I called David Schachter's office after reading phenomenal reviews about his service, I was skeptical but I was in a dire situation over losing custody of my child so I hoped the reviews were accurate. They couldn't have been more true! A little background; without my knowledge, my ex had an emergenc...y court hearing, misled the judge to believe very false accusations against me to obtain temporary full custody. By the time I was served papers and told I know longer could have my child, I had 10 days to find a lawyer to defend me at a temporary hearing and help get my child back. To find a lawyer to take on your case in 10 days is an almost impossible feat, David had a full schedule and suggested several lawyers for me to contact. He called me every evening for 3 days to talk about my case and check to see if I found a lawyer. He ended up taking my case and he worked late and on the weekend to prepare for it. He was thorough, he answered all my questions, he prepared me for everything, and most of all he restored a sense of security in me that had been taken away. At my hearing he was incredible, he proved that my ex was lying and had unjustly abused the legal system to gain custody. I was awarded full custody for a month straight and then return to joint until a later trial. Before we could even go to mediation, my ex fired his lawyer, agreed to give me full custody and tripled my child support. I can honestly say that none of this would have happened without the dedication, hard work, and compassion of David Schachter. This man will fight for you; he sincerely puts his heart into his work and the results are evident.

I hired David to help me with a tricky situation. I do not live in Georgia and my ex was doing everything in his power to avoid following the law. David took my case and WON! I never had to worry about anything and his team was amazing! Lisa is a godsend really. She was ALWAYS available to answer my ...questions and she made sure that all of the emails and documents were in David's hands ASAP. David will fight for you. He is honest and forthcoming, not qualities you find in other lawyers. He had surgery and STILL worked on my case! I can't say enough about him, he really has earned these awesome reviews. If you want a lawyer that is going to work FOR you, hire David.

I live in Statesboro an hour from Savannah. Before choosing an attorney for my civil custody issues I did a thorough search starting in my local area. Unfortunately, I came up with little confidence in those available in my area. My case was a unique case that would be very difficult for everyone inv...olved and required great strength and knowledge. My ex-partner had a long history of terroristic & abusive behavior and actually felt most comfortable in court where he spent most of his adult life with two ex-wives and his estranged children. With a history of financial fraud he also spent years in federal prison. Those who have experienced this type individual know that getting out alive is usually as good as anyone could hope for. I have been scared for 5 years and now terrified....Mr. Schachter is one of the few that were not bowled over or ruffled by him and he actually had quite a bit of professional experience with this type of person. I am thankful to find him as he has helped and will continue to help me get my life back and protect my family. He is smart on so many levels, as this case requires it on every level. Not just legal know-how, Mr Schachter understands people, is street smart, extremely knowledgeable, and very genuine. He comes at his work from a very honorable place. My case is not over, by any means, as this is how some people prefer to live their lives. I know David will think many steps ahead for me and my family to help keep us protected as much as the court of law can provide. So far my outcome is as good as any parent could hope for in this high-conflict situation. He has been a saint against darkness for me, and worked long hours and weekends. He always got back to me quickly and updated me on the status and helped me understand what was necessary and what was a priority. Court can be overwhelming but I felt confident he knew exactly what to do. When there were options he fully defined each option and their positive and negative aspects. Mr Schachter is a trustworthy, strong, and dependable human being, and that is why he is so good at what he does as an attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about protecting their loved ones.

David defended me in an Annulment case filed by my ex who was attempting to get around his alimony obligation several years after we divorced. The case dealt with very uncommon issues, but when we got to court I was confident that we would win because of David's diligence and thoroughness. The other... side must have been nervous because they asked to Pre-try the case with the Judge. David and my ex's attorney met with the Judge in his office and laid out their cases. The Judge essentially told the other attorney that she didn't have a prayer. David thinks outside the box where other attorneys treat matters in a rote manner and that made all of the difference in my case. I would hire him again and highly recommend that others do if they are in need of a Family Law Attorney.
