Elliot Schnapp is a uniquely gifted litigator practicing in one of the most highly competitive legal communities in the world, New York City.  Prior to beginning his career as a business lawyer in 1977, Mr. Schnapp launched his litigation career by litigating the State Court appeals in Payton v New York, one of the most important constitutional cases of this century. Payton established the principle that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the police from making a warrantless entry into a person's home in order to make an arrest.  As a result of his framing the issues on the appeal to the New York State Court of Appeals, Elliot made possible an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, where the case was argued twice before the Supreme Court by the head of the Criminal Appeals Bureau of the Legal Aid Society. 
 
On the corporate side, Elliot brings the same dedication and incisive intelligence to his business clients' needs that he did in the public sector.  As a partner at Gordon, Gordon & Schnapp for the last eight years, he has never lost sight of the goal: to provide corporate and individual clients with partner-driven, high-quality legal services and counsel.  
 
Elliot prides himself on meeting the needs of the whole client rather than merely addressing a particular ad hoc legal problem.  As respected he is as a highly experienced and formidable litigator, he is equally respected as a counselor, who during the course of his career, has often helped resolve matters without the enormous costs and disruptive impact of unwarranted litigation.
 
Mr. Schnapp has utilized his unique blend of ability, skills and judgment to obtain results for high profile clients in complex and sophisticated commercial, labor/employment, securities fraud and anti-trust matters, successfully handling all aspects of these proceedings from their initiation, to motion practice, discovery and other pretrial proceedings, to jury and non-jury trials, arbitration and administrative proceedings, through appeals.
 
Among many other matters, Mr. Schnapp has:
  Secured jury verdicts and administrative findings in favor of corporate clients such as Hill & Knowlton, Inc. and Holmes Protection Group, Inc. in employment discrimination cases;
  Represented both companies and investors in securities fraud litigations and arbitrations and high profile RICO actions such as those involving Charles Atkins (The Securities Groups litigation)
  Handled multi-million dollar disputes arising from corporate acquisitions;
  Prosecuted and defended lawsuits and arbitration proceedings arising from employment contracts, including injunction proceedings under non-compete and confidentiality provisions;
  Handled media-related arbitrations, commercial real estate disputes, litigation among principals of closely held corporations, and insurance coverage disputes;
  Engaged as special litigation counsel to Chapter XI debtors and as counsel to members of Creditors' Committee in major bankruptcies including the LTV Bankruptcy
  Represented borrowers in asset based financing transactions
 
APPELATE LITIGATION
Mr. Schnapp is known for his ability to effectively conduct appellate practice on behalf of clients.  An extraordinary writer, Elliot has briefed and argued at least 50 appeals for clients in the New York State appellate courts and in the Federal Courts of Appeal for the Second, Fifth and Eleventh Circuits.
 
PERSONAL
Elliot has participated both in the cultural and public life of his community.  He is an accomplished choral singer, who has worked tirelessly to support non-profit choral groups such as the New Calliope Singers and The Riverside Choral Society.  Currently, he has been assisting in the establishment of a non-profit education corporation to launch the first ever recovery high school in New York City.

Strategies to Reduce Child Support Payments
The article outlines the legal framework for child custody and child support in Georgia, emphasizing the best interests of the child while recognizing parents' financial realities. It explains the types of custody—legal and physical—and the factors courts consider when awarding custody. It also describes how child support is calculated using the income shares model, which considers both parents' incomes, adjustments for costs, and parenting time. To reduce child support payments, the article suggests filing a petition for modification, increasing parenting time, documenting financial hardships, negotiating with the other parent, and consulting a family law attorney. It also highlights key legal considerations, such as avoiding arrears and complying with existing court orders. The conclusion emphasizes pursuing modifications responsibly and through legal channels while prioritizing the child's welfare.
