I was fortunate enough to have hired Ms. Bailey to represent and defend me in a complex family law case. It is important to note that I live in another state and the outcome of the case in IL would ultimately impact my family law case where I reside as it relates to jurisdiction (where the case willbe heard) for child custody and divorce. From the start, Ms. Bailey was professional, communicated clearly and effectively (i.e., as a speaker and listener), kept me informed, answered all my questions, and was well organized. She was very knowledgeable, resourceful, and provided great advice through the whole process which helped ease my mind. In addition, Ms. Bailey was compassionate and genuinely cared about me and my family. Ms. Bailey went above and beyond her expectations as an attorney as evidenced by meeting with me remotely on weekends so that I did not have to take off from work, meeting with me on Christmas day to help me prepare for court that was scheduled the day after Christmas, and even offering to pick me up from the airport when I flew in to IL on Christmas eve. At no time did I feel like I was rushed by Ms. Bailey or that she needed to get to her next client while meeting with her. Instead, Ms. Bailey was patient and took the necessary time to understand my unique situation so she could represent me properly. During the trial Ms. Bailey made sure that all the necessary paperwork was prepared (i.e., written materials were clear and presented in a logical manner) and submitted on time. She was a strong advocate and assertive in the courtroom. Ms. Bailey was able to successfully defend me in court through her thorough preparation, attention to detail, persuasive speaking, and her ability to adapt to changing situations that occurred during the trial. Overall, I am forever grateful to Ms. Bailey for her legal help and highly recommend her if you need someone to represent you.

Ms. Bailey is very disorganized and does not communicate effectively when I hired her, I eft repeated unanswered messages Ms. Bailey never returned none of my home calls Then she filed conflict of interest and took herself off my case after I gave her thousands of dollars. Ms. bailey is not to be trusted.

This woman is unprofessional, indecent and most likely the most insecure woman hiding behind a fake ego, I've ever met.

Kathleen was my attorney in my initial divorce / custody case, but only after my first lawyer failed me in the temporary hearing. She came in midstream and helped me as a client identify what was worth fighting for and what a judge wouldn’t care about/what to not fight. Since getting primary custody and sole legal custody of my children, she’s helped me with two key issues that have sent us back to court and she’s been so focused and great. My kids and I are forever grateful.

This lawyer took my ex-husband's case for modification. She shows no integrity or moral compass at ALL! My ex-husband beat me and phyically assaulted me several times, even strangling me (this has already been proven in court). She has had DIRECT CONTACT WITH MY CHILDREN VIA EMAIL, IN PERSON, and PHONE, which should not have been allowed at all by the judge and should have had to produce motions for such communication to put them in the middle and put them against the other parent creating PARENTAL ALIENATION and CONFLICT. She uses statements in court documents using accusatory language as if they are facts. And does not care about putting children in the middle of PETTY parental disputes. Children should not be forced to choose between their parents no matter their age unless under extreme circumstances. This is definately not appropriate conduct for any lawyer. She also allows my ex-husband to lie under oath. I hope she can live with herself knowing that she is helping a controlling narcissist continue abusing his ex-wife through trying to sabotage her relationship with the children she has raised since birth while he was an absent father, through finances and tying up all money with lawyers, emotional and verbal abuse as well. It is insane that people can actually get away with this conduct!

My child's father used Kathleen in our custody case, not only did he, his wife and the rest of his family lie under oath she allowed it to happen. She is a terrible lawyer, if I had pull in a county that I used to work in but not reside in anymore and if I had lied under oath I would have won my case too. She didn't win the case for him due to being a good lawyer.

Dealt with Ms. Bailey in divorce/custody case; Not only does she show a lack of integrity but takes weeks to communicate even via email. Unorganized in court and has no issue blatantly lying to the court for her clients.

Represented me in my divorce. Total lack of professionalism. Took over 2 years and I have nothing left and my ex walked away scott free. I had to pay over $65,000 in accumulated debit myself then help him pay his debit of $17,000. For 3 1/2 years of marriage. Fair??? I think not. Does not communicate or do what you ask

Horrible experience, unprofessional and disorganized! Represented two family members in divorce cases, using one to testify against another case. Besides being unethical was extremely disorganized, poor staff with consistent mistakes. Sent wrong files to wrong family member multiple times and breached confidentiality due to careless mistakes. Dropped like a hot potato, do not use unless you want to be over charged and under represented as Kathleen is NOT available and her assistants are barely literate. There's no wonder I can't find a website or LinkedIn anywhere, I wouldn't want referrals either w/ a business like this!

Ms Bailey failed to submit all my medical bills. Extremely disorganized and unprofessional.

Kathleen was great! I am a dad and she won my child custody case. She was straight to the point and prepared when she came to trial. I would highly recommend her for an attorney

I hired Kathleen after my previous divorce attorney failed to deliver anything she promised, and worse. Kathleen was very open and upfront regarding my prospects of getting my share of the assets he had hidden previously and another court case to prove he committed fraud. She kept me up to date on what was happening, gave me copies of all correspondence, and was very responsive.
