Client Reviews

Mr. David Schnall is most liable lawyer I have ever dealt with. He answered every question I had not matter the time of the day. Made my divorce go smooth as possible and quick. I normally do not write a review, but with his hard work he definitely deserves a five star.

I can’t say enough great things about David, every step of the way through a lengthy court battle, he explained every step and judgement. Not only did I win what I was seeking , David got me the win plus more! He was super friendly, never made me feel he only was out for himself. He worked with me on everything from pros and cons of my decisions to financials. Thanks to David, my son will now enjoy a more stable beautiful life! I couldn’t recommend him more highly than I do now! I couldn’t be happier with the way he fought for me and my son!

I met David online while looking for a lawyer to represent me in Newyork for a child custody battle between me and my Ex.I was able to reach him over the weekend we discussed the matter I immediately knew I liked him because he listened and he immediately understood my case and assured me how and what we need to do.He also took time to reachout to my lawyer in Texas free of charge.his fees were very affordable we discussed again before the court date,covered all areas we could be exposed to unforseen forces.Boom!!! We won the the case.i do really appreciate his service, cost and professionalism.He’s the best am living witness.

I know lawyers have a bad rap in general but David is the exception rather than the rule. I’ve hired David a couple of times over the years and he has never disappointed. He fights for his clients with a passion unmatched by no other attorney that I have ever dealt with. He goes into the court room (physically and virtually) and fights for his clients like if he was representing his own family’s interest. Triple A+ lawyer. I highly recommend.

If I could give Attorney David Schnall 10 stars on this review I would. He’s cut throat like a vulture. He cares, he goes above and beyond. He is professional and responsive. He is knowledgable and knows his stuff when it comes to the law. He will not let people of lawlessness step all over your rights. He’s very affordable, in comparison to other attorneys who wouldn’t even do half of what he does. He is blunt, and straightforward and will tell you like it is. If you don’t understand his approach, then you will misunderstand him as someone that other negative reviews have said for him to be. He doesn’t beat around the bush. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO CODDLE YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, THEN HE IS NOT THE ATTORNEY FOR YOU. You won’t have any regrets with him. It’s unfortunate I was unable to keep him as an attorney (not by his or my choice either). The Judge pretty much tied my hands (not literally) and had me obtain an alternate attorney that could accommodate her “preference.” May he be highly favored and protected wherever he goes.

Mr. Schnall is dangerously professional and has a mind like a steel trap. Very good at turning the heat up when necessary to turn the tables. Well worth the investment for sure!

He saved a single mom from wasting thousands of dollars. He was the only attorney I called that listened then gave me honest & transparent advice about what I should do. If I need to circle back again, I will be hiring him. Nonetheless, I will definitely be referring everyone I know to him.

David is by far the best lawyer I have ever encountered! He has won every single motion my ex husband has tried to throw at me! Every single one! He is beyond fairly priced and his confidence is what wins ! I highly highly recommend him!

Absolutely so happy with his services. Communication was great from the start. David Schnall had my back! I highly recommend Attorney Schnall.

From the day I contacted Mr. Schnall my life changed for the better. Not only did he reassure me that everything was going to be alright, but he also stuck with me throughout the process which lasted quite a while the result was so worth it I cannot lie without the almighty above and Mr. Schall here on earth I honestly don’t think I would have seen my child again but Thank you Mr. Schnall.

David is an amazing attorney. He works with you, so he is affordable. He also responds within 24 hours and keeps you updated on your case. I have referred him to all my friends and family. Very grateful for the help I always receive from him. He worked for me 20 years ago on a custody and child support case and worked for me this year again and I am truly satisfy. I will forever be grateful to you David Schnall.

