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.

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.

100% recommend!

Best lawyer around! Affordable and gets the job done! Made my probation go from 12 months to 6 months talked the court down from 2 different drug tests to just 1, and even made it to where I could keep my license! She knew what had happened to a honest mistake and made sure the court understood that ...as well I recommend Deborah K. Schlussel 100%.

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

Highly recommend

I'm extremely satisfied with the amazing work this woman put into my cases. Other lawyers wanted way more and didn't have half of the hospitality and determination this woman had since the first time we spoke. I thank you a ton Debbie and will most certainly recommend you to anyone I know in need of ...a great lawyer.
