Joel D. Schlitz

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!

Joel helped me on my 3rd o.w.i., he was very comforting as I put myself into a bad situation. Joel was ALWAYS available when I needed to talk about my case and if he wasn't instantly available he was prompt in returning my calls. He seemed to have a good reputation with both the judge and the prosecu...tion and was very respected by them. If I ever need legal help or consultation in the future Mr. Schlitz will be my first call!!!

I was accused and confessed to a number of charges by the local PD. I really didn’t have any defense. Joel was able to reduce multiple felonies down to a few misdemeanor charges. Without Without Joel everything would be lost, including my career, family and freedom. Joel’s most impressive custome...r skill is communication. He not only kept me in the loop but he also provided guidance, counseling and friendship throughout the case process. I consider him a friend first and a lawyer second. I knew he was on my side from the start and he proved it many times over.
