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.

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.

Best Experience with an Attorney Ever!!!!

I was charged with a DUI in Riverside, MO. I contacted Mr. Schanker after finding his reviews online. I had a free consultation with Mr. Schanker in which he began the process of sending in forms for me to start a defense. I had an option to go with a friend of the family that would represent me for ...free, but after meeting with Mr. Schanker I knew that he would do a better job. Mr. Schanker had empathy, sympathy, and compassion for my situation. He was honest, never once did he promise anything and he explained all possible outcomes. In the end, because of Mr. Schanker, I am able to keep my license and move on with my life! To sum up, Mr. Schanker charged me one flat fee for a total defense, returned phone calls, has integrity/honesty, and got me the absolute best outcome possible. Mr. Schanker's services are worth every penny of that FLAT FEE I spent and I cannot thank him enough.

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.

Great Experience and Very Impressive

Steven helped me through my court case from start to finish. He was upfront with what I should expect during my case. He provided excellent advice through this very long process. Steven is an attorney you can trust, treats you fairly, and very honest. I am extremely pleased with his work. He worked e...fficiently to help me get my case resolved. Thanks for making my experience seamless. I highly recommend Steven for anyone who is seeking legal advice.

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.
