In August of 2018, Nicole Kettwick’s client was charged with burglary and theft in relation to an incident that occurred at the client’s place of work.
After obtaining and reviewing the State’s evidence, Nicole negotiated with the County Attorney. Not only was Nicole able to get the burglary charge dismissed, she was able to obtain diversion for the theft charge. Even though diversion is not typically available for employer-related thefts, Nicole argued that her client’s specific circumstances, lack of criminal record, and remorse made the client an ideal candidate for diversion. As a result, Nicole’s client plead guilty to the theft charge and the County Attorney agreed to automatically dismiss the case after two years if the client adhered to agreed-upon conditions.
Because of her advocacy and expertise, Nicole was able to get the right resolution for her client.
