  • Paul Stanko Criminal Defense

2/14/20

I've noticed that Paul responds to negative reviews by denying that the reviewer was his client. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he did the same to me. Surely, we are all just lying. If you read the negative reviews, you'll see that a common theme is LACK OF COMMUNICATION. This is absolutely true! I hired Paul for a case in December 2017. He kept postponing my court dates despite me asking him that I would like to get the case over with ASAP (I have screenshots of me texting him this with no responses from him btw). Well, after postponing my court dates for OVER A YEAR, I was finally able to START my pretrial diversion program in April 2019. The program lasts a year so my case could have been dismissed by now if he had not postponed my case for over a year. It's 2020 and I still have a few more months of pretrial diversion for a case from 2017! I recently consulted with 3 other lawyers about this and they were all appalled at how long my case took and said that if they had been my lawyer, the goal would have been to get me on pretrial diversion ASAP. I cannot stress enough how poorly he communicates. He does not have a receptionist so you always get sent to voicemail, which for the past two years that I've been his client has ALWAYS been full so you can't even leave a message. I've also tried to reach him through email and text. Out of the dozens of texts I've sent, he's rarely replied. He's also given me erroneous information regarding the pretrial program, which leads me to believe he lacks the knowledge and competence to handle such cases. I wish I would have hired a good lawyer instead, but I unfortunately paid him in full at the very beginning and could not afford to switch to another lawyer. I hope he tries to deny that I'm his client, because I'd gladly take screenshots of the dozens of emails, phone calls, and texts I've sent him over the past 2 years so you can see for yourself to just how many he's replied (I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to upload photos of screenshots along with my review).

Im not quite sure how Mr Stanko is getting 5 star reviews. These people are either family friends...
