David did more than I honestly thought possible. He was an absolute bulldog in the court room and nothing slipped by. It stays on offense! I now have the pleasure of joint physical custody when I don't think any other attorney could have achieved that for a father. Most attorneys will push to settle but David determines the outcome you hope to achieve and fights for more! Excellent attorney if you're tired of being stepped on!

Andrew Magnet

David Schachter represented me in a contentious divorce that ultimately led to me obtaining full custody of my children - difficult for a father to do in rural Georgia. He has an excellent memory and provides a concierge style approach. It was easy to see that David is well respected by his peers and is considered one of the top attorneys in the region. If you want to succeed in your case, then David Schachter is the attorney for you.

Bob Moses

Mr. Schachter represented me in my divorce and again in subsequent cases coming from the divorce. He outwitted the other attorney and made him nervous to go to court each time. In the divorce Mr. Schachter fixed what my prior attorney had messed up and put my ex on the defensive. In the subsequent cases David was aggressive, flipped the case around, and the other attorney was nervous to go to court with him and backed down. We prevailed. Mr. Schachter is the best divorce and family law attorney around. Hes worth every penny he charges.

I typically dont leave reviews, but since I went with this attorney based solely on the outstanding Google reviews...here I go. Paid for a consultation. Was running an hour late, which stuff happens so that was fine. Thought we came up with a clear plan. Left. Never heard back. Waited about two weeks, called and left message with the front desk. Never heard back. Waited another week, called again. Never heard back. Needless to say we found someone else. Not sure where the raving reviews came from? We didnt even have a complicated case. Oh well.

David Schachter has been a godsend. He cut through the mess of manipulation and instinctively knows how to uncover the mask of deceit. He is a bulldog in the courtroom and truly knows The Art of War.' Unlike others who may simply tear apart everything in their path, David achieves better results, and he adheres to a more honorable and advanced approach. Hes not a savage, but rather, brilliantly skillful. David draws from what seems to be a true passion to protect. He gets to know and really understand the heart of the situation as if he lived it himself.David never gives up, and never gives in to terror and dishonesty. Its hard to put into words. Like the fiercest of Angels drawing from a higher cause. What comes to mind is St. Michael who leads God's armies against Satan's forces and becomes the healer of angels. David is one in a million with a unique set of skills and experience that has helped me for many years stand up to what seems to be evil at the core. Thank you to David and his team, Brett, Andrea, and Kendra for all of your hard work and results that speak for themselves.

David is awesome and brilliant. Being a father left shafted by previous attorneys and living in backwoods Ga that has been predominately for the woman, I was losing hope of being an active father to my kids. After years of being alienated and my relationship with my kids being sabotaged, and after 2 years with my previous attorney I wasnt getting anywhere, so I hired David. David took care of business in the courtroom and I was awarded EVERYTHING we was asking for and more importantly my ex wife was held accountable for her actions. David had a strategy from the very first consult and always kept me informed of what was going on. I couldn't be more satisfied.

David, and his team, were truly amazing. My case was fairly complex, and involved a lot of moving parts. David went above and beyond, and the outcome was even better than I could have hoped for. I would HIGHLY recommend David!!

Brooke Zechman

I hired Mr. Schachter in October of 2018 to regain custody of my 6 year old son. I hired another attorney 5 months beforehand and needless to say that turned out to be a disaster. David quickly fixed my previous attorney's horrendous mistakes and took an abundance of time and consideration on my case. He took the time to collect every detail and every piece of evidence I had, even made great suggestions on things I should obtain for our case. He offers suggestions but in the end will do what YOU want to do. He makes sure you have a say in everything he does, which is phenomenal. My case was not easy, but David and I prevailed in the end and my son is now currently here with me in Savannah to stay. If i would have continued with my previous lawyer I would probably not be able to say the same. If you're on the fence on who to turn to in a rough time, David is your guy. He blows other attorneys out of the water. He follows the book and knows EXACTLY how the laws work. David, quite frankly makes opposing lawyers look like they have no idea what they're doing. Don't give your ex an opportunity to hire him!! This is the man you want on your side! I can't thank David enough for all that he did for me and my family.

Marissa Alvarez

Practiced Lawyer Brett Brinson was very kind and helpful. I had won my vehicle in my divorce, but my previous lawyer left out the VIN in the divorce papers and could not help rectify them when the local DMV asked for it to be added. I called Brett's firm and he came up with several solutions for me, one was even a very affordable route. This issue had been ongoing for five years and this is the most help I've ever gotten on the situation. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs it.

