Gross Misdemeanor Damage to Property and Domestic Assault Reduced to Disorderly Conduct

Date: March 2021
Case: Criminal Damage to Property, Domestic Assault
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: After facing charges of criminal damage to property and domestic assault from a fight at home where a phone was broken and 911 was called, Nicole’s client was arrested and faces 4 criminal charges. Despite the tense relationship between the alleged victim and Nicole’s client, Nicole negotiated a stay of adjudication on a lesser charge of disorderly conduct for her client. This means that her client pled guilty to disorderly conduct, the other charges were dismissed, but was not convicted of any of the charges. As long as her client completes one year of probation, the remaining charge will be dismissed, and he will avoid a criminal conviction.
