Gage D. Barrows
Gage joined the Firm as a partner in 2025. He previously practiced general civil litigation and spent several years at a local family law practice. He currently practices throughout the State of Illinois, including the Appellate and Federal Courts.
His legal work primarily focuses on family law, orders of protection, personal injury, business litigation, and estate planning. He’s passionate about litigation and thrives in the courtroom, whether he's helping families navigate tough transitions or resolving complex business disputes. He also practices some criminal defense, primarily traffic matters, DUIs, and other non-violent offenses.
Clients describe Gage as approachable, a straight-shooter, and down-to-earth. (For an attorney). He currently resides in Downtown Decatur – minutes from the courthouse. When he’s not in court, you can find him fishing somewhere quiet, traveling somewhere new, or debating with friends over trivial subjects. He’s serious about the law, but never too serious to crack a joke or cast a line.
