Kathy M. Baker-Bowen

Kathy is an exceptional attorney, extended knowledge in the laws and did a great job translating legal terms into language that I was able to understand. By far she exceeded my expectations when she represented me in my child custody case. She is a compassionate, honest and caring individual and a g...reat asset and representation of the legal profession.

I found Kathy Baker-Bowen in the Yellow Pages over 10 years ago when I was getting divorced. Not only did she do an excellent job, she fought hard for me and kept me in the loop as issues came up during the divorce. Since that time I have referred over 6 clients to her, all happy, satisfied clients. ...I have also used her again after my daughter was born to write our Will and my husband hired her to get more visitation with his son/my stepson. I wouldn't use anyone else, but her!

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.
