Nicole’s Client Avoids Felony Conviction After Fleeing in a Motor Vehicle

Date: January 2022
Case: Felony Fleeing and Underage Drinking and Driving
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: Nicole’s client was charged with felony fleeing and underage drinking and driving after fleeing the police, weaving through traffic, and going across the median and the wrong way on the road to avoid the police. After working with her client and preparing materials for the prosecutor’s consideration, Nicole negotiated a dismissal of the underage drinking and driving charge, a return of the vehicle that had been seized after the incident, and eliminating the felony down to a gross misdemeanor. If Nicole’s client complies with unsupervised probation for just 2 years, he will not have to spend any time in jail.
