Posted by Paul | February 22, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Highly Unethical and dishonest. Kelly wantonly defied a Judge's order to protect my, her client's, rights.

Public Defender Kelly Fitzpatrick has acted unethically. Kelly is on record admitting she refuses to meet with me, her client fact to face in defiance of The Honorable Judge Ulanda Watkins' orders, and disregards Judge Watkin's ruling protecting my rights. Kelly called me February 11th, the day b...efore we were supposed to meet to have her assigned to me as council, being as my last Atty had withdrawn from my case "for ethical reasons" stemming from the previous Atty's investigator trying to coerce me to sign an unjust plea to a crime I did not commit. (That investigator no longer works for Clackamas County Public Defenders now, from my understanding.) Kelly Fitzpatrick began the conversation on February 11th at 11am, stating that she understood I firmly refuse to sign the unjust plea offered (for crime I'm innocent of.) She then continued to try to frame the situation s if I were guilty, misrepresenting the context of one obtained grainy, mute courthouse surveillance video. Kelly offered no defense strategy... to the contrary. Kelly stated she absolutely refused to consider or present ANY of the many pieces of video evidence, which capture the entire ordeal from the beginning, until the arrest of my attacker, who eventually did plea guilty to violently assaulting and injuring me. Kelly further stated she would only ask me if I TOUCHED my convicted violent assailant, and I would only be allowed to answer Yes or No. Nothing else. Just "Yes or No." She demanded I add absolutely no context, and reiterated none of the evidence or witnesses who can easily prove my innocence by providing context would be allowed. I protested that this takes the entire situation out of contest, and is unethical. Kelly, throughout the conversation reiterated that she refuses to call any witnesses for my defense, or provide me with any defense strategy she intended to pursue. When I objected stating this was ridiculous and unjust, Kelly stated she could not work with me and the next hearing, the next day, February 12, she would be referring me to the "Aid And Assist Docket" and ordering a psychological evaluation from, as she specified "A Private Company" to have me deemed incapable of aiding in my own defense. During the conversation, to gaslight me, Kelly accused me of talking over her for 21min. The conversation had only been going 11min, 51sec. The next day February 12th, Kelly failed to show for the hearing in front of The Honorable Judge Watkins which was scheduled. A stand in atty. presented Kelly's motion. I objected, briefly explained the situation, and requested my right to waive council. Judge Watkins agreed but ordered I first have a face to face meeting with Kelly Fitzpatrick. Judge Watkins ruled that one telephone meeting was insufficient for Kelly's request, and Judge Watkins said she wanted us to meet face to face, then afterword if I still desired, I can waive my right to council. She had the waiver of council form handed to me. After waiting a few days for contact, I reached out via email to Kelly explaining Judge Watkin's orders of a face to face meeting. Kelly refused and stated she will only agree to another telephone call. When I specified The Honorable Judge Watkins specifically ordered the meeting face to face, Kelly responded "Contact my paralegal to set up a phone-call." I did so & another call was set up for February 19th at 11:30 am. Once again, I mentioned Judge Watkins ordered this to be face to face, in person. I was told Kelly did not have time, because she would be "Bouncing between the jail and the courthouse." I informed the paralegal that I was willing to meet Kelly at the courthouse, which has several conference rooms for Atty-Client meetings. I doubt she would be making the call from the jail, so this struck me as reasonable. https://odysee.com/Kelly-Fitzpatrick-Defying-Judge-Watkins-orders---refusal-to-defend:a Kelly is highly unethical & not to be trusted.