Joseph Miller

David is an excellent lawyer, very professional and takes the time to sit with you to properly prepare you for your case. He is a very busy lawyer, because he is in high demand. David will go over all the options for you as a client and will allow the client to make their own decision and fight for what his clients want, he will always provide professional and legal recommendations.David is great supporting military servicemembers throughout the divorce process and custody battle and he ensures the clients are getting their rights. David works with his clients each month, as he is understanding and when the clients are frustrated, he takes the time to reassure them and provide them information. David was very successful with my divorce and custody battle, getting me - a male military officer- physical custody, which was a huge success in our system.

Tomeco Farrior

Best experience considering the situation. My Ex and her attorney had been building their divorce case for two years. David Schachter destroyed their entire case after I contacted him one day prior to the hearing (not recommended to wait that long). His knowledge and love for his work can be felt at the first call to his receptionist (leaders transfer their energy). I could continue, but you get my point. He flipped the script on my ex in court, destroyed their narrative, and got me, a father, joint physical custody. In a matter of hours he fixed problems orchestrated by the other side for years. Highly recommend David and his team.

Cate Glyn-Jones

As far as The Schachter Law Firm, LLC goes, David I. Schachter and his team are the most fantastic firm ever. I trust them with my life and anyone who uses them should as well. They are a godsend. Thank you David, Brett, Andrea and Kendra. I do not know what I have done without them during my divorce, and especially this horrible event that occurred afterwards. For all those who have reached out during this time and are asking about my status, thank you for your prayers and please keep praying for me and my children. I am in the midst of working vey hard towards my recovery and I hope to be able to see everyone soon.

Tammy Ty

David Schachter He accomplishes what others cannot!David Schachter is bold, brilliant, committed to standing up for whats right, succeeding for his clients, and persistent in his pursuit. He achieved more during our first court appearance than had been accomplished during the previous seven years despite hiring and consulting with several other attorneys. Thank you, David! You are a blessing!

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 my 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.

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 accomplished 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 wifes 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. Schachters 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.

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 incorporated them into the final products. It made me feel as part of a team effort, not just a client.

Megafire Lee

David took my custody case and helped me to get my children back. He is a very knowledgeable lawyer and has years of experiences. He gave me realistic answers and helped to understand how the legal system runs. He took immediate actions after I had explained to him about my situations. I appreciated every minute he spent to review my files and fight for me in court . It was a tough case and I thought I was going to lose, but with David's help I won. I highly recommend David to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Mandie

I had a wonderful experience with this law firm. Mr. Schachter and his staff treated me kindly and professionally. Divorce is difficult and complicated, but Mr. Schachter was clear, patient, efficient, and thorough. He made sure I understood each step during the process. I would definitely recommend him and his team!

Carolina Hensley

David is a top-rate Savannah attorney. He knows the law, he knows all the issues that may arise, and he knows how to win cases. You couldn't be in better hands in that regard. I cannot imagine working with as many people as he does, case after case, and how hard it must be to empathize with each individual client. He's also extremely busy, so you may not always get a quick response to emails and phone calls. However, he absolutely crushed it winning my case. It was a long, hard divorce. My ex was manipulative and abusive, and David not only won me primary custody, but also the right to move to another state where I have family and support. In fact, we won everything on every account. You really won't find anyone better.

Geralyn Miles

My husband and I live in Michigan, and have a son living in Savannah. We reached a point where we felt our grandson's safety was in danger and contacted David. He moved quickly to get us temporary custody of the baby, the outcome we desired. David is experienced and professional. He is always available, and returns phone calls and emails in a timely manner. We have received responses from him in the late hours of the evening when time was of the essence. Lisa in his office is amazing - very helpful and accommodating. I have had reason to contact David a year after our case, and he remains helpful and accessible. I would not hesitate to use his services again or recommend him to others.

david grossman

Wise counsel. David Schachter advised me in my own divorce and issues that have arisen ever since. His guidance has been valuable and dead-on. I highly recommend Mr. Schacheers and The Schachter Law Firm, LLC without hesitation.

Joshua Kishineff

David Schachter doesn't lose! You don't want to be sitting on the other side of David. Make sure he's on your team.

Pat McDaniel

Our son needed an attorney and had no knowledge of where to begin. Thankfully, he found Mr. Schachter. When going through the difficult process of divorce, it is a comfort to know that he has someone with Davids expertise and motivation to represent and guide him. Thank you, Schachter Law Firm!

Mary Katherine Woloszyn

After a brutal, contentious divorce, I was left with barely any visitation of my daughter and what may have been the world's worst parenting plan. My former husband made my life miserable and my daughter suffered extensively in his custody. Other attorneys I'd consulted for a modification declined to help me, saying 'it's too complicated' or 'impossible'. The first time I called David's office, it was 4:55 on a Friday afternoon. I was hoping to catch his staff before they went home for the weekend or leave a voicemail to request a consultation. David answered. Spoke with me at length and told me he would help. It took over 2 years in court and it was an ugly fight but David fought for us every step of the way. Today I was awarded primary custody of our little girl. The impossible, my sweet child's happy and secure future with me, is now my reality. David didn't just win our case, he saved our family.

