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!

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!!!
