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.

He helped me on multiple occasions for traffic tickets and did a terrific job. He answered any questions i had and contacted me almost immediately when i needed him. I couldnt have chose a better lawyer.

Steve Schanker is excellent!

Steve Schanker was phenomenal! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me through my DWI. He was very professional, friendly, informative, helpful, and quite affordable. From the first time I spoke to him until the conclusion of my case, he was able to answer all of my questions and make th...is unpleasant process much easier to handle. I will say with confidence that he went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for my case. I would highly recommend him to everyone!!

Knowledgeable, Trustworthy and Capable

Mr. Schanker was invaluable in securing the best outcome for my DWI. Unlike some attorneys, he charges a flat rate regardless of the time he spends on your case. During my initial consultation, Steve laid out exactly how things would work from both the State and Department of Revenue angles. He al...so set appropriate expectations regarding final disposition of my case. Some attorneys will talk up their ability to get you this or that, but Steve was spot on in his interpretation of my case and how it would be resolved. He was always very responsive to my phone calls, emails and texts and was also early for court all appearances. I highly recommend Steve should you find yourself in need of a DWI / traffic attorney.

Steve Schanker Review

The four atributes above pretty well covers Mr Schanker. His fees are quite reasonable as well. He represented us in a DWI arrest & we were VERY pleased with the result. Would recommend without a doubt.