This is a review for Mr. Schachter and his law firm, The Schachter Law Firm, LLC. It is to inform other disabled veterans about my experience I have been dealing with from David and his team. During my initial call to the office I gave them my credit card number after they told me they would not charge it if things do not work out. People living on fixed incomes can understand the importance of this concept when making appointments for consultations. Besides their PERFECT ONLINE REVIEWS, this was the reason I agreed to have a consult with David, so that I am not out here wasting time and money on firms that do not have the ability to represent disabled veterans properly. A common theme in today's family court system. After the office made the appointment I told them to inform the team that I am a disabled veteran that understands his rights. I made sure they wrote this information down in my case notes. A week later when I called David for the consult I was able to tell very early on that his firm was not interested in the well being of my child, they didn't even care to ask. They only wanted to know if I was willing to allow a court to garnish my VA benefits, which the Supreme Court has ruled a crime. David's staff became very agitated on the phone when I confronted them with this fact, as he kept saying over and over again that I was wrong. As a potential client, I then requested that they speak with the team of Veteran advocacy lawyers who fought in the Supreme Court over this issue. I have been in contact with these military lawyers for the past year now, and they are more than willing to speak with family court lawyers to help guide them in this sensitive matter. They said no. I realized right then that David's firm had no intention of learning the proper rules and procedures for veteran benefits. The call ended immediately after that. A complete waste of my time, as other disabled veterans would understand. A week later when I found out they charged me the $250 for our short phone conversation, I called David's office to rectify the situation. They hung up on me after I revealed my name. And now that I'm writing reviews about my experiences David is calling me a menace and sending private messages threatening to sue me. I have gone to great lengths to give them every opportunity to handle this with professionalism and understanding, only to be harassed and threatened with lawsuits. If you are a disabled veteran I would recommend you not visit David's website, or call his office.

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 antics, and my husbands 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 husbands 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 husbands 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 Davids attention to detail. He is not cheap, BUT HE IS WORTH IT. Hire him and you wont regret it. Schachter for everything!!!!

Bonnie Gringer

David is rare in his insight and ability to think strategically. He is as wise as he is brilliant. I trust 3 people in this world. He is one of them. He has great integrity and a work ethic rarely seen today. He is an hour from my jurisdiction, however that becomes irrelevant in perspective with his level of professionalism, focus and uncanny ability to think outside of the box. I have worked with David on and off for about 2 years. He doesn't waver and is able to stay up to speed with the most devious types in order to protect his clients and their children. He is also a team player and gets along. This combination is rare. I feel honored and blessed to have found him.

Lindsay Ashman

David is hard working! He is smart, he is compassionate, and he balances a no-nonsense attitude with the patience needed to deal with an emotionally affected, hands-on client like me. I don't have a ton of experience with lawyers, but I do have 9+ years of brief interactions with family law. Meeting David was the first time an attorney didn't patronize me and asked me what I needed/wanted in terms of child custody, visitation, and support rather than deciding those things for me. He advised me as to what was reasonable, what I needed to be prepared to compromise on, and I knew from the get-go I was willing to listen to him because I knew he was listening to me.

Jamie Gant

We hired Brett Brinson at The Schachter Firm and couldn't be more pleased. He did an outstanding job and we would definitely use him again. Thanks Brett!

James L Tracy Jr

David Schachter has performed as an excellent lawyer for my custody case. He is sharp, knowledgeable, and he is highly skilled at anticipating possible responses from both the opposing attorney and the judge. I think one of the reasons he is so good is that he not only practices family law because people need family law attorneys, but also because he has a passion and fascination with family law. David is well worth the investment and I highly recommend considering his services should you require family law representation!

daniel grossman

David is a very friendly and knowledgeable attorney. Highly recommend if you are in need of a divorce lawyer. All the positive reviews are on point.

Judy Rosen

David Schachter was most helpful in my child support case. He was professional, knowledgeable, attentive and accessible during the entire process and made a difficult situation palatable. His office & staff were also wonderful and i would not only use him again, but recommend him to anyone needing expert legal advice for divorce, custody, or any child support matter.

Joseph Rosen

Excellent service and excellent advice! I always go to David for his expertise and his ability to handle my legal matters.

Colby Tigges

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.

Jay S. Lipsey

David Schachter is a brilliant strategist and tactician. I refer anyone in need of an attorney to The Schachter Law Firm.