Mr. David Schnall has done an excellent job for me. He always encouraged me to be upfront and honest with my information, which I did. He also had an exemplary plan of execution In order to get us the best results. He went above and beyond as an attorney to get to know me as a person and not just another one of his clients. To say he relieved the burden of stress that I was going through would be an extreme understatement. I can honestly say not only have I gained an excellent attorney but I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful person thereby more importantly, I gained a friend. If you are going through a divorce and excellent representation is of paramount importance to you, David is indeed the best lawyer for the job in my humble opinion

David Schnall is an amazing person and a great lawyer. He has a heart but also great legal skills. He was extremely informative and straight forward with what I could expect with my case. He was accommodating to my circumstances and looked out for my best interest. Therefore, we were successful in winning our case.

I ran across David Schnall while googling Pro Bono Lawyers when I say I hit the Jackpot I did when I called this lawyer he is not to be played with his knowledge the way he represented my Brother in a custody case For his children they had no chance we got what we wanted and more when he would talk the other side had nothing to say he just took over and we were just smiling no one said nothing if you ever wanna sure bet I’m telling you that you will not be disappointed Highly Recommend

David Schnall is hands down one of the most trustworthy and genuine individuals you will ever meet. Rest assured that you are in good hands and that he is going to do everything in his power to take the best care of your case, along with expediting the process as quickly as possible. I always knew that he has my best interests at heart. It’s rare that an attorney possesses such great attributes in the sense that he is easy to talk to and when he says he is going to get something done, he does it. David’s compassion for his clients surpasses anything I have experienced. He was kind, caring, efficiently, be so invariably responsive, and handle every situation so adeptly and always kept me informed and gave me the advice that I needed to fit my situation. Most family law issues do not keep regular business hours. David was always responsive anytime I needed to talk to him whenever any issues arose. His advice and guidance, I believe, helped shape my case into a much quicker and stronger one. He took a personal interest in what was going on, and stayed that involved. I will be honored to recommend David to family and friends.

I had David fighting my custody battle and now my child support case. He was like an attack dog when calling out the B.S. and laying down the cold hard facts as they were. He didn’t allow the court or the other party to trample my rights as the mother of these children for baseless accusations. I genuinely believe he will go all out for you as he has done for me. He was confident and supportive from the very beginning. He presented a respectful, kind, and caring demeanor. He was on time, he kept me informed, and we won the war!

David was attentive to my case and handled it with care, definitely recommend.

David made the impossible, possible for my custody situation. Not only did he successfully accomplish all that I had wanted, but he exceeded all expectations. He was professional, compassionate and was able to get the job done in a timely matter. Will definitely recommend and use for future and all legal matters. Thank you for everything! You were amazing.

