Paul Stanko Pro

Mr Stanko took the time to understand my side of the issue. He told me what I could expect and he was able to get me an even better outcome. He was very thorough and made sure I understood the process at each part of the process.

This Lawyer is Ultra Professional, Timely. Honest. He handles everything quickly, accurately, helped me get my bonds back in a timely manner, even corrected a court error as it related to my bond amount. That was ONE case he handled for me. The second case he handled for me without even charging me a fee. This has Never happened before in my life. His rates were very very reasonable to begin with and the fact he even offered a freebie on the second case is AMAZING....highly recommended

I found Mr. Stanko through the Martindale web site and contacted him before my court date in South Bend. He returned my phone call on a weekend and arranged to meet me at court. When I got to court, he had all of the forms ready for me to sign and got me into the interlock program. I did everything that was required (counseling, VIP and interlock) and 6 months later my DUI was dismissed. He is very organized, responsive, and he knows the court system. I was happy to only go to court twice.

Paul Stanko is the best lawyer I have dealt with, and I'm sorry to say that I have dealt with several in recent years. By the time I found him, I had a horrible driving record, and there was little he could change about that, but he DID persuade both the prosecutor and the judge to treat me as leniently as was possible under the law. He referred me to counseling immediately; he was very kind and supportive when I was so depressed and down-hearted. In the end, he saved my job.

I have an OH driver license but was arrested for DUI in IN. He was careful to explain that he is only licensed in IN and couldn't advise me on OH law, but also mentioned that I may be able to get credit for an IN suspension against any suspension OH ordered. In the end, my license was NEVER suspended, he got me into the ignition interlock program and my case was dropped to reckless driving. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law, his willingness to explain procedures and dedication

Mr. Stanko took my felony drunk driving case in St. Joseph County and was able to get me a reduced charge to a misdemeanor. Talking to other people who have had cases there, I heard that getting a misdemeanor at sentencing doesn't happen very often. the prosecutor wanted me to have a felony conviction, but that would have made finding a job tough. Mr. Stanko asked the judge to give me a misdemeanor and sure enough that's what happened! He treated me with respect and kindness all the way.

Judge Stanko was incredibly understanding and supportive in helping me through the most stressful time of my life. His experience and ability are obvious, and the respect he is shown by the court, the prosecutor and the other attorneys is very reassuring to a nervous client like me! Not only did he get me an outstanding result, but he really made me feel much better about myself. I could see him as a motivational speaker if he weren't a lawyer.

After never being in trouble in my life, I contacted Mr. Stanko to help with a pending DUI. I had blown double the legal limit and was in fear of a conviction that could affect my current job and future employment. Paul took the time to explain the process and was able to get the case plead to Reckless Driving with other stipulations. The outcome was favorable to me and I appreciate the work that he completed on my case.

I have used Paul twice.....the first time he was incredible......the second case...not so much

Does not communicate well. I hired him to handle a speeding ticket in 2015 and he told me it was handled and not to worry. Today I received a letter from the BMV stating my license was suspended due to an unpaid ticket. I asked why didn’t I receive something in the mail and I was told that they do not mail anything out and that someone showed up for all of my court dates. Paul never made me aware of any fees. I am so upset because I can’t even pay the fee until Friday due to me not having a file
