There is no other way to put this: Mr. David Schachter is simply the best divorce attorney around. Two years into my divorce case it became obvious that I needed a new attorney. By the end of the case, my divorce actually lasted almost 5 years because of my ridiculous, narcissistic husband, his ant...ics, and my husband’s second attorney who took ludicrous positions and did not follow the law. Mr. Schachter took care of their games, he took them to task in court, and he got me a spectacular result that exceeded my expectations. David focuses on strategy quite a bit. I know understand why patience is so necessary in this process. Like others, I wanted everything to be over right away. If that had happened in my case, I would now be a pauper. I admit that my husband wore me down to the point where I had a complete breakdown towards the end of the case. I also lost patience too many times during the process. David picked me up when I needed it most, and he set me straight whenever I began to fall apart. People need to understand that courts can take a long time. David frequently tried to explain to me that it took a long time for my husband and I to create this mess, and that I had to understand that it can take awhile to fix problems that took so long to create. Quick results are rarely good results. If you are going through a contested divorce and you lack patience or an attorney that you believe in and can reassure you when you lose hope, you might as well throw in the towel. At one point my husband wore me down so much and convinced me that we had nothing left. I believed him and almost agreed to walk away with nothing. I literally lost my bearings and needed medical intervention. I was at my lowest point. I did not trust anyone a that point, not even my loved ones and I even questioned whether David was on my side. My husband had somehow played mind games with me and manipulated me into thinking that he was my only friend. He tried to take advantage of me when I was at my lowest point, and he was the one that got me so low. Most attorneys would have abandoned me at that point. Mr. Schachter did not. David is patient when necessary, and he was reassuring when I needed it most. David was supposed to be out of town with his family when I completely fell apart. Instead of leaving town when he was supposed to, Mr. Schachter made a house call with others that truly cared about me. He got me the help I needed to continue, picked me up when I was down, and gave me the strength to continue when I needed it most. By the time we finally got to court after 5 years, this process had cost me a fortune and I did not know whether I would walk away with anything. As soon as Mr. Schachter got started in Court when the trial began all of my concerns washed away. David had worked hard and he knows what he is doing. He was spectacular in court. It was impressive to watch him utilize his skills. My best friend who came to the trial for support and is herself divorced told David that she wished she had him when she was going through her own divorce. She watched the whole thing and she said he was amazing. Mr. Schachter exposed my husband for the moron he is, and he outdid my husband’s attorney in every way. The result: I walked away with more than I ever hoped to get or believed possible. I was awarded alimony for many years (though my husband tried to show that he had nothing), a big monetary interest in my husband’s business (even though my husband claimed it was worth nothing while fudging the books, which David fully exposed), and I received so much more. I got a fair and just result though I knew that that rarely occurs. I went from being convinced that I would be living in a cardboard box on the street to someone who is now confident with a secure future. I was impressed by David’s attention to detail. He is not cheap, BUT HE IS WORTH IT. Hire him and you won’t regret it. Schachter for everything!!!!

When I visited David for a consultation, I noticed that sitting in his office he had a copy of "The Art of War" on his desk. He told me that the book was symbolic to him due to the intensity of the "battles" fought in the courtrooms. When I asked him what makes him think he could win the case for me,... he responded "my fear of losing". Being a father fighting for custody is already an uphill battle. With everything that went on with my case, I doubt I would have won with anyone but David and his willingness to put up a fight even if odds are against you.

I was getting married and moving out of state. My previous lawyer from my original divorce had poorly advised me as to the course of action I should take. Luckily, I found David before too much damage had been done. He was aggressive, thorough and very knowledgable regarding the law. His office is ...a small operation, very personal and I was always able to speak to either Lisa or David immediately. David would even take after hour calls if there was an emergency. I was able to move with my children and start a beautiful new life thanks to David.

I came to David late in the divorce process. In the first hour of our initial meeting, he devised a strategy for handling my specific case, compiled a complete history of what documents had been filed already, tallied up marital assets with a division plan, created counter filing documents to prote...ct me and shifted the atmosphere from defensive to proactive. In that short amount of time I went from a feeling of uncertainty and dread to one of relief and optimism. Throughout the entire process he did an amazing job of representing my interest. David knows the law and how to apply it. His extensive experience and knowledge of the law was able to get me to a resolution that was beneficial to me and fair to the other party involved. A very personable lawyer, he is a pleasure to work with. I greatly recommend him to anyone undergoing a divorce

When i Came to David i had a complicated case and had been put in an even more complicated situation by my completely incompetant former lawyer Angela Tinsman. David guided me through exactly what needed to be done so that He could take over my case. Once he was officially able to represent me he pr...oved to me that every good review i had read about him was absolutely true! He was aggressive and on top of the game every step of the way. He and his team were in constant contact with me and always notified me of any new information or proceedings. I was always able to reach him when necessary, never having to wait for a return call. David fought for me with the highest regards to my rights as a father and ultimately gave me what i had been fighting for, more time and more rights to my child! I would recommend David to anyone that is done fighting and ready to put an and to an exhausting battle. He is the best! Thank you David for all that you have done for me and my family.
