Thank You Shannon

Hi Shannon, I hope all is well with you. I've been reflecting on this past year and what has happened since going to jail on 6/22/23. First I started looking for jobs has a Project Manager. but no one would even look at my resume unless I had a PNP Certification from the Project Management Institute..., whatever that is. One year later, I've been studying since August and with my background have been accepted to take the PNP Exam. I will be passing the test next Thursday. With this certification I will be qualified to manager any project worldwide from my home office (excluding N. Korea, China, etc). The salaries for a certified Project Manager are in the 6 figures. Getting that DUI has sent me down a path that I didn't even know existed. I just wanted to say Thank You So Much for everything you did that helped me to have this excellent outcome. Sincerely, Lee Westerman

No representation, no returned phone calls

My husband was arrested for DUII after flipping his truck on a winding country road in the early morning hours on a Saturday. We hired Shannon Kmetic to represent him the following Tuesday. We gave her all the paperwork, including the citations for DUII and refusal to perform the FSTs. She assured ...us she would call us the Friday before the DUII hearing to let us know if, in fact, the hearing was occurring. She did not call. We called her numerous times that Friday and received no response. After a stressful weekend, her secretary called to inform us the hearing had been post-poned (2 hours before the actual hearing). She failed to request a hearing with the DMV within the required 10 day window regarding the suspension of his license. She also failed to tell us about a second citation for refusing the FSTs and the court appearance it required. As a result, my husband was issued a warrant for his arrest. Really?! She had all the paperwork! After consulting a different attorney, it was also brought to our attention that she and us should have gone to the refusal to perform FSTs hearing so we could question the arresting Deputy. Overall, she completely failed us in her representation. As a direct result of her incompetence, my husband's license is suspended while he has not be charged with or convicted of DUII and the fine for the FST citation increased by $115. He can't even apply for a hardship license for 90 days. I would not recommend her to anyone.
