Outstanding Lawyer

I made the terrible mistake of driving drunk and got a DWI. And due to my high BAC I was facing some very serious penalties. After much "lawyer shopping" I decided to go with Mr. Pritchett. He made it very clear we faced an uphill battle and in all likelihood i would be convicted. Nevertheless, we came up with a plan and when favorable situations presented themselves Mr. Pritchett knew exactly how to use them to our advantage. Because of his thorough knowledge of how the system works he was able to get my DWI charge dismissed on June 8, 2018. I have learned my lesson and will NEVER drink and drive again but for those that make the mistake I highly recommend Mr. Pritchett. Thank you so much to everyone at Sclosser and Pritchett!

Job well done

I had a traffic case and they were willing to help me. I was told they would get the ticket moved down to a lesser charge. Thet actually had the whole case dismissed. I never had to go to court they went for me and kept me informed. That way I did not have to miss work. I say a job well done, and they went over and aboard. The first time I ever neeed a laywer and glad I made the right choice.

I know there so many attorneys that represent people in courts in countless places including Greensboro, NC, US. However, each attorney or firm is differentiated from other lawyers by his or her expertise, knowledge, experience, and philosophical professionalism. I can't find words that would describe my satisfaction with Schlosser & Pritchett Firm when they helped me shake off the trouble I most got into. Please do not hesitate to contact this firm if you really want an assistance with your case.

The Best Decision

I got involved with some questionable people making bad choices. Because of those bad decisions I was making, I got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know much better then what I was doing. I deserved a second chance to straighten out my life, get back on the right track & do the right thing. I NEEDED SERIOUS HELP. I made the right decision and retained SCHLOSSER & PRATCHETT. They were able to straighten out what was happening to me. I avoided what was surely happening to me. I got through it ok & back on the right track for a much better future. The whole team at SCHLOEMER & PRITCHETT saw through everything and new I was slightly derailed from the bigger & better things I was destined for. If you are in a situation with a possibility of a bad outcome and the law is involved you need to start making good decisions. The best you can make. Contact SCHLOSSER & PRITCHETT & let them work out the best possible out come for you. -

Highly Recommended

As someone who travels regularly on business around the country, I find myself in many cities throughout the land. From time to time I am in need of professional services in an area where I know nobody, so I rely on the internet to locate the best of the best. This is one of those times. I was driving my way through Greensboro North Carolina, and unfortunately got into a little bit of a situation where I needed the services of a Greensboro criminal lawyer. That is where I found Former District Attorney Michael Schlosser. I can not go into the specifics of my case, but I can tell you I have never found a criminal lawyer more knowledgeable and accommodating then Michael Schlosser. He is always available to speak about your case. He always picks up your call or calls you back right away, and his advocate in the truest meaning of the word. I can not recommend him highly enough, and if you are looking for a top notch criminal defense lawyer in Greensboro, then look no further.
