I'm sure that my story is much the same as other clients who have needed Mr. Stanko's services. When I got arrested in Mishawaka for drunk driving, I checked around to see who would be the best DUI lawyer to defend me. I actually had a friend, another student, whom he had helped just last year. He recommended him as a person who would guide me through the whole ordeal with as little trauma as possible. I also read his reviews and endorsements on Avvo. I talked to Mr. Stanko on the phone for about a half hour before my first court date, and he explained the ignition interlock program, which he said I should be eligible for. When we met at court a few days later, he had the order ready for the judge to sign so I could keeping driving, as long as I had the interlock installed. He also had all the information I needed to get everything done that I needed to do before my next court date. I was fortunate to have my charges reduced to public intoxication when I went back to court in 6 months. I saved a lot of money on car insurance by avoiding a DUI conviction. Mr. Stanko's fees are explained up front, and they are set in advance. He explains every step of the process and guides you through everything you need to know and do. I found that he answered almost all of my questions before I even asked, but any time I needed his advice he was very helpful. He has a way of explaining things to people without talking down to them.
