Megan Landi

Ms Landi had 1 conversation with me over the phone, in which she was obsessed with my mental health. I was transparent in regards to my need for therapy after 10 years of abuse, as anyone would need, and requested that the facts and the truth be used as a defense. I also stressed how this false charg...e was the only thing inhibiting me to gain closure. I did not conform to her desire to formulate a mental defense and pressed to be given a trial with my own peers as all citizens have a right to. That resulted in Ms Landi lying to me, saying that the upcoming hearing was for her to request a continuance, when in fact she requested a fitness to proceed without any substantial justification. This "defender" has now paused the trial and has created unsurmountable trauma, knowing full well I am a survivor of abuser retaliation and DARVO tactics. She based her justification on "observations" of me...when in fact we have never met. As well as the fact I had emailed the DA per the guidance of Klamath Sheriff dept in order to have charges pressed against the ones that filed fraudulent orders against me. Ms Landi then withdrew, stating also that we had ethical differences. To me, that is breaking one of the rules that lawyers are to follow, in that, they are not to withdraw in such a way their client is left in a bad light. Since then, I have had to attend a hearing, unrepresented and now I am in the court in which mentally ill people are tried in. My case was put out another month as I am not represented and I am still facing the fitness to proceed hearing, even though Ms. Landi never had a just reason to cause this level of trauma in my life. Observing the proceedings as I waited for my turn, I noted that Ms. Landi seemed to be the main defender that handled fitness to proceed suspects. This process is highlighted in an article on the Oregon State Bar website and defines Ms. Landi's practices to a T. Fitness to proceed requests are becoming common practice with lawyers that want to 'clear the courtroom' or may have clients that actually require work. I will be pushing to have Ms Landi held liable for her frivolous and unjust request and the mental and fiscal damage it has, as continues to create.
