On September 10, 2025, our firm secured not just one, but three separate nolle prosequis (often shortened to nolle pros or nol pros) in a single day.
What Is a Nolle Pros?
Nolle prosequi is a Latin phrase meaning “will no longer prosecute.” In the legal world, it is a formal entry by the State announcing that it will no longer pursue charges against a defendant. When a case is nolle prossed, the prosecution drops the charges, often because conflicting evidence or a strong defense theory makes it clear the case cannot move forward. For our clients, this means they are no longer burdened by the weight of those accusations.
Why It Matters for Clients
Facing criminal charges, whether serious or minor, can upend every part of a person’s life. It threatens reputations, careers, finances, and family stability. A nolle pros brings relief, closure, and a fresh start. Securing even one of these outcomes is cause for celebration. Securing three in the same day underscores our dedication, preparation, and relentless advocacy.
Our Commitment
At Michael P. Maddux, P.A., we know that behind every case file is a person, a family, and a future worth protecting. Securing three nolle pros in one day is not only a professional victory but also a reminder of why we do this work: to safeguard our clients’ rights and give them their lives back.
