Deborah Helped Me Navigate My First DUI

When I was arrested and charged with a DUI I thought my life was over. I'm not being dramatic. I really did. I was so scared. I found Deborah's information online and after talking with her for the first time I felt relieved. She explained what the process was going to look like, which helped turn an... uncertain landscape into a smooth timeline; she assured me that I was going to be fine, which is something that was so hard for me to believe initially; and she told me she would be with me every step of the way. I never knew a lawyer could be so encouraging. When it came time for the pre-sentencing to begin it felt like someone was going to bat for me every time we spoke with the judge, so much so that when I received my sentence both it and my probation requirements were much less intense than I was expecting. From the first time we spoke with the judge through my probation Deborah has always been ready to help. When I call she either answers or lets me know when she can talk next, and almost every time she tells me that if I have any other concerns to just call her. For all these reasons I highly recommend using Deborah if you are in the situation I was in or something similar. You will not be disappointed.

Very Satisfied Client!

I am so grateful and thankful that I met Attorney Debbie Schlussel. I thought that getting my first DUI case my life was over. Debbie literally held my hand through the process and I owe my freedom to her. She successfully pled my case from High BAC to Visually Impaired, the lowest drinking and drivi...ng charge. She reminded me that people make mistakes and this will too pass. She never judged me and she encouraged me to continue my optimistic view toward things. She is VERY thorough and her word is her bond. Professional and caring to every person she encounters. Anyone that is considering retaining Atty. Schlussel, It will be the best legal decision you have EVER made!!! She fights for her clients. Thank You Soooo Much Ms. Debbie!!! God Bless You!!!

Best attorney

Debbie schlussel is absolutely a fantastic attorney, and I have attorneys in other states in my family. Absolutely and positively did everything she said she’d do and then some. She was persistent, communicated the entire time in a way that was concise as well as easy to understand. I’m by no mean...s a wealthy person, but this was probably the best money I’ve ever spent! I was updated throughout the entire process by Ms. Schlussel, she continued to fight this case on my behalf and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Don’t go to those other guys, hire Debbie Schlussel! Her representation was stellar to say the least. The state was dragging their feet the entire time and Ms. Schlussel never over promised and absolutely over delivered! I have blood relative attorneys and even they were impressed at how professional Ms. Schlussel was the entire way. It goes without saying, I’d only go to Debbie Schlussel. Though I hope I never have to deal with a court case again, she’s the first and o ot attorney I’d hire in Michigan! She very much so handled everything with the prosecutor and the judge, all I had to do was be present. She handled everything else entirely. Seriously, this is the attorney you need, if you need an attorney in Michigan!
