OFP Dismissed and conviction avoided after Domestic Assault charges

Date: February 2021
Case: Domestic Assault and OFP
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: After an incident with his girlfriend, Nicole’s client, a father with no criminal history, was charged with domestic assault and received an Order for Protection (OFP) filed against him. Nicole communicated with the Petitioner (person who filed the OFP against her client) and it was ultimately dismissed. Nicole gathered letters of support from his family and friends and, after negotiations with the prosecutor, was able to secure a stay of adjudication for her client on a lesser charge of disorderly conduct. After completing one year on probation the charge against Nicole’s client will get dismissed and he will be able to keep a conviction off of his record.