My Name is Darrin I’m A retired NYCPD Lieutenant I been involved in Family Court for closed to 6 years involving Child Custody of my Daughter Now 6 years Old ..I was extremely Disappointed and frustrated with How the System in particularly The Referee( Judge ) and more importantly the Lawyers I had hirer prior to Attorney David Schnall My Disappointment was how obviously bias the Referee( Judge) seem to be I had heard that Fathers do poorly in these family Courts but I thought surely that’s exaggerated abd to my chagrin I discovered that indeed their is Conscious or perhaps an Unconscious bias in that it seemed what I had to say and offer was irrelevant to The Judge I became frustrated as every Attorney I hired stated things at initial hiring interview encouraging Me that they would fight vigorously so that I would retain them and then perform in totally opposite at hearing and upon confronting them after their performance at hearing They ALL would stating that family Court is really A kangaroo court, that I’m not able as A father to really be heard by A court Dominated By Female working Mothers ( as Judges/Referees) I have hired 3 Attorneys and paid consulting fees to Two other Attorney Prior to Meeting and hiring David Schnall The Prior 3 Attorneys that I hired ALL TOOK my MONEY and didn’t even Bother to present my case, My position on Why I should have Custody in fact One of the Attorney whom made me all types of promises of his due diligence failed to even present one article of evidence to sway the judge to grant me custody ..NOT EVEN basic Photographs of me and My Daughter …So when I again sort an Attorney to represent me in A hearing I didn’t have high or even moderate expectation. I assume MR, David Schall would be the same as all those other Lawyers tell you everything you want to hear at the initial meeting in order for you to sign a retainer ..and then you wouldn’t hear from them until right before your hearing date where they wouldn’t truly know in-depth your case or your positions on issues . David Schnall was phenomenal at that first meeting. He looked sharp and more importantly he was confident and STRAIGHT FORWARD, He also interacted with me in A manner that seem really personal Like he saw me He heard me Like I said I’m a retire NYC Police officer having served 20 years On patrol I’m use to hearing BS. I can detect dishonesty ..MR David Schnall registered as truthful However I still had my doubts as I had been BURNED SERVERLY and those of you whom are UNFORTUANELY in family court understand what I’m talking about …MR David Schnall has performed in court on MY BEHAVE and that of my Child far BEYOND my expectation and what I had thought possible at my LAST HEARING MR David Schnall Performed Brilliantly He seized control of the process( The hearing) and obtain and WON EVERY POINT AND CONDITION I DESIRE while simultaneously having ALL the petitioner’s motions and modification dismissed I have been in family court over 5 years and this was THE FIRST TIME I truly was heard through representation and UPON being HEARD through MR David Schnall VOICE. The Referee for the FIRST TIME RULED COMPLETELY IN MY FAVOR!!!!!! I have NEVER written A review of Anybody or anything in All the 60 years of my Life!!! but those of you out there whom hope and Disappointment is A REALITY that you are NOT BEING HEARD in family court and that Lawyers have taken your Money and giving you NOTHING to the point where you feel ROBBED don’t give up HOPE give David Schnall A call HE IS THE TRUTH…HE WILL STRONGLY INTELLIGENTLY EXPERTLY represent you and CHAMPION your cause So that YOU can be THE PARENT YOU DESIRE TO BE TO YOUR CHILD or CHILDERN Thank You David Schnall for being WHAT A LAWYER and AN ADVOCATE should be for His or Her Client

After a three year battle with my ex-wife, David was unrelenting in trying to score a victory for me and my case. Needless to say he stuck with me and the business at hand and was able to get me a favorable outcome, great job David.

HE DID NOT OVERCHARGE ME HE BROKE DOWN EVERY ASPECT OF THE CASE AND WHAT AND WHICH WAY IS THE LEGAL WAY….. AND THE REPERCUSSION’S OF WHAT PATHWAY THE 3 DIFFERENT CASES ARE LINKED TO EACH OTHER AND THERE WERE TIMES I WANTED TO JUST SCREAM BUT MY ATTORNEY SAID SUZETTE YOU ARE STRONG JUST STAY FOCUS YOUR HEALTH COMES FIRST.

David Schnall is a man of integrity.He has help me gain my rights as a father in custody battle. He is very honest,upright, and most of all down to earth attorney.Not only does he speaks for you He represents the cases properly by looking and evaluating what’s best for the client. I would graciously recommend Attorney Schnall to any one who is looking for a victory in the end.

I will be forever grateful to Mr. Schnall. During the time he represent me, he was a lawyer and a friend. He always answered or return my call the same day. I hope I never need a lawyer again, if I ever need one David Schnall is my guy.

In going through a divorce proceeding I had fallen behind supporting my son in college from my first marriage. The issues were complicated and involved different states. Davids professional competence and personal manner led me through the family court system to the best possible solution that I could have hoped for. He is very easy to work with and clear on the law, procedures, and protocols you will face. He was aggressive and professional in representing my interests. I was served well as you will be.

David gave us honest straight forward advise. He works quickly to give you results and explains how things really work. He will fight for what is right and will argue your case with passion. He did more for our case in 6 months than past layer did in 4 yrs on a highly complicated parental kidnapping case.

I’m glad I had David as a lawyer, really made me feel like he was in my corner. David really listened and prepared our case with the utmost professionalism. I recommend him.

