DUI in KCMO

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.

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.

Best attorney

I'm from out of state and he helped me get thru this experience. Explained everything that needed to be done. Assisted in getting fees paid, made sure I understood all of my rights and made the process very smooth

Steve is GREAT!!!

This guy is great! I had 5 charges, one including a DUI amongst others. He made the whole process of dealing with court dates very easy as I was a college student who was not able to attend many of them. I would recommend Steve to ANYONE in the area who has recently received a DUI or similar charge. ...Thanks again Steve!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
