building out all information needed to go into court. When it came time for trial he ran the court room. No one likes going to court, and no one feels comfortable going to trial especially when it comes to your children. David made me feel comfortable and protected. He walked into the court room and was more prepared to handle it than anyone else was, including the other attorney. My divorce is over and I walked away with what was fair and reasonable, and what was in the best interest of my daughter. For the first time since my separation I feel that I can breathe again. David is not the cheapest attorney out there, but that's for a very specific reason... He is amazing. In my opinion I'd rather pay a bit more for an attorney than get stuck with someone who doesn't know what they are doing. David is by far the best attorney in Savannah, I consulted with multiple before ending up in front of David, at which point I retained him. I have referred multiple people to him, and will continue to. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you, protect you, negotiate on your behalf, and be someone you can trust to handle something as delicate as a divorce - stop looking, pick up the phone and retain him. He is incredible and I don't know how I would have made it through any of this without him.

THIS BULLDOG WAS WORTH THE WAIT!

I hired David Schachter to represent me in my divorce action 4 years into my case. I wish I had known to go to him from the start. This divorce case was long and a bit more complicated because I had to work outside of the country. In the 4 years of the case before I hired David my prior attorney acco...mplished nothing. I was afraid that husbands and fathers could never get justice. I was mistaken. You just need the best attorney, and in my opinion that is David. Mr. Schachter knows his stuff. He is an excellent strategist. He is detailed and prepared for every scenario. Watching him in court was impressive to say the least. Everyone, including the Judge, were clear that Mr. Schachter had done a tremendous job. The Court Clerk even asked him for a card for a family member that she wanted to hire him after seeing his courtroom performance. I even remarked to David during a break in the proceedings that he was doing such an excellent job destroying my wife’s case and her attorney that I actually felt bad for my wife-for a minute. My advice: You want Mr. Schachter on your side and you definitely do not want to risk the chance that he could represent your spouse. I am a very satisfied client. Run to hire him and you will not regret it. Oh, and as for husbands and fathers and how they fare in a divorce: Mr. Schachter secured me joint physical custody of my daughter, I have no further financial obligation to my ex, I got to keep most of my retirement, and I got the house that had been temporarily awarded to my ex for the first few years of the divorce before David took over. I even get to keep all of the equity that I paid into the house throughout this case and my ex gets none of it, which I understand is quite unusual. I was more than pleased with the result. They say nobody wins in a divorce. Usually that may be true and I do feel bad that my daughter had to experience this, but I am positive I won this case with Mr. Schachter’s superb representation. I hope I never need to hire a family law attorney again, but if I do need one I know that I will hire David.

Divorce

David and his office did an outstanding job. He offered suggestions of meeting times which fit into my schedule, enabling me to meet with him and not have to take time off from my job, thus minimizing the effects on my civilian job. While preparing the documents, he took suggestions from me and inc...orporated them into the final products. It made me feel as part of a team effort, not just a client.

Custody King

David Schachter is the best at what he does. I had been divorced for over five years, and out of that marriage I had a son. The mother of my son would keep me away from my son at will, and due to being active duty Military I felt that would not be able change my ability to have a relationship with m...y son. I had always been told that its hard to get custody of a child as a father not to include being a father in the Military. David restored my faith in possibilities and he represented me as if he was fighting for his own children. David never promised a outcome, but he promised he would fight on my behalf and he did exactly that. He never allowed emotions from my part dilute the facts; which proved to be the best as he owned the court room as he presented my case. If at anytime I had questions David and his team were right there to answer the questions I needed answered, his team called, texted, and email me keeping me informed making sure I was ready for court. David cared about what was best for my child and not just having another client. I could not have picked anyone better to represent me in my custody case. David didn't have any hidden fees, nor did he give false promises. I would recommend David and his team to anyone, because when you feel like there is no way David will fight for your best interest and the interest of the child. He is truly the Custody King.
