Nicole Anlauf Kettwick

Nicole Kettwick is top-notch attorney that define professionalism. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in trouble with the law and looking for immediate help and relief. I found her opinions on matters to be very realistic, and while she may err on the side of caution, you can bet Nicole ...will work her hardest to deliver more than expected.

Last spring I went through the most difficult, shameful point of my life. My drinking was out of control and I started becoming violent with my wife in front of our young son. He mentioned this at his school, which led to Child Protective Services opening a case on our family. The CPS investigator to...ld my wife if she didn’t take out an Order for Protection against me that they would put our son in protective custody. I was served by our local police department several days later. I had never been more ashamed of myself and frightened for what came next. I was so overwhelmed with everything I didn’t know I needed an attorney. It wasn’t until the judge encouraged me to hire one at my first hearing that I started my search. I found Avvo and started calling different firms, but no one really jumped out until I talked to Nicole. From the jump Nicole was beyond professional. Our initial call led to an in-office consultation which led to me hiring her. I had never dreamed I would need a criminal defense attorney. What I found in Nicole was an attorney with incredible depth of expertise combined with amazing compassion and understanding. I was so worried about being judged for my behavior...after all I was an alcoholic wife-beater about to be removed from his family for up to two years. Nicole didn’t judge me a bit, and even offered personal encouragement to start making the drastic changes i knew I needed in my life. Nicole’s expertise helped me avoid a potential loss of my personal liberty while also meeting the safety needs of my wife (my wife and I were both motivated to heal our marriage). She was always available o answer questions or offer counsel. She was one of the few calm spots I had in my life while I started straightening things out with my behavior and my chemical dependency. I don’t think anyone is ever happy to be looking for a criminal defense attorney. You don’t ever call one because things are going really well. When the stuff hits the fan, though, it’s a different story. I was glad I called Nicole, and I guarantee you will be glad you called her, too.

My experience with Nicole was excellent. She very clearly explained what was going to happen throughout the case and what my options were. The case unfolded exactly as she said it would. At court appearances, I could tell that she was well respected by everyone from the court staff to the judge and t...he prosecutor. As a result of her hard work, my case was resolved with a great outcome for me. Nicole is the best of the best and I would (and do!) recommend her to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. She is the best. Hands down.
