When you get charged with a DWI, there are not just criminal penalties that go
Date: December 2022
Case: Felony Second Degree Controlled Substance Possession, Misdemeanor Fourth Degree DWI
Attorney: Nicole Kettwick
Result: After being pulled over for a DWI, law enforcement searched our client’s vehicle and found cocaine and a large amount of cash. As a result, he was charged with Felony Second Degree Controlled Substance Possession and a DWI. Because of his criminal history score, he was facing a presumptive prison commitment of up to 117 months. However, based on the client’s proactive steps and Nicole’s negotiations with the prosecutor, Nicole was able to negotiate a downward durational departure with no additional jail or prison time. This means that if the client is successful on probation, he will avoid spending any time in jail or prison.
