Kathleen M. 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.

Katie never knew the answers to anything I asked her! These were common questions..! She helped the Trustee help himself to $4,000+ that I did NOT have! I had to borrow from my 401K in order to pay the "Trustee"! I had told Katie that was what the money was for in my checking account. She didn't e...ven help protect it!! I was filing BR because I had NO money!! I t got so bad, my friends and family kept asking me if she was actually "working for the other side"! My case was very straightforward and should have only taken 4 or less months (per input from others I knew who had closed their BR's). She managed to extend my case out to 1 year!!! She would sometimes not return my calls for 2 or more weeks! Pls. do not use Katie if you value your time, your money and your sanity!

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 comfortabl...e 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.
