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.

She lies to her own clients to get billable hours and does not have their best interest in mind. She seems to know almost nothing about law. Extremely discourteous and toxic personality. She won't settle a case because she gets fewer fees that way. I know mere high school graduates who are more... logical than she is. Like the other reviewer, I have worked with many attorneys, not as a litigant, but as a professional person, and had a generally good impression about attorneys. Ms Baker-Bowen is just appalling and gives the legal profession a terrible name. I am still thinking of suing her for fraud. DESTRUCTIVE ATTORNEY! Do not hire her to represent you--you will be better off with no attorney at all. Things that should take two hours take two years with this attorney. The only slack I can cut her is that perhaps she has an untreated mental disorder. I do not mean that sarcastically. I mean that normal, well-adjusted people are afraid to be negligent and to knowingly commit fraud, and they also take some pride in their work product and reputation. Surely there are enough viable cases in Springfield without Ms Baker-Bowen having to scrape the bottom for fees? She is an actress playing the role of attorney.
