A native of the Hazleton area, he graduated from Pennsylvania State University. He earned his Juris Doctor from Widener School of Law.

Attorney Slusser is truly no stranger to hard work. If there is a will, there is a way – and Attorney Slusser will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Even decades later, he does not lose sight of where he came from.

He knows how tough it is when you can’t make ends meet and pay the bills because you’ve been in an accident. Attorney Slusser firmly believes in the old adage “treat others how you want to be treated,” and he implements this ideal into his legal practice.
