Shannon M Kmetic

I would definitely not recommend Shannon as an attorney. Her lack of attention to detail cost me thousands of dollars. I feel her lack of professionalism in the courtroom also added to my losses. As a self-employed person, my time is valuable. She no-showed me for multiple appointments at her off...ice, showing a total disrespect for my time. I would offer an old saying; "you get what you pay for." Her rates might seem reasonable but not worth the risk.

Scheduled a consult with her, which was difficult to get as she never returned calls. Should have been the first red flag. Was extremely unprofessional. Everything she suggest was aimed at causing more confrontation to an already hard situation. You can tell she is in this for the money and not for ...servicing her client's needs or wants. Definitely has her own agenda. Turns out she's been suspended in the past. Do your homework before hiring her!

I don't even know where to begin. Boyfriend was in jail 9 days and never saw her one time. I called her during that 9 days and never got a call back. A couple days after he got out (on $4,000 bail) we got a bill for over $600 for lawyer fees. Huh? She was never there for appointments. Boyfriend staye...d home from work for a phone interview and she never called. Not one time was she available for a meeting.To top it off she went before the judge and blamed the lack of communication on the client. Due to that they were going to put him back in jail to wait for a new trial date so he asked to just be sentenced right then. This woman is the worse attorney I've ever seen. She wears leggings and boots to court. The same outfit for every appearance. I dressed with more respect for the court than she did. We plan to file a complaint with the Oregon State Bar. I have a professional license in a field that's highly reliant on ethics and wouldn't be caught dead treating any of my clients the way she treated us. Apparently she was formerly a prosecutor and doesn't think the rules apply to her. We shall see Ms Kmetic. We shall see.
