You cannot go wrong with the Wanko Law Firm. Steve is reliable and dependable and easy to talk to. He will not give up and you shouldn’t either. My case took 3.5 years but in the end had a favorable outcome. I definitely recommend his firm.

Absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, everything was handled quickly, professionally, and with zero stress on my end. My case was resolved much faster than I ever expected, and communication was clear the entire time. Mr. Wanko is a no-nonsense, honest, true class act. If you want real results, he's the one to call.

This was an experience I was unfortunately really unprepared for. I was recommended Steve and he immediately found issues with my case that I didn’t notice. From there on they worked on my case that ended up dragging on for years. They will fight for you but also let you know what to expect. This turned into a long process for me and I couldn’t have done it without a good attorney. I would recommend anyone going through a work related injury case please just at least speak to an attorney. I would recommend The Wanko Law Firm to anyone.

The professionals at Wanko clearly exceeded my expectations. Every detail was explained to me and they helped me receive compensation for a horrific work accident that will live on my body for the rest of my days. The average individual simply doesn’t have the knowledge of legal precedents and various rulings. You’d be hard pressed to find a more diligent and honest legal staff. Thank you sirs.

Mr. Steve Wanko is the best attorney to handle any workers comp claim, etc. It was so frustrating trying to handle it on my own and when I contacted Mr. Wanko he went straight to the business. I was so amazed at the time frame I received my settlement and so thankful I chose the Wanko family to represent me. I highly recommend his services!

We had hired his firm for a workman's compensation claim, after firing Gordon law firm for not helping us at all. Steve was great, did everything in his power and experience to get us the help we desperately needed. I would and will recommend him to everyone i know who has been hurt on the job. Thanks Steve for all you did.

When I found Mr. Wanko the insurance company had stopped my husband's temporary disability payments, stopped paying for the doctors and offered him a small stettlement! Mr Wanko got him a new doctor! His temporary disability back on an there actually seems to be light in a very dark time! If you had an attorney that didn't help, an insurance company that isn't listening and doesn't care this is your man! I am so happy I found an attorney that actually seems to care about their clients!!!!!
