Lack of attention to detail

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.

The WORST EVER Attorney! Run the other way!

In three years since she's been appointed to me. She has NEVER returned ANY calls or notes I've left for her. She treats me horribly! Like I'm a piece of trash. She has never once sat down at talked to me about my case in three years. She NEVER would show up at my court days. except A few times to ch...ange the date of my court date and then I would never hear from her!

You're better off defending yourself. A Liar

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.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2019

updated on 01/07/2020

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension Partially Stayed Placed on Probation issued in OR, 2016

updated on 01/27/2017

Suspension partially stayed means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
