Unbelievable representation

So I was charged with 3rd degree retail fraud for something that was a clear and obvious mistake, so much so that I was content with handling the case with the court appointed lawyer they had assigned to me who clearly didn’t have my best interest in mind. The court appointed lawyer pushed me to acce...pt a plea agreement that would not have been the most beneficial, so I decided to hire my own lawyer, and came across Attorney Debbie Schlussel who immediately came in upon being retained and paid great dividends. She took me from possibly having this charge placed on my permanent record and facing some form of probation, to getting the case thrown out all together. I’ll forever grateful for her work on my case and her overall care for my well being. She’s amazing.

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.
