Take a cab it's a lot cheaper

Well if you made a dumb mistake like I did. This is the person your looking for. 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 number so we could txt back and forth if need be. The best of all was his pice and a flat fee.

Ethical, affordable and responsible representation

Steve Schanker is not only a terrific lawyer, he is also a really good guy. I recently had him represent me, and was very pleased with the job he did. I have never had legal problems before, and was very anxious and worried, but Steve took control of the situation right away, and provided me excellen...t representation. I received the best possible outcome due to his great representation, and he explained the entire process to me so there were no surprises. He charges a flat fee, which is also a great thing. When dealing with legal issues, there is enough to worry about without adding on the potential to be 'nickeled and dimed' to death by an unethical attorney. He cares about the welfare of his clients, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Satisfied Customer

I had a case related to an auto accident where I was not at fault and received shoulder, neck, arm and back injuries. I had various medical treatments with little improvement for almost a year before deciding to contact an attorney. My doctor suggested Mr Schanker to me. I contacted him in the sp...ring and by fall I had a generous payout from the insurance company of the person who hit me. I was kept updated on how things were going and what could have been an unpleasant experience ended up being much more pleasant than expected. I would definitely use Mr Schanker should another legal situation arise.

Excellent Legal Service

Atty. Schanker approached my case with a proffesionalism, willingness, and expedient consideration that I thought only celebrities could afford! The level of service he provides is not easily found these days, and that it is affordable is even more rare.

Strictly Professional

Overall wonderful. Communicates well. I give him 2 thumbs up. He has been a big help tremendously. I will definitely refer to him to family and friends. There has never been a time when I needed to call him and ask him questions about my case. He had everything under control and his prices are very r...easonable and he will also work with you.
