David Schneider

David Schneider earned his undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Texas in Austin, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He began his law practice in San Diego in 1988, concentrating in business and personal injury litigation. At the time he founded Yunker & Schneider, he was a senior associate at Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, with more civil trial experience than any other associate at that firm.

David is unflappable, an excellent negotiator, has near total recall of every detail of his cases, and is focused on spotting key issues and cutting to the chase. If David’s style fits your case, he could be an excellent lawyer for you.
