Case: Gross Misdemeanor DWI
Attorney: Nicole Kettwick
Result: Nicole’s client was charged with two Gross Misdemeanor DWIs in Ramsey County. Even though Nicole’s client had a high alcohol reading and a prior DWI her client took proactive steps, which Nicole used to negotiate a favorable resolution. Despite a law requiring a mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail, Nicole worked out a resolution where her client could avoid all jail time if he agreed to only drive a vehicle equipped with ignition interlock, as part of an exception to that law. Nicole’s client was sentenced to no jail time and three years of probation.
