Best Lawyer for DUI- Highly Recommend!!

I highly recommend Attorney Schlussel if you are facing a DUI conviction- especially if you have a 2nd or more. Debbie helped me navigate the entire legal process with care and compassion. I never felt judged, she really wanted to help me. She took the time to explain my options and went through extr...a steps to get the best possible outcome. I was accepted into sobriety court in lieu of jail time, which I didn’t even think was possible. Debbie also accepted a payment plan. I am eternally grateful for her service. If you are in a similar situation, she is an attorney you can trust! 100% Recommend without hesitation!

Debbie Schlussel does great work!

I hired Debbie to help out with my DWI case, with her help I was able to get it brought down to impaired driving, lightened my court fees, and negotiated down some details of my sentencing making it easier for me to do what needed to be done for probation. She gave good counsel throughout the 10 mon...ths of my probation and showed for court hearings she didn't have to be at, but supported me anyway. Debbie knows the right people, was honest with me, and cut straight to the point. She did extra services without tacking on more payment and was very fair. I recommend her for representation.

Most affordable, best results!

I hired Ms Schlussel to represent me on 2 drunk driving cases. She was able to get one case dismissed, and got reduced charges on the other. She worked very well with me on informing of the proactive steps I should take, and worked well with all others involved (prosecution, probation, judge, etc), i...n order to get the best results. The process does take time, but she is very thorough and wants to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. She beat all other lawyers fees as well. By going with Debbie, I got the most affordable representation, and a result that was far better (honestly that I thought was impossible) than I could have ever hoped for. Debbie will fight for you, and as long as you do your part, you will not regret hiring her.

Debbie is a wonderful person. Thought I was going to be doing some jail time worried I was going to lose my license didn't get either on the third offense drunk driving. if it hadn't been for her I would have definitely be in a different situation right now. She's unbelievable.
