Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

After researching several local attorneys, I hired David Schacter as my representation in a custody modification case. Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive about all the five star reviews, but after meeting with him, he just seemed like the right attorney for the job. My case encompassed more than a few complexities, and as a father fighting for his children in the state of Georgia, it seemed like a hopeless mission. Mr. Schacter was prepared and ready to fight from day one. He immediately won an ex-parte order and pulled my children out of a bad situation. The case continued for another year and a half and I watched as Mr. Schacter successfully continued to fight for us. Beyond his legal knowledge and court room skills, you could tell that he genuinely cared about our our well being and best interests. Mr Schacter delivered on results, in a way that no other attorney was able to. He’s worth every penny and every five star review.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

I thank God every day that I was awarded custody of my children after an extremely contentious divorce in 2015, but since then my ex-spouse has done everything in her power to make my life hell, even hurting my children to get back at me. No one would hold her accountable for her actions. After my child was placed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, I had enough, and that’s when I called David. He listened and immediately took action when others told me I should be grateful that I had primary custody of my children, especially considering I am a minority, military veteran, and single dad. He took my cases where my previous attorney had left off and it was night and day. David is armed with an unfailing knowledge of law, the ability to craft strategies to win the fight before it even begins, and the wit and cunning needed to perform in the courtroom. He goes over every detail of the case, leaving no stone unturned, and comes to court ready for battle. Don't waist time elsewhere.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

Mr. Schachter is the best family law attorney in these parts and the best attorney you can hire for this in Georgia in my opinion. I've had many prior lawyers over the years, and I can honestly say that Mr. Schachter is the best lawyer I have ever hired. He is highly respected and came highly recommended to me by a court employee who had seen him in action in past court proceedings and was herself super impressed. Mr. Schachter actually practices about 2 hours away from the county where my case was heard, but our Judge was familiar with him and impressed from prior cases David handled in front of him. In the end I am a father who thanks to Mr. Schachter has primary custody of my children- unusual for this part of the Georgia. David is a great strategist and he makes all the difference in a case. He is the warrior you want on your side in the courtroom. He's not intimidated and doesn't back down. He's the most expensive lawyer I’ve ever hired, but he was worth every dollar I paid him.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

Mr. David I. Schachter, Esq. won my case and truly changed my life. I can can think of no better way to thank him than to write about what he did for me and my family so that others know who to turn to for the best possible results. I was facing a situation of paying lifetime alimony and had already paid it for many years with no hope for relief. We had been to court many times over the years and I had all but lost hope that I would ever obtain relief. After decades of this never-ending alimony obligation having such a negative an impact on me that it literally almost destroyed my ability to function David used his brilliant mind, his tremendous legal and courtroom expertise and ability and he utilized his skill and ingenuity to literally turn everything my ex said and had done against her. In doing so, David exposed my ex-wife and her attorney for liars and frauds. Quite simply- he was brilliant. Thank you so much David for everything you have done. Bless you and the work that you do.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

I had a very urgent situation that required an emergency protection order. I looked online and read all the amazing reviews and spoke with some friends here in Savannah that couldn't recommend David enough. I was absolutely adamant I needed David for my situation. I phoned David's office and David immediately made time for me despite his busy schedule and it being his day off/ work from home day. I was worried I would be a nervous wreck but David was so kind and caring and instantly put me at ease. After hearing my situation he immediately began drafting a protective order and spent the following three hours with me getting it ready for court. He got me in front of a judge the very next morning despite courts being at limited operations due to Covid 19. In front of the judge he was so clear and knew all the facts of my case and he of course got my life, house, dogs and possessions back in one morning. I cannot emphasize enough how much David helped me change my life. Thank you

David Schachter 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!

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

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.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

David made the situation seem more comfortable. Divorce is the last situation anyone wants to face. David made the divorce and circumstances surrounding the divorce more understandable. If you want an attorney who will fight for you, he and his team will do everything in their ability to resolve your issues surrounding the divorce. You, as the client, will have to provide the information for him to do his job, and David wants you to be a part of the proceedings. Going to court, and going before the judge was unsettling, but David was in his place to perform. David exceeded and surpassed any prior expectations while in court, the courtroom is his place and he will surpass all expectations you have of him. His team, Andrea and Kendra, are very informative and receptive to your needs. While David is tied up in court with other clients, the two provide information to me and answered all questions or relayed the message to David for me.

Hired Attorney David I. Schachter

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. He’s 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. It’s 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 and his team 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.

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.
