Lawyer Steven is the Best

Steven is Grrrreat I normally had a different lawyer that I used but my lawyer just so happened to be booked at a different location. I called Steve just hours before court and even with his very overwhelming schedule he took the time to fit me in and handle my case things went absolutely great in co...urt he completely took care of everything at the end he handed me a little folder with my payment arrangement set up and I was on my way and the case is done with no charge thank you again Steve your the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Results

Steve Schanker has been wonderful to work with... My son found himself faced with potential jail time for a moving violation. I called in a panic & left a crazy message; Steve returned my call within 30 minutes. He was knowledgeable & helpful in explaining the situation and how best to approach it.... Furthermore, Steve has been endlessly patient w/ my multiple inquiries. He painlessly and affordably resolved the situation with a better than I had hoped. Steve could not have been any better to work with & I would not only recommend him, but would use his services again if necessary.

Got the expungement we asked for!

I couldn't ask for a better attorney than Steve Schanker! Steve handled my case from start to finish in a quick and professional manor even though I currently live in California and couldn't make a trip out to Missouri. Steve answered every call and/or text right away, explained the entire process t...o me in my case, and did everything he said he would do for me including getting the the expungement we asked for. Steve moves at a fast pace, is professional, and is very fair priced and I would recommend him to anyone that needs legal advice or help. You will not find a better Attorney who will help you! Thanks again Steve!

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.

  • 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.
