PEORIA, Ill. – The new Public Defender for Peoria County is a familiar name.
Tenth Circuit Chief Judge Katherine Gorman says she’s appointed Kevin Lowe.
Lowe has been a defense attorney for nearly three decades, and has been affiliated with the Public Defender’s office for 22 of those.
Lowe replaces Nate Bach, who was named an associate judge in late-February.
An official swearing-in ceremony for Lowe will be at a later date.
