Deborah K. Schlussel

In September of 2023 I made a mistake that could’ve potentially resulted in some serious prison time. I was charged with 2 felonies that were each punishable by up to 20 years in prison. After being released from jail on bond, I had to act quickly because I knew a public defender wouldn’t be adequate... for the situation I was in. After talking to multiple lawyers and hearing about how difficult the case would be, I felt helpless. Debbie was one of the many lawyers I contacted and left a message. Most didn’t respond. She called me back that evening and was the first lawyer I spoke to that eased my mind and spoke to me like everything was going to be okay. She listened to my perspective on the matter diligently and assured me that she would take care of me. I had never been in any trouble before so I was very concerned about my future and the legal process in general. I just kept thinking that I would have to do time in prison and I didn’t how to handle that. Debbie assured me that I would be okay countless times. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve just listened to her from the start as it would’ve saved me a lot of panic. She was right. She never misled me or told me things that were untrue. She either immediately responded to any questions I had, or called me back as soon as she was free and talked to me. A lesser lawyer would’ve probably ignored me or told me to stop contacting them so much. She is very accessible and always willing to have a conversation about your case, no matter how redundant the questions are. She even had conversations with my mother to ease her concern multiple times, which she did not have to do. She drove well over an hour to my multiple court appearances. She fought for me hard in the courtroom and we eventually settled for a very favorable plea deal that resulted in me receiving 12 months of unsupervised probation. That’s unheard of in my situation. She worked tirelessly on my case and I am forever grateful for her work as it likely saved my future. She is very reasonably priced as well. I would hire her again and again, although I will not be getting into any kind of legal trouble again. If you’re in a bind, I cannot recommend her enough. Debbie is simply the best!

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.

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.
