I got my case dismissed with Debbie.

I was facing five felonies and she filled the proper motion to get my case dismissed.

Experienced attorney

Retaining Debbie as your counsel is the best choice for you to make. She is experienced in what she practices and most importantly cares for you and your interests as her client.

Debbie Schlussel A++ representation

Debbie provided excellent representation from beginning to end in the defense against charges of manufacturing and delivery of methamphetamine, that I received in Canton, MI, The charges are felonies that carry a mandatory 10-20 year prison sentence. Debbie was a super star in challenging if there w...as probable cause to pull me over and nearly got the charges dismissed before the case left Canton District Court for the 3rd Circuit Court of Wayne County. Debbie was able to get the felony charge of manufacturing and delivery dismissed and replaced with a misdemeanor charge of use of methamphetamine by using her expertise and knowledge of criminal law, that she has developed over her years of practice. I highly recommend the retention of Debbie Schlussel to represent you in the defense of any criminal charges! She will grind and out work the prosecution if necessary! Honestly, I owe her great gratitude, as she saved at least 10 years of what are suppose to be the best years and highest years of my life! I can breathe again!

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.

Highly satisfied

Debbie helped out with my process and I felt lost while dealing with my case and she was able to explain it and fight for a fair judgement.
