Workplace disputes at law firms usually end in an empty bottle of liquor, but not this time.

On Sunday night, a pair of attorneys allegedly knocked on the door of a law firm managing partner’s home, and forced their way inside. The married couple stands accused of viciously stabbing both the partner and his wife, both of whom were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

Sources say the criminal activity occurred shortly after one of the invaders was let go from the firm. Let’s dig into all of the gory details…

Alecia and Andrew Schmuhl, both 2009 graduates of Valparaiso University School of Law who later married, are the ones who allegedly perpetrated this crime. According to her LinkedIn profile, Alecia Schmuhl is employed at Bean Kinney & Korman, a well-known Northern Virginia firm — or, she was employed there until recently. One of our sources tells us that Alecia’s employment at the firm was terminated this past Friday.

Alecia and her husband, who describes himself as an “experienced attorney seeking opportunities,” allegedly cooked up this plan to get back at Leo S. Fisher, Bean Kinney’s managing partner, after Alecia was fired. Here are some details on the criminal conduct that transpired that night from WUSA9:

There's nothing in her LinkedIn profile, which was still up at 4:36 p.m. on Thursday, to indicate that trouble was on the way.

The Washington Post, citing prosecutors and police, reports that Andrew Schmuhl entered the house after pretending to be a police officer, tied Fisher and his wife up and then repeatedly stabbed them. The couple were arrested after a car chase, and Andrew was wearing nothing but a diaper when he was taken into custody, the Post reported.
