From the very beginning, David was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for my child-custody case. David carefully explained every step of the legal process, developed a strong strategy, and advocated effectively on my behalf. Thanks to his team’s dedication and attention to detail, we were able to reach an outcome that significantly improved my parenting time with my son. His attention to detail and legal tactics helped me maximize my time with my son and avoid Child-Support. Throughout the case, I always felt informed, supported, and confident that they had my best interests in mind. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is professional, prepared, and truly fights for their clients, I would highly recommend them. Their expertise and commitment made a tremendous difference in my case, and I am incredibly grateful for everything they did

I highly recommend David and his team. Going through a divorce was one of the most difficult experiences of my life, and they provided guidance, professionalism, and support every step of the way. They were responsive to my questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and always treated me with respect and compassion. I appreciated their knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to helping me navigate a challenging situation. I am grateful for their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal representation.
I have known David Schachter for more than 11 years, and during that time he has represented me in two highly contested cases. The first was my divorce and initial custody case in Chatham County, and the second was a subsequent custody battle for my sons in Effingham County. I can say with complete confidence that David Schachter and his team are exceptional. They are professional, thorough, and genuinely care about their clients. David anticipated potential issues, prepared counterarguments, and took the time—often in the evening—to discuss strategy with me before each hearing. Every exhibit and piece of evidence was meticulously organized and ready for presentation. His dedication and preparation made all the difference. After seeing David’s abilities throughout my divorce, I knew he genuinely cared about his clients and was committed to achieving the best possible outcome. He advocated for me, ensured my voice was heard in court, and ultimately helped secure a final order that was fair and allowed me to maximize my time as a father. A year after the divorce, I received PCS orders from the Army, which forced me into another custody battle. There was never a doubt in my mind about who I wanted representing me. My trust and confidence in David is unmatched. When it came to fighting for my rights and protecting my future as a father, there is no one else I would have chosen. After speaking with other attorneys and hearing people describe their own legal experiences, their outcomes, and their relationships with their lawyers, I realized just how fortunate I was to have David representing me. His intellect, passion, and genuine concern for his clients—and for the results that shape their lives—set him apart. I never doubted how lucky I was to have an attorney of his caliber in my corner. I highly recommend David as a family lawyer for anyone facing a divorce or custody case. He is a top-rated attorney for a reason—dedicated, strategic, and exceptionally skilled in planning and executing a case with precision.
David and his team were absolutely exceptional. He made an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process feel so much easier, and I truly could not have done this without him. He fought hard for me, told my story effectively, and helped me achieve an outcome that will make a real difference for my daughter and me. David is exactly the kind of attorney you want in your corner—professional, relentless, compassionate, and incredibly skilled in the courtroom. If you want someone who will truly fight for you and deliver results, David is the attorney to call.
David represented me through an extremely difficult and high conflict divorce case. The opposing side threw out one baseless allegation after another, and David methodically shut down every single one with facts and preparation. Watching him dismantle argument after argument almost made me feel bad for opposing counsel. Almost. He never lost focus on what actually mattered, and because of that the case settled on terms that were extremely favorable to me. What stood out most was how calm and strategic he stayed even when things got contentious. He didn’t get rattled by the noise, he just kept building the case. If you’re looking for an attorney who can handle a genuinely difficult case with skill and composure, I’d recommend David without hesitation.
