Firm Overview

The law firm of Schlaich & Thompson, Chartered, is located in Harford County, Maryland in the town of Bel Air. We have represented thousands of clients in family law, criminal defense and personal injury issues. As natives of Maryland, our attorneys have remained active in the community throughout the years. As a result, we know the judges, the prosecutors, and other attorneys in the Harford area. Over 35 years of combined legal experience has provided us with extensive trial skills.

Family Law
In addition to criminal defense and personal injury, families in Harford County and the surrounding areas look to Schlaich & Thompson for the legal services we provide in all aspects of family law. Divorce, child custody, child support, adoption and paternity are just a few of the many issues which families face.

Criminal Law
In the area of criminal law, our case representation covers a broad scope – from DUI and simple assault to extreme cases such as murder, which carries the death penalty. Domestic violence and sexual assault are other criminal defense areas in which we provide representation, to name a few.

Personal Injury
We also concentrate our practice in personal injury. Our attorneys have represented clients involved in car accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death and other areas involving personal injury.

Settlement vs. Litigation
In criminal defense, personal injury and family law, our attorneys have a proven track record of successfully trying cases. Even so, not every case should be taken to trial. We tailor our practice to the needs of our individual clients. Because trials can become costly, if we can achieve a positive outcome through negotiation or settlement, that is our first objective. Our clients’ best interests always come first.

Personalized Attention
As our client, you will not be handed off to an attorney you have never met. Your attorney will know your case and keep you informed. You will likely have many questions. In a criminal case you may wonder what your chances are of avoiding conviction. Is there a possibility you will go to jail? If we are representing you in a personal injury, you may wonder how much compensation you may receive. How will you pay your doctor bills? Family issues bring a whole different set of questions. When your divorce will be final? Are your chances favorable for child custody? How much will child support be? We take our time to answer your questions and minimize any confusion.

Legal Fees
Clients are often concerned about legal fees. Fees will not be a surprise. During our initial consultation we will thoroughly discuss the costs associated with your case.
Our legal fees reasonably reflect the level of legal experience and personal attention we provide. If you are looking for the best help you can afford, come see us.
