About David I.
David I. Schachter built his legal foundation at Touro College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in marketing and management in 2002. He went on to Case Western Reserve University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2007, concentrating his studies on divorce and family law. Those academic years shaped an early interest in courtroom work and family disputes.
He began his bar affiliation in Georgia in 2007 and later added Minnesota in 2010. Those dual-state ties have allowed him to handle matters that cross state lines and to remain current on differing procedural approaches. In 2013 he established The Schachter Law Office, LLC, marking a shift from study to steady practice. The firm lists trial work among its offerings, and Schachter has handled contested hearings and bench trials since then.
Beyond private practice, Schachter holds a certification as a Guardian ad Litem from the Superior Court of Chatham County. That role put him in courtrooms on behalf of children and vulnerable parties, often in emotionally charged custody and welfare matters. He also maintains memberships in the American Bar Association, the Savannah Bar Association, the Minnesota Bar Association and the Georgia Bar Association, reflecting both local involvement and connections to national professional networks.
Colleagues describe his courtroom approach as straightforward. He prepares evidence, examines witnesses and presses legal arguments when a case cannot be resolved by agreement. Trial work occupies a central place in his practice, but many of the matters he handles begin at mediation tables or in negotiation, where early movement can save time and expense for clients.
His office is listed at 427 Montgomery Street. That location serves as a base for consultations, filings and court preparation. Over the years he has handled contested divorces, custody disputes and financial issues that arise in family law practice. The combination of Guardian ad Litem experience and trial work gives him perspectives on both advocacy and the human elements that surface in family courts.
As a lawyer practicing across Georgia and Minnesota, Schachter balances litigation readiness with efforts to settle when a practical resolution is possible. He currently concentrates his practice on divorce and family law matters, serving clients in those jurisdictions.
