Joel D. Schlitz

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.

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.

I was pulled over for a DWI and also charged with "intent to sell THC." While the Assistant DA was "slow-to-respond," Joel's persistence eventually lead to a plea agreement which included several charges being dismissed, and two counts of THC possession (a misdemeanor). The DA also reduced my blood...-alcohol charge (avoiding a vehicle interlock requirement). I believe it is largely Joel's integrity and reputation within the courts that helped both the DA and the Judge to see my case for what it was (and wasn't). While this has cost me a bundle both financially, professionally, and personally, I firmly believe that I received the most lenient sentence possible given the original charges. This has been an extremely difficult time for me and my family. Not only has Joel been accessible and responsive, he has also treated me with respect, understanding, and compassion - having a friend and confidant in my corner has meant the world to me!

I’ve hired Joel to represent me twice in court. Both times he went above & beyond to ensure I had access to the best possible outcome. One highlight in the court room was during an officer’s presentation of evidence, when Joel promptly objected the direction of conversation & assured that the judge &... officer refrained from discussing my character or anything more than necessary to present evidence. This type of representation is the reason I’m still able to work in my career field. Well worth the cost.

I would like to start this off by saying that Joel did a fantastic job not only with the legal side of things but with his communication as to the whereabouts and new information discovered as the estate case progressed. My sister and I needed help in dealing with my father's estate. Joel was t...he very first lawyer we called and he was also the last. My sister and I felt right about him from the very beginning. He was very informative and also His consultation was effective and his results were fantastic. I called a few other law firms, only because I was taught to look into all possibilities; however, knew I was going to access his services after his effective consultation. My father had passed away and left my sister and I in the dark as to what was going to happen to his estate. He had remarried and his new wife THOUGHT she was going to keep everything. My sister and I didn't want to put my dad's new wife into any hardship situation, for we just wanted to get what was fair. Joel gave me a good place to start and based off of those results we determined that appointing somebody experienced was the best step to take. Overall his experience coupled with his effective communication are the reason why I would recommend him and of course why I have him 5 stars. I am glad I got him to help and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I need any further help.
