Paul Stanko

I have called three or four times because your client is in jail and can't call and what you told her is not what it shows online and as I explained I think it is wrong that it was wrote in his it was to commence when it should have said concluded. I don't understand is it because your court appointe...d they don't deserve a call back? Every one of us has things we need to do our our time is important as well.

Had a horrible experience working with Paul. His communication skills are unacceptable, he is disorganized and failed to explain plea agreement in its entirety to client. Client admitted fault, per Paul's recommendation and got maximum (3yrs) for a DUI. Paul did not respond to our calls or texts unti...l we posed a "new" client. My fiance missed the birth of our child because of the way this legal situation was handled - I believe jail time could have been avoided with different steps taken. How was he a judge?

When I first received notice of my charges I was scared out of my mind. I called around to different attorneys and Paul Stanko was the first one who actually made time out of his busy day to meet with me that same day and give me the peace of mind that it was going to be okay. He did an outstanding j...ob with my case and explained everything to be me as I had a lot of questions throughout the process. He was able to get me the best deal/outcome on my case. I can’t thank him enough and if anyone needs a great attorney he is the man to talk to because he will make sure to get you through it.

I’ve noticed that Paul responds to negative reviews by denying that the reviewer was his client. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did the same to me. Surely, we are all just lying. If you read the negative reviews, you’ll see that a common theme is LACK OF COMMUNICATION. This is absolutely true! I h...ired Paul for a case in December 2017. He kept postponing my court dates despite me asking him that I would like to get the case over with ASAP (I have screenshots of me texting him this with no responses from him btw). Well, after postponing my court dates for OVER A YEAR, I was finally able to START my pretrial diversion program in April 2019. The program lasts a year so my case could have been dismissed by now if he had not postponed my case for over a year. It’s 2020 and I still have a few more months of pretrial diversion for a case from 2017!!! I recently consulted with 3 other lawyers about this and they were all appalled at how long my case took and said that if they had been my lawyer, the goal would have been to get me on pretrial diversion ASAP. I cannot stress enough how poorly he communicates. He does not have a receptionist so you always get sent to voicemail, which for the past two years that I’ve been his client has ALWAYS been full so you can’t even leave a message. I’ve also tried to reach him through email and text. Out of the dozens of texts I’ve sent, he’s rarely replied. He’s also given me erroneous information regarding the pretrial program, which leads me to believe he lacks the knowledge and competence to handle such cases. I wish I would have hired a good lawyer instead, but I unfortunately paid him in full at the very beginning and could not afford to switch to another lawyer. I hope he tries to deny that I’m his client, because I’d gladly take screenshots of the dozens of emails, phone calls, and texts I’ve sent him over the past 2 years so you can see for yourself to just how many he’s replied (I’m pretty sure I can figure out how to upload photos of screenshots along with my review).

I hired Paul as my attorney in 2019 and would like to say he did a magnificent job! Honestly took care of the court side of things while he was dealing with his wife being in the hospital! Very pleased and blessed to have Paul as my attorney and if I every so need another attorney for whatever reason... would gladly hire him. Was also pleased with the agreement he and the courts system came up with. He stayed in contact stayed in touch let my know exact details and progression of sentencing and things I needed to do on my part, he was able to give me a heads up on things to come and to proceed and follow through with! Thank you again Paul !
