Deborah fought for me 4-20 to no time served and no probation

My fiance Ryan had a felony case with frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit Michigan from 2019 and was facing originally 4-20 years, He were given a court-appointed attorney that did not fight for him! meanwhile in search for a better attorney we came across Deborah just when we thought it was too... late because he had already taken a plea she reached out to us and thankfully she did. The very first court date after hiring Deborah he got his tethers off that he had for 3 years prior to having her on the case. She was extremely involved with his case and with getting Justice for his situation, she was also very understanding when it came to our financial situation which is very rare to find, she got the judge to agree to a plea on the nose and was still not happy with his sentencing we ended up leaving the courtroom June 29th with a sentencing that started from 3 to 20 years the case was suspended and adjourned Ryan had no probation and all was owed is restitution. We were very blessed to have her she is good with questions communicating and understands that we are all human. I would strongly encourage you to reach out to her at any time and hire her on your case if you want to get Justice.

Could not ask for better!!

Ms. Schlussel was everything I could ask and want for in representation. She defended my child and I adamantly and without fail. She was patient and understand of my constant worried calls. I found comfort and support in her resolve to support our fight. I won full physical and legal custody of my ch...ild because of her. She continues to be a shoulder to lend aid and support. No better person to defend you in my book!!!

Professional

Debbie was professional and made it clear that she was going to make every effort to see that I would receive the best outcome possible. She was very good at explaining the process and what I would be facing every step of the way. To say that I was nervous is a understatement. Debbie has the abil...ity to be calming, which was incredibly important to me. I would certainly reccomend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

Excellent Attorney

She is an excellent attorney. I was facing a serious charge of which I was not guilty. No one want to take on case not enough money. But not only did she take on my case. But kept me informed about everything every step on the way. She fought very hard in my behalf even though they tried to pressure...d me to settle she listened to me and fought. She's was able to get a dismissal She truly the best

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.
