From 4 Felonies Down To A Clean Record in a Year (well a year and some days)

On 7/7/2022, I was arrested in Ann Arbor. On 7/8/2022, I was released from jail knowing that the following month I were to face 4 felonies that if convicted, were to be imprisoned for almost 40 years! With me being just 30 at the time, I knew I couldn’t waste another second of my life as an inma...te. Thanks to my close-knit siblings, they were able to get in contact with Attorney Schlussel and was able to set up a consultation for me that following week. After the consultation, I was hopeful in that she was willing to defend me in my case. In fact, she was willing to work on my case for a one time fee instead of her usual rate. That fee is literally the reason why I can type out this review in the free world today. Well, with that fee, I was able to render the services of a well-versed, and dedicated Defense Attorney. She was so dedicated on my case that she went to one of my court hearings less than 24 hours after going to the ER (on her own accord lol)! For over a year, Attorney Schlussel answered any question I had. She made sure to answer back any calls she may have missed from me. She gave me a plan of action and most importantly, made sure that my record stays clean; my record was clean prior to this ordeal. If you do decide to hire Attorney Schlussel, just know that she is a practicing Jewish attorney; she will NOT be available during the Sabbath along with any Jewish holiday (I mistakenly tried to do this and got no answer lol). If you got yourself in a bad situation and you need a defense attorney in the state of Michigan, Attorney Schlussel is the one for you.
