Kathleen M. Baker

I was nervous when I first met with Kathleen, i wasn't sure if she was representing me, or was the Prosecuting Attorney. Her no-nonsense approach soon earned my complete respect, as she completely, unequivocally had my best interests at heart. What a complete breath of fresh air, to have someone on your side, fighting for your best outcome. Although it is my goal to never need an attorney again, i can assure you, that if i do, Kathleen Baker will get the call.

Kathleen Educated me and clearly had my best interest at heart .. she was pleasant and professional... yes at times I did not get a call back but she has other cases and others need to give her a break

Katie assisted me in my bankruptcy case. She was both extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I can not suggest her services highly enough.

I retained Katie in 2010 when I first split up with my wife. Katie took the huge rock off my shoulders and helped with every step of the way. With the difficulties of a divorce she explained to me what my rights were under the law. She also explained to me about different motions she could file that would benefit me. However she explained to me the long term risks I would take if we filed those motions. Meaning that filing those motions would just fuel the emotions in a divorce and would drag it out for a long period of time. My divorce was handled in the normal amount of time because of katies work and the relationship we had. Katie also recently put together an LLC on a business I started. It was great working with her and she was very knowledgeable helping me through every step of the way. I also like that that I can take every simple legal question I have and ask Katie. She explains things in a simple way where I can understand. Having Katie there for me is great and I highly recommend her.

I came to Katie for help with my divorce and custody case. She was the calm in my storm and patiently explained what was acceptable under the law. And she had to explain it over and over. My fathers daughter was abusive and reported no income (he worked under the table). She made legal recommendations and gave me references that I would never have had access to without her. I was able to get as much child support as we could and added what we could to the document to protect my daughter in the future. She was a great moral support as well and I consider her a friend. I would refer to anyone that had a need.

I had originally thought I could represent myself in my administrative hearing. When I received the documents concerning the hearing, I panicked realizing I was truly in over my head. I didn't have any expectations going into the hearing, nor did I think a lawyer could really do anything for me in such a short time as the case was within the week. But then, when I had talked to Kathleen, all of that had changed. Her knowledge and experience alone gave me much comfort in the hearing. I felt like I didn't have to worry. She was super helpful, resourceful, and prompt. I wasn't expected to be present at my hearing as I knew Kathleen was going to take care of business, but I was a curious guy and wanted to experience the "process". As I listened to her do lawyer business, I was so impressed with everything. She was knowledgable, prepared, and lethal. Yes, I felt her prosecutor experience come into play and was so glad to be on her side. I know if I ever need anything, even advice, I wouldn't hesitate to call her first.

Recently I had a very unfortunate situation where I needed the services of a good attorney. Kathleen (Katie) Baker was outstanding. From the first day we met, she showed compassion and understanding for my situation. She was very competent and had helpful recommendations when I needed them. She had a plan for how to proceed with my case and was trustworthy and responsive as things moved along. In the end my case was dismissed and I am thankful for the work that Katie did on my behalf. I confidently recommend Kathleen Baker.

I found Kathleen Baker through the Oregon state bar referral service and I could not be happier with the work she did for me. Whenever I had questions about my case or the next steps I needed to take she was readily available and willing to help. She was knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable with what was going on, since I was out of state for the entirety of the proceedings. I received return emails in a timely manner, and if she was unavailable when I called she always returned my call as soon as she was available. I have had experiences with other attorneys in the past that I was not satisfied with, and Kathleen made up for their shortcomings. I will definitely retain her again if the need ever arises and will recommend her to anyone that I know that is looking for a competent, intelligent, and hard working attorney.

When I had my incident I was extremely overwhelmed. I tried researching information on the internet and quickly recognized I was in over my head. There was a lot of information out there. Some of the information was good; however a lot of it was misleading or incomplete. Having many years of experience as a prosecutor of my type of offense, Kathleen was very well versed in all aspects of my case. I felt very confident and comfortable that Kathleen let no stone go unturned and that we pursued all of our options. I received excellent advice and she was able to ease a lot of my anxiety of the process to come. She has an incredible command of the subject matter and was able to convey that information to me so that I could comfortably understand all of the legal proceedings. Most importantly, Kathleen was easily accessible. She would answer my phone calls and would respond promptly to my questions and emails. This not only happened during my legal proceedings, but well after. Hopefully you do not find yourself in the situation where you need to search for a DUII attorney on-line. In fact, I don’t know how you would with all of the predatory advertising that is out there. I feel fortunate to have been referred to Kathleen Baker and would recommend her to my friends and family should they ever fall victim to a similar situation as mine. I would not hesitate to explore Kathleen's services involving other areas of her expertise should the need ever arise. I would absolutely recommend Kathleen Baker!

Anytime I asked for an update, or had questions about my case, it was very difficult to reach Katie, it didn't matter if it was via email, or via phone. When she would finally get in contact with me she would always calm my fears or anxiety about the situation, and that ability can be attributed to her vast knowledge. Unfortunately the fact that a pretty simple case drug on for weeks and weeks and months because so much time would go by before I would receive a response that I would absolutely not recommend her to anyone for any reason. The fact that a relatively simple divorce(no argument from the other party, just a few modifications here and there due to very severe clerical errors) became a big deal because we both wanted it over and done with, but it just became never ending.
