    "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

    "Steve helped me greatly."

    Steve helped me greatly and you can’t beat his prices. Also he is very responsive if you have questions or concerns he got back to me the same day when ever I had questions. I recommend if you need a lawyer go with him great at his job.

    "Excellent Lawyer!"
    I'm so glad I chose Mr.Schanker as my lawyer to fight the DWI case in MO. He informed me all about the case laws/scenarios and gave very practical recommendations to follow. Careful listener who never understated the issue but navigated me through due process ultimately finding a way to plead down to a much lesser charge! Very reasonably priced and experienced....highly recommended. Good Luck!

    "I would highly recommend Steve Schanker to ANYONE."

    When I spoke with Steve he was very professional and he helped me so much get through this horrific situation. He was VERY fast at responding to questions I had and kept me up to date with changes with what was going on, and what was going to happen. I would highly recommend Steve Schanker to ANYONE.

    "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.

    "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.