I’m so glad I was able to reconnect with David Schnall after many years. He has done miracles for me and my family. Every court appearance resulted in a win. He handled my Child Custody, Family Offense Restraining Order, & Child Support. In addition he was able to handle all the ACS related issues that my ex was trying to throw my way. In the end I was granted Sole Custody and Permanent 2 year max restraining order from my ex. Very intelligent lawyer. He didn’t skip at any objections thrown his way. Always made sure to be prepared prior to every appearance and familiarize himself with the case on hand. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

David was very attentive to my case something you want in a lawyer, I told my friends and family about him and would recommend his services, also his prices are very fair!

Mr. Schnall was hired and helped guide me as a pro se participant in a divorce case. He was efficient, honest, and helped guide me In the process. He reviewed my settlement and provided great advice.

I was unemployed , needed help with my child support obligation, he helped me get back on track quick. Very reasonable with everything. Went above my expectations. Highly recommend to anyone who needs help in this area. Check with him first before you go anywhere else. It’s worth the call or email.

I searched at least 6 months for a Lawyer that I would be comfortable with. He exceeded my expectations. This lawyer was all about getting the job done while keeping his client relaxed. His assistant (who has a JD) also exceeded my expectations.

really good guy kept me positive and was straight with me when it came to my case

I recommend his services to anyone who needs them. He got what I wanted at the court without a problem.

David is very honest and straight to the point. He doesnt mislead and give false hope. Financial hardship came due to a work injury and Mr. Schnall worked with me and my family. A blessing in disguise and very understanding, humble attorney for family court.

David solved a case for me that was dragging for 3 years. He is on point with everything, knows his stuff and get straight to the point, I recommend highly this mature lawyer. I’ve hired 5 lawyers before him. He is by far the best. He will listen to you , respect you and put a plan in place . Leave your worries to him. He is what he says he is.

David has worked on our child support cases and currently working on our child custody cases. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, and personally cares for his clients. He’s worked miracles and we are very thankful for his outstanding service.

OMG, from the moment we met David, we knew that he was the ONE to help us with our case! He was extremely calm during the consultation! We just LOVEDDDDD how he listened to us, without rushing or making us feel like we were running out of time. David handled us with care. He always returned our phone calls in a timely manner! He just made us feel VERYYYYYY comfortable! We just Love him and all he does to make his client’s lives easy breezy!!! We strongly recommend David for all legal issues!

If you are looking for a good lawyer they are easy to find anywhere.
If you are looking for a truly great lawyer David Schnall is the person you are looking for. He will not give up on you and he will fight to the end to help you. He is considerate to you and will always go the extra 100 mile if need be.He has won full custody for me and also the best child and spousal support.
As I said a great lawyer this is one person to have on your side when you would like to win. The other side does not stand a chance against him.

David handled my case like a pro. He was always honest with me, although sometimes I did not want to hear it . He listened to me and did what was right for me. He got the job done: My case was dropped. Thank you so much David . I wish you the best !!!

David Schnall is sensitive and kind while maintaining true professionalism and an inner knowledge of the effort one must put forth to endure a custody case. He gave extra time,extra clarity, validation when needed, and certainly patience. He knows the system, recognizes it’s advantages/disadvantages and works well within it’s limits. I hired him TWICE! It isn’t just that we won,,, It’s that David realistically reassured me which gave me the confidence I needed to continue in a nerve-wracking, heartbreaking case, seeing it to fruition. His support was beyong compare!
Hire him!

David not only got me exactly what I wanted in terms of my court case but he is also sympathetic, kind and answered all of my questions immediately through a call or an email no matter what time or day it was. Could not ask for a better lawyer and I highly recommend him.

David Schnall is hands down one of the most trustworthy and genuine individuals you will ever meet. Rest assured that you are in good hands and that he is going to do everything in his power to take the best care of your case, along with expediting the process as quickly as possible.

I will be honored to recommend David to family and friends.

David was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. We were dealing with overwhelming emotions and stress concerning elder abuse and fighting against a guardianship petition submitted by family members who attempted to wrongfully strip away the rights of a fully capacitated elderly parent by falsely accusing her of being incompetent. David not only walked us through the process but also provided strong fierce defense in the courtroom. In addition, he answered our questions, no matter how trivial. Now that the case is successfully over we can move forward and focus on healing. Words cannot express his outstanding and professional handling of every aspect of the case. We never knew David prior to this and only happened upon his services through an Internet search. We took a chance as we walked through the unknown legalities of a wrongful guardianship hearing and David did not disappoint. His offices were professional and located close to the Family Court and Queens Supreme Court for meetings prior to hearings. We would not hesitate to retain his services again or recommend him. We won!

