The bank cleared it up and returned the money within 2 or 3 days. Naturally, the lawyer was very gracious and a little abashed about her mistake:

"Baker sent electronic communications Sept. 22, 2023, that allegedly included:

  • A text to Illinois Reynolds, telling him that his retention of the money is “unlawful,” and if he did not return the money in 24 hours, “collection, garnishment and all available recovery methods will commence, including notifying your employer of your conduct.”

  • Another text threatening to sue Illinois Reynolds, informing him that he is a “thief,” threatening to tell a charity affiliated with Reynolds that he committed a “theft,” and saying she should share the information with “anyone with a basic internet connection.”

  • Yet another text telling Illinois Reynolds that he and his wife were being named in a civil action for unjust enrichment. The text included an address thought to be his “in an effort to intimidate” him and his wife, according to the complaint.

  • An email threatening a suit to Illinois Reynolds’ wife, a third grade teacher, using her school email address.

In additional texts, Baker forwarded materials to Illinois Reynolds’ employer and co-worker “in an effort to cast him in a negative light and to disparage him,” the ethics complaint says."

She then filed not one but TWO lawsuits against him *after* the money was returned.

What a psycho "My undistinguished academic record was possible only through circumstances of my birth and others’ toil. After law school (Capital University), I passed the Ohio bar exam in 2012. In 2019, I left a civil service job to pursue legal work. I enjoy advocating for those who might not otherwise have access to our legal system. I have taken licks, enjoyed some success, and always tried to help people.

When I’m not striving to be useful before I die, I spend time with my husband and dogs, care for our home, and am a steady source of disappointment to my parents.

The Law Office of Christine Baker: Trying to do the right thing, with mixed results, since 2019."
