About David M.
David M. Schnipper earned his law degree in 2011 after starting legal studies in 2008. He took a straightforward path into practice, completing his J.D. and moving quickly into the courtroom in Georgia. The dates say much about the pace of his early career: a three-year law program followed by hands-on work within a year of graduation.
He began practicing at Schnipper Law in 2012. Over the years that followed the office evolved into Schnipper Law, P.C., where he continues to handle matters for clients across the state. His entry into private practice coincided with his joining the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2012, a membership he maintains. That professional affiliation signals the company he keeps in the legal community and the types of cases he commonly encounters.
Schnipper’s work takes place within Georgia’s courts. He represents clients in criminal defense matters at state and local levels. His roster includes people facing a range of criminal charges. He prepares cases for trial and also handles pretrial proceedings and negotiations. He presents evidence, questions witnesses and argues legal issues when the situation requires courtroom advocacy.
Colleagues describe him as steady and direct in court. He prefers a plainspoken approach when dealing with judges and juries. That style shows up in how he prepares clients for hearings and how he lays out facts in filings. He stays active in the Georgia defense bar through his association membership and through regular practice in state venues.
Outside of court appearances, Schnipper manages the daily operations of his firm. That includes client intake, case strategy and the practical details that keep a small law office functioning. He has overseen matters from initial arrest through resolution, whether by plea, dismissal or trial. The pattern of work reflects the rhythms of criminal defense practice in Georgia.
He continues to practice at Schnipper Law, P.C., handling criminal defense matters and representing individuals in Georgia courts. He currently focuses on criminal defense matters in Georgia.
