An Excellent Attorney.

This was my first time needing to hire an attorney and I had the good fortune to find Steven when I was randomly searching for an attorney online. I had a good feeling about him from our first conversation and immediately hired him. He was very pro active from day one and I was never left wonder...ing what was going on. I never had to set foot inside of a court room. He's an excellent attorney and a man of good character. I was charged a very reasonable flat rate fee to cover the whole process and any questions or concerns I had throughout were promptly addressed. The best possible outcome was achieved for my case. If you are needing legal representation and not sure who to go with, I would highly recommend speaking with Steven to see what he can do for you.

Highly recommend you call Steve Schanker if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a DUI attorney. He is knowledgeable, direct, and reassuring. From the moment of arrest through to the successful resolution of my case, Steve made sure I felt informed and supported every step of the ...way. He is simply the best.

Excellent representation by a respectable lawyer

I have had a need to have this lawyer represent me in three situations that resulted from 1 poor decision I executed. The results were outstanding, and the value was unmatched in todays market.

The Best of The Best

I unfortunately got myself into a bad situation with a DUI and a high speeding ticket during the same stop. I came across Steve’s 5 star profile and read testimonials and knew he was the one. He contacted me almost immediately after I submitted a request to talk further. Steve made the entire pro...cess unbelievably easy and stress free. He answered every question I had and always in a timely manner, and often times I didn’t even have to ask questions because he was so detailed the information he provided. He kept updated throughout the entire process without me having to ask and was always available via email, call or text. He took ALL the stress out of what was originally an EXTREMELY stressful time. He got me a great plea deal, unsupervised probation, and my speeding ticket (which was very high) to a non moving violation. Keeping my record in great shape. He was also very kind and patient.
