I live out of state and at short notice I had to find legal help concerning a divorce/child custody case. After searching and calling many different lawyers in the Savannah area, Mr. Schachter was the only lawyer I talked to who actually seemed concerned about my situation and also very knowledgleabl...e in this field. I decided that day to hire Mr. Schachter. Mr. Schachter was able to build a strong offense in my case, and because of that I avoided a nasty custody battle and everything was handled without me even having to step foot into a court room or into Georgia for that matter. I was able to handle my divorce out of state and also get physical custody of my child. We all know that it isn't an easy task for a male these days to get custody of a child, but because of Mr. Schachters dedication to my case and knowledge in his field, my ex-wife and I were able to come to an agreement on awarding me physical custody of our child. During the process Mr. Schachter always kept me informed about my case, and if I ever had an issue I could call him and he would give me the best advice possible. If for any reason I wasnt able to reach Mr. Schachter, he would always call me back in a timely manner. I can honestly say that Mr. Schachter cares about me as client and providing the best possible outcome for me and my child. I would recommend Mr. Schachter to anyone who is seeking legal assistance about a any divorce or child custody matter.

David is an excellent divorce attorney. He saved me a lot of money in a very complex divorce. Had I not listened to David's sound advice and followed his instructions I would have settled for a result that would have left me with virtually few resources. You know that your attorney is good when yo...ur ex-father-in-law comes over to your attorney and tells him that he did "a heck of a job representing my son-in-law." that is exactly what my ex-father-in-law did. I recommend David Schachter to anyone in need of a divorce.

After a tenuous and challenging five years with my alcoholic, sex-addicted, cheating, lying ex-spouse, the time had come to file for divorce. My ex was hiding assets and his income while manipulating my kids and my living expenses. I turned to David Schachter after reviewing his profile on AVVO. I ...was desperate, emotional, and I honestly had no idea what to do. David was able to reassure me and knew exactly what he was doing. From the moment that I met David, he calmed me down, told me exactly what to expect (both the good and the bad), and explained that while I might not go to trial if the other side was reasonable (since they kept insisting that they would propose a reasonable agreement), we had to prepare for the worst -a final showdown in court - from the start even while making a good-faith effort to settle for the sake of our innocent children because you can never underestimate your opponent. I had no choice but to trust David’s judgment, and I am glad I did! He told me exactly what to do, and how to prepare. David also kept me on track whenever I strayed from his advice and counsel. David never hesitated, he was able to balance a blend of careful offense with a steadfast defense. I cannot express enough what it is like to have someone who really has your back while your soon-to-be ex-husband is trying to stick a knife in your back. The amount of relief is immeasurable, and this was true from the moment I first met with David. The best thing about David is that he knew exactly what he would have done to me had he been my ex-husband's attorney. David understands the local courts, judges and their reasoning. He was able to provide a strong offense and defense. This is pivotal when mounting a challenging divorce. He identified errors in my ex-husband’s strategy and tactics, and used them to prevail. I know David has many clients, but I always felt like I was his only one. He also cared enough to introduce me to other professionals who could help me in restarting my life. Not many attorneys will take their time to do that. David was also so efficient with his time that it probably cost me less than I would have spent had I used a different lawyer. I walked away from my divorce without spending a ton of legal fees and with a result that was better than what I ever thought was possible. I've learned valuable life lessons about marriage, how to protect myself and my children, and how to minimize more legal issues and fees in the future. David is one of the most intelligent, responsive, thorough, ethical, and compassionate attorneys that I have come across. He is very well respected by his colleagues and well known in the courtrooms. I highly recommend David if you are in need of a divorce. And boy did I need one.

Mr. Schachter handled my child support modification case and got me an excellent result! I am a single mother. My child’s father is a professional football player in the NFL. Previously, the father was paying hardly any child support. David handled the case the right way from the start. The case... was highly contested, but we ultimately prevailed with an unbelievable result. Mr. Schachter secured $4,000 a month in child support and a large portion of my attorney’s fees from the other party. I have always worked hard as a single, full-time mother to make sure that my child receives all that he needs. I have done this while working a job and attending school. Because of Mr. Schachter’s excellent representation, I can now afford to raise my child the right way. I encourage anyone in need of help with child support, divorce or any family law services to hire Mr. David Schachter.
