Poor communication with clients who pay a lot of money for services. The attorney just seems too busy to answer questions and keep clients informed on important details. Maybe it would have worked more smoothly had I lived in illinois. Insted she removed herself from my case less than a month before an important court date. A refund is unknown at this point . I doubt ill see a dime back.
Don’t let those one star reviews fool you. Katherine Smith-Thornton works hard for her clients. Wish we still lived in the area to continue using her services.

Katherine represented me in my divorce and made the experience much better than I expected the process to be. She was extremely approachable and reassuring through everything. I could use many positive words to describe this amazing woman but honest and trustworthy are the best I can think of. Changed my view of lawyers forever!!!

Katherine has been my attorney for over 25 years, beginning with a divorce/ custody case. I have recommended her to friends and family members over the years and will continue to do so. She has always been fair, honest and a good communicator.

Katherine Smith-Thornton has represented me on a divorce, and consulted with me on two separate custody cases. Not only was she prompt with answering any and all questions, we all came to amicable agreements. I was never intimidated to be open and honest with her about all facets of each individual case. I would highly recommend her to represent you for any family law case you may have.

Katherine did my nasty divorce for me. She is a great attorney. She really did go above and beyond to make sure my divorce was as easy as possible for me. She worked with my ex-husbands attorney to come up with a great custody plan that everyone can agree on. I felt comfortable having her represent me and I’m thankful everyday that I walked into her office!
Katherine will also be doing my parents will and a will for myself. Sending all my friends and family to her.
Key skills:
Communication- with clients and with other attorneys. Promptness- within a few days of walking in and putting down my retainer, I received a call stating what the next step was. Decision Making- she helped advise me on what would be best for not only myself but for my child. Family oriented- never felt uncomfortable letting my child talk with her about issues my ex and I had!

I wish I could go into great detail on why you should not allow Ms. Smith-Thornton to be your GAL. But apparently she leaves her own reviews and threatens those who leave bad reviews with calling the cops. But please moms and dads do your research before you allow family courts to appoint her. She makes little to no effort in actually working with her clients. Maybe she is too busy or overloaded. Whatever the case may be she does not have time for serious family court matters....family and esp children are highly affected by her decisions.

Katherine A. Smith-Thornton is one of the best attorneys in the Peoria and Tazewell County areas. This negative review is from an unstable person who makes absolutely no sense. This person has been harassing the attorney by numerous telephone calls and emails. A police report has been made and this Google review will be submitted as well.
