Kathy M. Baker-Bowen

Mrs. Baker-Bowen was my teacher at University of Illinois Springfield for a semester so I got to spend 16 weeks with her as we went over Civil Procedure. While she was not my attorney she was competent in each area of knowledge that we were tested on as students - From Wills, Contracts, Divorce proce...edings, etc. I was then offered a position in her office as an intern and spent close to 200 hours working alongside her (and her office) to shadow her while she worked on divorces, custody, and adoption. Funny thing about the internet is that you can lambaste a profession with no real concern due to anonymity. I feel bad that the other posters think that of Mrs. Baker-Bowen, as she was nothing but professional and prompt in all the meetings that I attended. I am curious though if the people that are commenting lost their case, or were just merely displeased with their verdict? Regardless of the negative commentary - I have recommended Mrs. Baker-Bowen to several of my friends and she has offered to assist pro-bono a few times to clientele that cannot make their payments. She was a valuable asset to the Christian, Sangamon, and Montgomery County Courts. 9.5/10 would hire, and would recommend for anyone looking for representation in the arena of family law.

Kathy was very knowledgeable and responsive. She took control of our entire situation and made our adoption so easy. She attended all of the court dates (without us having to be present for most) and kept us informed of each step. I have recommended her to three friends and she has handled all of ...their issues with ease as well. Kathy is your one-stop-shop for family law! -Tonya
