About Carrie T.
Carrie T. Schilling practices law in Texas after completing her legal education on the West Coast. She began law school in 2004 and earned her J.D. from California Western School of Law in 2007. That academic period shaped her approach to case preparation and client contact, stressing careful analysis and practical problem solving.
She moved into practice and took on increasing responsibility in both office management and client work. In 2017 she became the managing lawyer at The Law Office of Carrie T. Schilling. In that role she handled case strategy, supervised support staff, and managed firm operations while continuing to meet directly with clients and opposing counsel. The managing position gave her hands-on experience in balancing courtroom work and the day-to-day demands of running a small firm.
Over time she established her own practice structure and now operates under Schilling Law, PLLC. Running her own firm has allowed her to set procedures for case intake, document preparation, and client communication. She has overseen matters from initial consultation through resolution, and she remains involved in the practical aspects of litigation and negotiation rather than only in administrative oversight.
Colleagues describe her approach as direct and pragmatic. She tends to frame legal questions in plain terms so clients can make informed decisions. When preparing for hearings or drafting pleadings she focuses on the relevant facts and applicable law. Her work has required close coordination with experts, opposing counsel, and court staff on a routine basis.
Outside the courtroom she has handled the managerial tasks that small-firm practice demands. Budgeting, staffing, and case workflow all fall under her supervision. Those responsibilities have informed how she counsels clients about timing and cost, and they shape how she sets expectations at the outset of a matter.
She is an attorney licensed to practice in Texas and has built a local practice that serves clients across the state. Her experience running a boutique firm informs both how she approaches cases and how she communicates with clients. Her current practice focuses on serving clients throughout Texas from her office at Schilling Law, PLLC.