Where do I begin: amazing attorney, best money I ever spent, Very personal and get things done. I’ve been in custody court for many years. I’ve been taken advantage of in court, I’ve been abused in court and all that ended when he became my attorney . At the first hearing he made impossible possible . Highly recommend…

David Schnall was highly amazing!!! He was very professional, very confident also he was helpful. Mr Schnall showed interest & concerns in my case he was very straight forward with me which is very good and because of him my case was successful & I got everything I wanted also I love the fact that he didn’t over charge me like most attorneys not only was he reasonable with his price Mr schnall was about his work & winning my case which is excellent & I would highly recommend him to anyone. I’m very happy that he represented me.

THIS ATTORNEY WAS THE BEST LAWYER I EVER PURCHASED, This attorney was very professional, very passionate & concerned about my case. Mr Schnall made it his business to even take personal time out of his family’s life to help save my son by finding crucial evidence at hand & bringing it to light in the court room.
I MUST SAY YOU WILL LOVE THIS MAN AS YOUR ATTORNEY. HE CAN FEEL WHAT YOUR DEALING WITH, MR SCHNALL CAN ALSO RELATE, THAT PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES OR MADE MISTAKES IN LIFE. MR SCHNALL DOESN’T JUDGE YOU BASED ON YOUR HISTORY OF PAST TENSE MATTERS, NOW THATS NOT ONLY A GOOD ATTORNEY, THATS A GREAT PERSON TO KNOW LET ALONE REPRESENT YOU!!

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY WORTH YOU TIME & DOLLAR, LOOK NO MORE!!! THIS MAN WILL TRULEY GO ALL OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU WIN, THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN LOSE WITH THIS ATTORNEY & IF YOU DO LOSE ANY CASE WITH THIS MAN, YOU DIDNT HAVE A CASE TO BEGIN WITH!!!

if there is a person that cares and provides comfort when needed David Schnall is his name, he makes things happen and gets it done. I’m very happy to have met such astonishing individual. we defenately need more individuals like him to guide us and helps us.

A legal issue came up with our son which my wife and I were very worried about. David didn’t promise us anything but he was confident he could put this issue to bed. We told him what we wanted and he didn’t back down. In the end we got exactly what we wanted. David genuinely cares. He stayed in touch and called to prep us before court. I will add that the same issue came up with our daughter but we lost on that because we had another attorney at the time.

David Schnall took the time to answer all my questions and explained the various processes for my 4 different cases as well as my divorce. Every time I reached out for guidance, legal expertise or corcerns he’d reply promptly. He made a very difficult time a bit less stressful. All my cases worked out better than I expected. I only have one still pending due to circumstances beyond his or my own control.

Succinct, effective, personable and professional. The best. As a father himself, he knew how important my case was to me. He was dilligent and had great follow-up. Best lawyer I could have had by my side. Recommend him to everyone and anyone.

I had the pleasure of dealing with David and let me tell you guys he is very straight to the point. He will tell you what he can do and even work a miracle. He communicated with me through his cell and text and gave me hope. David was there for me to the very end and looked out for the best interest of my daughter, I will never forget him and highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

I searched at least 6 months for a Lawyer that I would be comfortable with. He exceeded my expectations. This lawyer was all about getting the job done while keeping his client relaxed. His assistant (who has a JD) also exceeded my expectations.

really good guy kept me positive and was straight with me when it came to my case

I retained David Schnall for my child csupport cases, and I am more than thrilled with my choice in lawyers. He is extremely knowledgeable in the Family Court system, and was thoroughly in representing me in court. He was always accessible and willing to listen to my concerns. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of all my cases.
