Nicole’s Client Avoids Prison Time for Aggravated Robbery after Probation Violation

Date: December 2020
Case: Probation Violation and Controlled Substance Crime
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: After being convicted of a felony aggravated robbery and sentenced to 20 years of probation with a 58-month prison sentence hanging over his head, Nicole’s client violated his probation and was found with drugs in his pocket at his probation violation hearing. On top of his risk of being sent to prison, he now faced a new drug charge, and another violation. However, based on numerous discussions and negotiations Nicole had with the prosecutor and probation officers about her client’s proactive steps in treatment, they finally reached a resolution. In this resolution, Nicole’s client was able to avoid prison and jail time, continue with his previous conditions of probation, and at completion of probation, the new drug charge will be dismissed.
