Handled my case like a champ.

T.C. Tanski was terrific! The moment he stepped in and took over my harassment case, it was such a relief. He was extremely competent, thorough and in control. He walked us through the process step by step. Also, he and his team did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed on our case status. Tha...nks T.C. for everything!

guilty plea withdrawn

T.C was a very down to earth and trustworthy attorney. I particularly liked how how he was upfront and explained to me if we even had a chance to come away with a victory. he gave me the option to decide if it was worth it or a waste of money. we ultimately went ahead and i couldn't be more sanctif...ied with the result and chance to take my case forward with the hopes of getting even better results. Thanks so much for hard work, dedication and complete attention towards my case!!

An appeals attorney that fights like a lion until the very end!

TC Tanski was extremely diligent and prompt in handling all of my case's complex issues. He was very personable, easy to talk to, and immediately responded to all of my emails and phone calls. He never dropped the ball and was by my side through every grueling step along the way. He put legal terms... into laymen terms and made certain that I fully comprehended the entire process from beginning to end. I very highly recommend TC ! He was very respectful, helpful, pleasant, knowledgeable, and overall worth every penny spent! If you are in a serious legal bind where an appeal is desired, hire him! I have experienced other attorney's over the years and was always disappointed and treated like just another cattle number. TC fought tooth and nail for my rights and for me, but most importantly treated me as if I was a close friend or family member. He consistently reassured me that I was in excellent hands and proved it through and through. I strongly feel that without him, I would not have gotten the happy ending results that led me to my freedom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, TC!!! :)

Professionalism Defined

I would highly recommend Attorney Tanski as representation in appellate matters. I have experienced his legal expertise during sentencing and the appeal process. Although one outcome was more favorable than the other, I am still very satisfied with the performance of Attorney Tanski and the McShane... Firm. Attorney Tanski went above and beyond to keep myself and my family updated with information and comfortable with decisions made from day one until completion of the case. Thank you
