Two Baker Sterchi Professionals Named 2026 MLM Unsung Legal Heroes

Baker Sterchi professionals Anita Driscoll and Charniece Rollie have been named 2026 Unsung Legal Heroes by Missouri Lawyers Media. The award honors law firm staff who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, often behind the scenes.

Driscoll, a legal administrative assistant, was recognized in the legal secretary category. Based in the firm’s Kansas City office, she has supported attorneys and colleagues for more than 39 years, working alongside Member Tom Seigfreid for her entire tenure at the firm. Over nearly four decades, Driscoll has taken on a wide range of responsibilities with professionalism, precision and dedication. Her commitment to the legal administrative assistant role and steady support of the firm have made her a valued part of Baker Sterchi’s history and culture.

Rollie, Director of Administration, was recognized in the firm administrator category. With nearly 25 years of legal industry experience, including 10 years at Baker Sterchi, she is responsible for several key operational areas. Like Driscoll, Rollie has worn many hats at the firm, rising from legal administrative assistant to assistant to the executive director and now director of administration. In her current role, she oversees firmwide conflicts and resolution, along with records management, facilities, reception and office services for the firm’s Kansas City office.

Rollie also has held leadership roles in legal industry organizations, including serving as president and vice president of the Heart of America Legal Professionals Association and as a member of the NALS Next Generation Leadership Committee. She holds a Certificate of Mastery in Inclusive Leadership from Authentico and the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and was recently appointed to the Professional Development Committee of the International Facility Management Association’s Kansas City Chapter.
