Case: Reckless Driving
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: Nicole’s client damaged her apartment complex garage after a driving incident, which landed her with a reckless driving charge. After negotiations with the prosecutor and the client’s proactive steps, Nicole was able to get the prosecutor to lessen the charge to careless driving and secure a stay of adjudication for her client. This means that her client was not convicted of any charge but was placed on unsupervised probation for one year. If she successfully completes probation, the amended careless driving charge will be dismissed. This resolution allowed Nicole’s client to keep a conviction off her record.
