Carla Schuessler, Chief Operating Officer for The Complete Legal Defense Team, is a longtime resident of Myrtle Beach, SC. Originally from the Midwest, Schuessler relocated in 1997 after graduating from Illinois State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in political science.

In pursuit of warmer weather and fresh opportunities, Carla joined her sister who was a student at Coastal Carolina University. After taking a job just two days later, she began what would become a successful career of over 25 years managing operations and growth within businesses covering the property management, non-profit, and legal sectors.
