Case: Felony First Degree and Third Degree Drug Charges, Fourth Degree DWI
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: Nicole secured a highly favorable resolution in a complex drug and DWI case. The client faced serious charges, including First Degree Drug Possession, which carries a presumptive prison sentence. Nicole worked with the client to take proactive steps towards treatment and emphasized her client’s personal circumstances to the prosecutor.
After thorough review of the State’s evidence, Nicole successfully negotiated a Stay of Adjudication on the Third Degree Drug charge, with a complete dismissal of the First Degree charge. The DWI charge was reduced to reckless driving. Through this resolution, her client avoided both prison time and a felony conviction. The client was placed on probation for three years, after which the drug charge will be dismissed upon successful completion.
