  • The best there is on DWI cases.

    Mr. Schanker was referred to my son by a friend as "the best there is on DWI cases" and he proved that to be true beyond a shadow of a doubt. He worked for my son and negotiated a deal that was better than we could have ever hoped for. Mr. Schanker knows his business, he is professional, believes in his client, and works for his client. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Schanker to anyone needing representation on a DWI charge.

  • Amazing guy to work with.

    Steve was the 3rd attorney that I had discussed my options with for my DUI and the second I met with him I knew that he was going to be the one. He thoroughly listened to me and answered every question or request I had. 9 months later I needed Steve’s services again to get my probation ended early so that I could get a dream job. Steve went above and beyond and got it done for me. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone needing a DUI attorney. Amazing guy to work with.

  • Great Lawyer!

    Great Lawyer! Really communicates well with you, and explains everything in great detail. He is the only lawyer that answered at 6:30 PM at night, and spoke to me over the phone for a long time as I explained my story and he explained the process. I would recommend him to anyone who is in this situation.

  • When your back is against the wall legally, call STEVE SCHANKER!!!!
    Steve Schanker ESQ, where do I begin? Having been raised by a prominent Trial Attorney and having several other family members as attorneys, as well as having attended Law School myself, however choosing management as my career instead of the law, I believe I have a great body of knowledge of how to determine a great lawyer. Steve has defended me in two different extremely challenging situations. The first time I met Steve was in an extremely stressful DUI situation. I had spoken with a number of attorneys about my situation and most did not want to take the case on. I had a BAC of .14 and was pulled over driving 102mph on highway 70. Steve told me it was not a wise decision, however he also said he could help me. End result was not losing my license, a few hours of community service, and a Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS) which equates to not being convicted. Incredible result that I probably did not deserve which effectively saved my career! The second time I hired Steve was an even better result. I had just purchased a new car, and stupidly decided to see what it could do. I was taken out of my car after driving near 100mph in a 60mph stretch of road again, stupid ...I know, I was cuffed on the side of the road thinking I had really screwed myself this time around. However, I then called Steve and gave him the laundry list of charges including evading a police officer, road rage, the speeding etc....5 charges in all. What did Steve accomplish in my defense you may ask? He had 3 of the 5 charges dismissed entirely and two reduced to defective muffler status. 0 points, 0 moving violations......INCREDIBLE! If you ever have a legal need in any area that Steve specializes in you would be wise to hire Steve. Simply put he gets results! I wrote earlier my life experience helps me determine greatness in Attorneys, however that word doesn't describe Steve as a lawyer correctly....Simply put..... he is the BEST at what he does. I can't thank you enough Steve! JP
