Criminal Defense 30%

I defend anyone who has been charged, or is about to be charged, with a crime. I handle Murders, to assaults, to Domestic Violence, to DUI's, to theft related offenses. Just because you were arrested does NOT mean that you are guilty. The first person you should talk to if you think you are in trouble should be your lawyer, not the police or anyone else.

Posted by Jason | August 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Could not be more pleased!!!

Mr. Schlueter took my DUI case and handled it masterfully. He explained to me that there are two battles to fight; 1. with the DMV and 2. with the courts. Mr. Schlueter took on the DMV and won! I didn't lose my drivers license. Next he took on the DA. Because he use to work for the DA and is on ...first name basis with most of the attorneys who work their he knew how far we could push and for what. I never had to go to court or to the DMV; he went for me. End result is I ended up with a "reckless driving" charge and had to attend a class. All things considered I could have ended up with much worse had I not had Mr. Schlueter's help. When I first interviewed Mr. Schlueter I asked him about his legal history and why he decided to be a defense attorney. He said when he worked for the DA's office he saw too many people go through the courts and get bad deals because they had poor defense attorneys who didn't fight for them hard enough. This man has the experience and connections to fight for your case and give you the best possible outcome with the courts. Comparatively to other DUI attorney's his fees are a bit low but the quality of service is very high. Of course he can only do so much and ultimately you are accountable for your situation but given the circumstances he will provide you with good council and help you get a fair judgement for your case; much better than if you did it alone.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
