DUI Lawyer

Steve did a great job and represented me well. He saved me money in fines/tickets and also saved me points that were supposed to be added to my driving record. He was always available to answer my questions and give me step by step of what I needed to do. I had no idea of what I was going to be going... through and he laid it all out for me and planned it in steps. Made it so easy and a lot less stressful. Thanks Steve for your continued help. I'll call you if I have any more bumps along the way.

Best lawyer in town

Steve was very straight forward and set a flat rate for his services. Let me know what was going on and what to expect with the charges being reduced. Even though he was a member of another frat in college...ha ha....If I ever need steve again for anything I will use him and also refer friends to h...im.

Highly recommend Steven Schanker!

I would highly recommend Steven Schanker! He responded immediately to my initial call and was extremely professional throughout the process. He kept us informed and communicated exactly what to expect so there were no surprises. Steven quoted a flat fee that was more than reasonable compared to other... local attorneys. He was honest and did not encourage unwarranted services in order to charge additional fees or expenses. He genuinely cared and successfully negotiated the best possible outcome.

Take a cab it's a lot cheaper

Well if you made a dumb mistake like a good guy would recommend. He was upfront and straightforward and didn't sugarcoat anything. Told me what he could and couldn't do, and what I was looking at in charters and finds. He always keepme in the loop and was very easy to get a hold of. I had his cell nu...mber so we could txt back and forth if need be. The best of all was his pice and a flat fee.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
