I am in awe of Debbie. She has to be the most knowledgeable and professional lawyer around. Her attention to detail goes beyond being a good lawyer. Debbie is an exceptional lawyer. Words don't describe her wonderful abilities. I was so fortunate to have Debbie represent me. You will too if yo...u fortunate to engage her services.

Top Notch Attorney

I was accused of a crime, and needed legal representation. After consulting numerous attorneys, I went with Debbie. It was the right decision! She was very supportive and knowledgeable, which was very helpful navigating this ridiculous situation. After running through the preliminaries, it w...as clear a trial was the only way to achieve exoneration. This is where Debbie excelled. Her ability to stick to the facts and utilize the law was remarkable! Her diligent approach to the truth was paramount in achieving a ‘Not Guilty’ verdict via a jury trial. THANK YOU Debbie, wonderful job!!!!!

A wonderful attorney running her own practice.

I recently got into some trouble. Givin the charges I was looking at jail time. I have a wife and daughter of 9 years old. If Sent to jail I was going to loose my house that I own, my cars , my wife and child. We just couldn't afford to make it without me working. I reached out and Deborah K. Schluss...el responded within 3 minutes. Lightning fast. She presented herself as a strong aggressive Jewish attorney and would beat any other attorneys price. I was charged with the worst class of drugs you can have. 5 misdemeanors. When she told me the cost and said I could go research her online to see she was active and had 30 years experience I hired her right away. I took about 5 minutes to look her up online. No one was going to beat her price. I didn't know at the time she ran her own practice by herself. I'm used to big law firms and playing phone tag and getting the front desk. I can't tell you how big of a deal this is . She responds promptly to calls and texts. Even if she is in court. She will say I'll get back to you as soon as I get out of court. Any questions anytime . When your this worried or have questions it really makes a world of difference. She was very honest and didn't make fake promises. She recommended I do a few different things ahead of time to improve my chances. I did the things she told me to . She can't do her job if you don't hold up your end . Same goes for honesty. She can't do her job if your not truthful. She made the experience personal and with a caring attitude. Again working for herself I'll never go to anyone else if anything ever happens. ( not going to blow my second chance). She's a wonderful lady and professional. She knew the judges and was able to Give me an idea of what I was looking at. I feel like I had someone looking out for me. I am still in shock , she got me probation and on top of it they are going to expunge my record if I do what I am supposed to do. I cried when. I received the offer. A second chance at life. I say this from my heart. Highly recommended. She handles a wide range of cases . I'll be honest I was impressed even if I didn't get the offer. She runs her own business , treats you like a human being and is honest.
