They do not give a free consultation, they were unwilling to discuss anything with me over the phone and they charge $300 an hour. I’ll gladly find another law firm that actually cares about their clients.

Mr Schlaich was very professional and knowledgeable of the law and how the court system worked and took his time and explained everything in great detail. He also explained what could possibly take place during the trial land explained in details that the average layman could understand. I would highly recommend Mr Schlaich and his law firm to anyone who is seeking a competent attorney who does his due diligence to get the best outcome for his client(s)

The very best family law firm in Bel Air.

I was referred to Carl Schlaich of Schlaich & Thompson Chartered by another prominent attorney in Harford County. I met with Carl at his office late in the evening (8:00 PM) for an initial consultation. After reviewing my case and agreeing to represent me, I retained Carl on the spot. His rates and fees are very reasonable and competitive. His professionalism and knowledge of the law are unmatched. Carl is a great negotiator and his skill was evident as my case proceeded through the Courts. Carl invested countless hours representing me and was always available to answer my many questions, both in person and over the phone. Carl was dedicated to providing me with the best representation possible throughout the entire process. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my complex case. I appreciate the fine representation I received and thank Carl for his professionalism and dedication.

Mr Schlaich represented both my sons on separate occasions and we found him to be very professional and knowledgeable of the law. He was extremely thorough, took his time and explained everything in great detail including how the court system operates, what the options where and what may possibly take place during the trial. I / we would highly recommend Mr Schlaich to anyone who is looking for a competent attorney who does his due diligence to get the best results for his client.

In reference to Mr. Schlaich response to my one star, I felt as though I was coerced to pleading the 5th. Him knowing my attacker personally and even representing him in the past did not help my case what so ever. Pleading to 5th, in that case I could have been represented by a public defender and saved my money. I would not have gone into detail had this attorney did not feel my one star was a personal attack and responded as such. I felt my case was just handled in a lazy manner and yet again I’m under attack for giving one star. I hope no other client receives poor representation as you gave.

Great defense attorneys

Basically a bottom feeder at a top dollar rate. Does not accomplish tasks on time, can not give good law advice and is basically a cherry lawyer trying to rip people off. Really not well versed in law.

On March 22, 2016,
We were clients of Schlaich & Thompson with Carl and Katherine as our lawyers. We would like to take this opportunity to tell you what a thoroughly outstanding job that they did for us in our serious traffic case. These two individuals were the complete professionals in their handling of our case.

We would also like to give extra kudos for their professionalism. Carl kept us informed on every aspect of the case from start to court date. Katherine completed it in court and they are truly an amazing team and a huge asset to the community. We greatly appreciate and thank you for your wisdom, we are elated with the outcome of yesterday. Much appreciated. The Washingtons

I picked Mrs. Thompson out of the phone book to represent me in a divorce and glad I did. Mrs. Thompson and the team are very professional, proactive and respond back to my questions or concerns quickly. They are a great team.
I am thankful for their help.

I was referred to Katie Thompson from a long-time friend in Bel Air (attorney) who I have used for decades. My friend does not handle family law and so he referred me to Katie. From the start She was direct, no-nonsense, honest, forthright, competent and compassionate. I felt I was in good hands and, in the end, was proven right. Katie and her staff handled my case with professionalism and competency. She did not waste time on unnecessary billable hours and i feel I got a tremendous value as well as excellent representation. I would highly recommend her without reservation.
