Paul seemed very professional at first he definitely has a lot of knowledge and experience. But through the process of my case when I had hired him his lack of communication was frustrating. Also I think my sentencing could have went much better, other attorneys have told me the same. He still hasn’t responded to me about some time credit issues. Waste of money and time

Could not be more satisfied! Judge Stanko took great care of me in my case. From the moment I first talked to him about my problem (a FREE, no rush consultation over the phone), I could tell that he basically knows everything about the law that anyone could know. In court, you can tell that everyone has deep respect for him, including the prosecutor. That has to help. He charged me one flat fee to take care of my case, so I was able to budget, and he accepted a bond assignment for the balance I owed at the end. He is the only lawyer I know that doesnt require you to be paid in full before he finishes your case. No upcharging and no extra fees. His fees are not cheap, but they are also not as high as some less prominent lawyers. I shopped around and I know! Besides, I didnt want a CHEAP lawyer; I wanted the BEST lawyer!

Paul Stanko is the most experienced attorney Ive ever met. Everyone in the courts seems to know him and respect his knowledge. He is the ultimate professional, but was also very kind to my family and me throughout the whole lengthy process of handling my drunk driving case. Judge Stanko is incredibly thorough, always prepared and dedicated to obtaining the best possible results for his client. I recommend him to anyone that is in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He is quite simply the best!

When I first received noticed of my charges I was scared out of my mind. I called around to different attorneys and Paul Stanko was the first one who actually made time out of his busy day to meet with me that same day and give me the peace of mind that it was going to be okay. He did an outstanding job with my case and explained everything to be me as I had a lot of questions throughout the process. He was able to get me the best deal/outcome on my case. I can’t thank him enough and if anyone needs a great attorney he is the man to talk to because he will make sure to get you through it.

Did not respond to phone calls very well. Also told us 1 thing and did another ! I actually had another attorney go over my case and flat out tell me YOUR ATTORNEY SCREWED YOU! Would not recommend!!

Paul Stanko is an amazing attorney. He takes care of cases with a minimum of fuss. I used him in a reckless driving case. He managed to keep me out of jail. I had to show up one time! He seems to practice law effortlessly. He also worked with me on payment arrangements. He also takes cases in counties that most lawyers wont go to. I wouldnt even consider using anyone else unless he didnt specialize in that area, like divorce.

Amazing counsel! Well respected and well known. He can get into contact with who youll need to help move your case along quickly. Will take good care of you! Contact him now!

There is no substitute for experience!My Daughter got into trouble for underage drinking while attending college in South Bend, and I was frantic to find an experienced Indiana criminal defense lawyer to help. I got hold of Judge Stanko on a weekend and he returned my call within hours. His office is literally footsteps away from the courthouse, and he is well-known in the local courts.His calm reassurance and professionalism eased my mind immediately. He arranged for a pretrial diversion, and a year later my daughters case was dismissed. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to find an experienced lawyer when your childs future is at stake!UPDATE: My daughter has now had her case expunged.

Great lawyer and a great guy. Paul put me at ease throughout the entire process. The end result I got was better than anything I thought possible. I would recommend Paul to anyone in the area or from out of state like I am.

Attorney Paul Stanko helped me through a very complicated situation I was faced with. He gave me and my family peace of mind.I truly recommend his law firm he is diligent, precise, and cares for his clients. I will highly recommend his services he will not disappoint you. He has offices in Crown Point, Plymouth, South Bend, Indiana.My family cannot Thank you enough

Paul Stanko has been my lawyer for years. I am delighted that he now has an office in Plymouth. I live in the Warsaw area, and he has always accommodated me by meeting me in the Warsaw courts building rather than making me drive an hour to his South Bend office. Paul is an amazing lawyer and a great person. I will gladly make the half hour drive from Warsaw to Plymouth to meet with him in the future.You will never find a finer, more experienced, lawyer than Paul.*I really love the fact that Paul follows up periodically with me, just to touch base. I know things have been really difficult for the courts during this COVID situation, and having a lawyer who goes above and beyond for you is just really comforting!
