Would definitely recommend him as a lawyer

I hired him for a very serious criminal case and I am satisfied with the results. He explained everything to me extremely well and was very respectful and honest. I also feel his prices are fair in comparison to other lawyers in the area.

3rd OWI offense with open bottle plus more...

Looking at jail time and loosing my job plus more with a 3rd OWI Charge. Reviewed other attorneys and came across Joel and chose him. He was excellent and very good communicator and always answered my calls or called back in a reasonable time. It is not just the court stuff but also the DMV issues th...at is good to get answered about too, which Joel answered for me with clarity. He carefully reviewed my case and previous OWIs for any potential issues. He is an expert about Collateral Attack defense for OWI cases. He did not use this defense in my case but was able to leverage the possibility and lower my offense to a 2nd OWI. I received the bare minimum fine and punishment of a 2nd OWI too. From where I started the day after getting charged to meeting Joel has been huge in overcoming this difficult situation. With positive results day by day working with Joel. I would highly recommend Joel and at the very least contact him about your Legal problems, if you don't need an Attorney. I am sure Joel would be the first person to let you know and provide the reason why you do or don't need legal representation. Thank you, Joel!!!!

Best Possible Outcome Attained (DUI)

I was in a predicament with multiple DUIs but I saw an opportunity to get it down to a 1st offense. After consulting with several attorneys about my situation, Joel was the only one that gave me hope we could get it down to a 1st offense. I hired Joel and he was able to get me the best possible outco...me and down to the 1st offense. He is experienced and well respected in the courtroom. I would recommend.

Schlitz: Attorney and Counselor at Law

Joel Schlitz is a trial attorney and counselor at law. I am an attorney from another state, and had the experience of being his client. As an attorney, he was stellar, in my professional and personal opinion. His grasp of the legal issues, and his trial conduct were second to none. He conducted hi...mself at all times in a professional manner, and his abilities gave me much comfort at a difficult time. Equally impressive were his “counselor” skills. When required, he was empathetic and was able to guide me in the right direction, at a time when I needed to take his sage advice. Hudson is fortunate to have such a first-class attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a five-star trial attorney. Many thanks to Joel and his staff.

Thanks Joel!!!!

My husband and I hired Joel to represent us as defendants in a lawsuit where the plaintiff was accusing us of failure to disclose substantial defects in the real estate condition report related to a home we sold. Joel was professional, got back to us promptly with our questions, was thoughtful in o...ur strategy, and did a great job representing us in our mediation. We highly recommend Joel to represent you.
