We’ve worked with Schlather & Birch for many years. It’s always been an excellent, responsive and helpful experience. Susan has been our primary contact and resource throughout this time. Always knowledgeable, always quick to answer questions and explain what needed to occur and next steps. She’s the best. Bob was very helpful at closing and clearly explained documents and answered questions during the process. Made it simple and straight forward to follow.

When we closed on our first house we worked with Bob Birch..he was kind and easy to work with. Fast forward 29 years and moving to another state the transaction just seamless. Casie, was an absolute lifesaver. She answered all my questions, no matter how repetitive or crazy. Her communication via phone, text, or email always timely! I cannot recommend Schlater & Birch highly enough. Thanks for everything.

We asked a quicker review of the real estate and a speed up on closing. This firm was prompt and responsive to our needs. Schlage and Birch was there thirty years ago and they were here today. Thank you for the hard work by Casie

I've had the pleasure of working with Attorney Birch and Co for several years in my capacity as a Realtor and have grown to appreciate his professionalism, insight, and ability to keep the big picture in mind. He is also a very kind and personable man, who sees the best in others. Much needed qualities in our profession. Recently my wife and I retained Attorney Birch for our own legal needs, including estate planning and real estate representation. Our experience has always been excellent and I highly recommend his services.

I retained Schlather & Birch to handle a property purchase. Super professional through the entire process. I received emails for every step. I brought the seller in too. We contacted many, many attorneys with no response. Seller and myself are both extremely satisfied! I recommend Mr. Birch and his staff every time. Every staff member I dealt with are top notch and I was treated with the utmost respect! Thanks, Mr. Birch, Lauren and Susan James G

Mr. Birch made a difficult, personal situation extremely painless for me. I was very nervous and apprehensive about our first meeting and he soothed my nerves with his calm demeanor and professionalism. The process was straightforward from day one and he was very accommodating to my needs, and patient with my questions. I cannot thank him enough for helping me through this very difficult time.

The firm is very relationship oriented so a breath of fresh air...they focus on the people and their needs as well as the detail of legal needs associated with their service...working with them is refreshing. They care deeply about service and satisfaction and work tirelessly to achieve the goal, no matter the obstacles that unexpectedly surface! We've hired Bob Birch for numerous legal needs/problems and all have been solved expediently and with caring..a quality often lacking in the legal field. Their expertise is great but it's the combination of HOW they work as well as WHAT they accomplish that makes us rehire the firm. We hired the firm for real estate needs as well estate issues.

Both Robert Birch and all the office workers in the firm that I dealt with were not only friendly and supportive, but knowledgeable and always eager to help in any way possible. Mr. Birch was great to have in my corner and made the process easy to understand and seamless!
